He feels that using film is essential for his works, and has, since 1999, used an antique animation camera stand that was used in the 1960s to shoot Peanuts cartoons.

He has an odd style, stick figures on paper with very little use of digital processing. You can get his films at his website, Bitter Films, and read up on some Word of God in this Reddit thread. His animated shorts include: There was a series of Pop-Tarts commercials that looked like they were done by him. They weren't. His works are surreal. And How!
