The starting line

Hey I'm Amy and this is the starting line for my first blog post. A few artist that i draw inspiration from are Endling and yuumei, you can checkout there art at:

http://endling.deviantart.com/ and http://yuumei.deviantart.com/

I don't know many animations or animators only some things I've seen on DeviantArt and Youtube.

There's an animation company called Studio 4°C, they have been involved in some amazing works like Tekkonkinkreet Movie, Berserk Movie, The Animatrix and more. One of my personal favourites is Kung Fu Love (Amazing Nuts) and Fluximation. Kung Fu Love is a 10min Ova with a pretty random plot, but the art style is really interesting and the COLOURS are so vibrant, it's really amazing.

Kung Fu Love as known as Amazing Nuts


Tekkonkinkreet is based on a comic by Taiyo Matusmoto and animated by Mustuko Kajiya


Fluximation is 14 short music videos for Utada Hikaru's album "Exodus".
Directed by Koji Morimoto, Kazuto Nakazawa, Hideki Himura, Hiroyuki Kitakubo, Jiro Kanai, Yoshiharu Ashino, Yasuhiro Aoki, Atsuko Fukushima, Tatsuyuki Tanaka, Daisuke Nakayama.

This is the Studio 4°C Music Video Collection 01 Opening



Check out their website at: http://www.studio4c.co.jp/english/ to see more of their works

This is the first animation i saw on DA and I haven't forgotten about since.

Here's another example that i found and liked on DA.


Some videos of cartoons that i love and enjoy

Potatoes and Dragons

Fly Tales

What got my into animation was mostly anime and Studio Ghibli. My obsession spreads through anime and manga, a few examples would be Oh great! but thats more manga then anime (the anime wasn't that great, funny but not well drawn), Soul Eater, Burst Angel, Sword of the stranger, Studio Ghilbli mostly like Nausica Valley of the Wind (TOXIC JUNGLE..sooo well drawn like all his works). I also love durarara! and Baccano mostly for there story though :D.

In our group discussion of our animated influences i mentioned 'MUTO' which was painted/animated by BLU. His works are very 'out there' and abstract (well thats my impression). Its a style you don't see very often.


If you liked MUTO and want to see more of his works here's his website http://www.blublu.org/
