Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

At least they've got the weather for it.

Wayne Rooney speaking for the entire world on the half time show. "I thought it was crap."

Ann Droid is the hardest I've laughed all year. What a delight of a show.

Sad result, but on the upside Windows has added a rotate tool to Paint.
