Women in Animation panel

THE EXPERTS: Sean Bishop, Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, Jim Lujan, Ken Mora,Gracila Rodriguez, Allison Craig, Ivy Flores


Sean, Dahveed, and Dr. Mijo.
Cuddles the fun bear and Ken, Gras, Allison, and Ivy.
This was as we were setting up. The place was packed ...really!

I was a guest of the Women in Film organization. Yup, you heard me! They did a panel on indie DIY animators and I was invited to speak along with some other indie animators. We talked about selling our films, making our films, and the whole DIY thing. Very cool. Great people. Great films. Great coffee. I got to show "The Cougar and the Cub". It was quite the evening indeed.  Did I mention the great coffee?

Flashback: COME TO DADDY



My 2007 cartoon, Come to Daddy. I watched this today. Hadn't seen it in a while.  I just realized this has over ten thousand views. Nice! This has all the elements of a classic Jim Lujan Ghettomation cartoon..nerds, strippers, bouncers, pawn shops, a theme song sung by Nissim....what more could anyone want? It's the story of a desperate strip bar patron and his undying love for a dancer named Roxy. This cartoon was animated using After Effects. I recorded two theme songs for this one, choosing Nissim's version as the final. So seedy, so durrty. Dig it. Great job, Nissim.  And yes, that bouncer is modeled after street fighter Kimbo Slice. No real reason, just feelin' kinda Kimbo that day.

ART FROM COME TO DADDY:

The very classy STRIP CITY. Guess what they serve there...that's right, Sparky; Strippers.
You must never fall in love with the dancer. That is the first rule of the creepy strip bar patron manual.
Prince isn't the only entertainer skilled in the art of high heel acrobatics.
Strip bar cameos: My buddies Nissim, George, and Cousin Mike. Class acts.
The pawn shop owner. I don't think I gave her a name, but I DID give her a mullet.

Breaking news from Ghettomation-Land! I'm currently working on a deal that will revive both the Bench Warrant and Ghettomation Garden DVDs back to life. That's right. Currently out of print and sold out, this new deal will make both avaialble here at Jim Lujan.Com soon. Stay tuned for details!  Also- I'm going to be announcing my brand new DVD in the upcoming week, so look out for that. I'll be putting together a package deal for all 4 of my DVDs. Oh can you just feel the excitement? Do you have the tingles?
