Trashpimp... Trashson's Father?

Javis Fir found this image after one of her usual google search inquiries (god only knows)... I really want to visit this land of creatures with hot pink sunglasses and furry moss ladies! Anyway. Stop animation inspiration?

Bonez Comic Strip & Trash Gurber Stop Animation

The design process in full effect! How do we do it... like this: Javis Fir sees abandoned xrays at work and a GAS light bulb explodes above her head. She brings up the idea and we agree, something sweet shall be squeezed from the xrays. Javis Fir and Mollen 18 meet for a session, and start scheming. Something to do with frames, back lights, all the cool broken bits being held together with BOLTS! Hmm... what, what, what. Then Jind Federal shows up and hears our scheme. He starts churning. Goes to get a beer, and walks by the graffiti comic strip art on the walls of Mollen 18's house. WhaBam! The idea is formed. We start cutting and pasting...


It was a super great organic approach to the design process yo. And a lesson. Just start and do it and keep going and voila! Eventually something dope happens and you end up with art. Ideas spin and form and grow and evolve until an idea larger than all or one of us erupts into existence. Further plans for the Bonez Comic Strip series will include stitches to heal the xrays onto the framing, treatment of framing to look like skin or hide, maybe some spray paint overlays such as a sledgehammer whacking in the bolts... and then a frame to support the piece and hold a battery powered led light.

Trash Gurber ~ first character for Trashson Stop Animation

The stop animation process will fill gaps in sessions over periods of time. Having more than one project at a time allows for going where the art is happening and back and forth when ideas form. We'll have a message for the stop animation, and expect it to take lots of fun sessions to complete...

Trashson Storyboard - Stop Animation

This is a super duper rough 5 minute storyboard for Trashson stop animation project. The camera angles would be different, I kept them the same in this sketch for clarity.
