Paul Jacks - Feel My Heartbeat
Two artists in a foreign land cross paths. This stop motion paper animation is the third in a trilogy of collaborations between Eric Power (animator!) & Paul…

I am pleased to present my latest animated music video for Paul Jacks (and our 3rd collaboration)!
This one uses new techniques and experimentations with watercolor and linocut print animation.
As always, hand cut and hand made with love. ❤️
Please enjoy!

After a year of working with @andreaspetersen.bsky.social on this gorgeous new story, I can confidently say it’ll be our greatest collaboration yet if we can get it made.
I’m so ready! Andreas knocked it out of the park here. Kids in the future will wear Written by Andreas Petersen shirts.

I often daydream about what a When You Get To The Forest video game would be like. I like the idea of a game separated into seasons as you slowly learn new skills, gather, plant, expand your map, and experience many adventures.
What type of game is that? Not quite sim as it's a progressive story...

Have you seen When You Get to the Forest? Have you rated it on Letterboxd?
If the answer to this is "yes" and then "no", this is a call to action to drop a rating! We are still trying to get enough reviews to generate an average score. Whatever your rating, good or bad, we want it!

Get swept away by our hand made, human made stop motion feature, When You Get To The Forest!
It’s on a gorgeous Blu with tons of extras courtesy of Cartuna.
In my humble opinion, this is THE best way to enjoy our weird, introspective, and emotional film.
Thanks for supporting indie animation! ❤️

I'm still so honored to have been a part of the Taichung Animation Festival this year where I not only shared Papercuts twice, but also got to participate in a Stop Motion Master's Talk alongside two legendary producers of animation!
Sometimes, this crazy filmmaking journey kinda rocks!

A Christmas Carol film, but Ebenezer doesn’t get to have a happy ending after spending years destroying other people’s lives. Is this anything?

The weather around here has finally started to feel like Autumn. That means it is indeed the perfect time to snuggle up to my paper stop motion Ghoul Log! It's filled with fun little animated surprises like this one. I kinda love it. 🎃 Someone tell Shudder to let me do their official one next year.

Gotta share this again as it’s clear the time of the great frog uprising has come! 🐸

So, this started out as a screen test for a film concept I've been kicking around about a frog going through an existential crisis... then I got carried away and animated a full song from my pal jeremy messersmith's wonderful Ukulele album. Please enjoy. 🐸🎵

I’ve only been in Taiwan one day and I already have seen many wonders! There’s a great enthusiasm for animation here. I had a lovely first screening and an excellent Q & A session after with true stop motion lovers. Had to grab some creepy budget masks for the kids too!

If you happen to be sailing through the crazy blue yonder on an Emirates flight, you can now enjoy the peaceful calm of our film; When You Get To The Forest. 🌲🐈⬛
Let it whisk you away from the horrors of being in a tin can hurtling forth at frightening speeds!
K Bye.

I will be heading to Taiwan next week to show my animated documentary Papercuts and participate in a Master's Talk (which is wild!)
Over there my film title translates to: Paper Dream Wonderland - The Adventure of an Independent Animator and I kinda like that title more!

It's October! You know what that means! I am obligated to shill Attack of the Demons, our hand-animated horror comedy that takes place on Halloween! It's been super fun to see the audience for it grow over the past 5 years. On @screamboxtv.bsky.social, Prime, and Tubi!

My younger brother is autistic. He's also one of the most gentle and awesome people that are currently alive on this planet. I really hate all this current bullshit that is trying to say something is wrong with autistic folks. Maybe we are what's wrong, not them. I mean... jeeeezus.

I made my very first zine! It’s a collection of creepy Samhain folktales featuring silhouette illustrations I’ve been making.
My plan is to ship them out as fun extras in art pieces I sell this month and next.
I’ll be releasing new linocut prints, light box pieces, and larger cut paper work soon!

A while back Andreas, his partner, and I teamed up to pitch a short film called The Maiden and the Liar.
While we didn't end up getting funding, I felt it would be fun to do a little concept art for it.
