Oh goodness, yes! Animator Joel Trussell hits another music video home-run with this video for The Gossip’s Love Long Distance

(via Joel’s Twitter)

I know that this is a little late, but Drawn! favorite Joel Trussell had an open reception for his Culture Jam Jelly show this past Thursday night at the Grassy Knoll Gallery in Portland, OR. The show is a stunner, with plenty of colorful bearded characters. Joel promised beforehand that not all of the show would consist of vikings, but honestly? I wouldn’t mind. As long as they have that unmistakable JT touch, I’m there. Oh, and just so you know, there are girls in the mix, too. Sans beards. One interesting feature of the show that can’t be missed: a wall covered with faux fur.

To view the show in person, be sure to contact the gallery by going to the site.

I took some shots of the show opening, including the wall of fur: Joel Trussell’s Culture Jelly Show Flickr set.

Oh, and I almost forgot. You can also nab yerself a limited edition show poster signed by Joel himself: Culture Jam Show Poster.

Drawn! favorite (see here) Joel Trussell has posted his latest animated video, Jakob Dylan’s “Evil Is Alive & Well.” Creepy, ominous and Trussell-y: just the way we like it.

Some beautiful work from Saxton Moore (previously). Quotes he:

This is a clip from an animated music video for the band Morcheeba, directed by the talented mastermind Joel Trussell and animation collaboration with your’s truly (SACKS10) I felt like sharing it here mostly because the youtube version that was posted on the web was a horrible representation. Flickr quality is much better. The animation was limited purposely to lend to the director’s stylization. I hope you dig it as much as I do. Feel free to comment below.

Dig the song? You can buy it on iTunes and see more of Saxton’s video there too.

Joel Trussell did a video for M. Ward? How did I miss that!
