"You Gonna Buy One or You Be One?"
Like one of those wondrous days of yore, back where I had nothing much to do beyond knocking back a few on a lazy afternoon, the past couple weeks have seen the release of a whole cache of brand new ANIMATED DRUNK POEMS, one after the other…so, in case you missed them, here’s a grip of them gathered here for your viewing pleasure!
Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t shout out Loulie Bouler and Site 30 Studios — who both continue to help make the animations possible. Big love to you all!

Dublin, Peru
The animated drunk poems march on!
For anyone who doesn’t follow us over on YouTube or on Vimeo, we launched a couple new drunk poem animations. In fact, the next few weeks will see a smattering of new animations land, so keep an eye out for them!
As for the recent batch: First, we visit The Abbey Theater in Dublin…
…and then, like a fool, we don’t visit Peru…

THIRST on YouTube
Three sheets…
So, my kiddo convinced me to start putting all the ANIMATED DRUNK POEMS up at YouTube (not just Vimeo), and I have to say, it’s been a much better experience than I remember. I have vague memories of struggling to get things to work, and the overall experience not really feeling efficient…but I am happy to say that it is no longer that way! In fact, I think it’s probably easier than putting stuff up at Vimeo.
Every few days one of the animations is being added…so if YouTube is your video spot fo choice, most of the DRUNK POEM ANIMATIONS should soon be there for your viewing pleasure. And starting on October 22nd, there’ll be some new ones launching, so if you haven’t seen them all, now’s your chance to catch up!
The kiddo also reminded me that we live in a brave new world, one where you can watch the drunk poems via the YouTube or Vimeo apps on your smart TVs, so “like & subscribe” as the kids do say…or just turn them on with a cold one, because here at DrunkSkull HQ you never need to drink alone!

10 Years of THIRST...
The CLAMSHELL EDITION with FLASK
Ten years.
Ten unbelievably amazing years.
I honestly can’t even wrap my head around it.
Everything about this book has been pure magic from the beginning. The 5 week flood of first drafts. The birth of the DrunkSkull. The limited edition hardbacks that came with a flask! People the world over wearing T-shirts, sticking stickers.
Things like this just don’t happen that often.
And then there’s the AUDIOBOOK.
People the world over recording poems, sending them across the ether. Voices, accents, laughter…pure magic.

The AUDIOBOOK
And now…the ANIMATED DRUNK POEMS. People the world over animating those drunk poems — in claymation, rotoscope, collage, and traditional 2D animation…and who knows what else will happen!
It’s been an honor and a privilege and I have each and every one of you to thank. You’ve made the book a success, and the experience an utter joy.
Magic, I say, pure magic…from the beginning to exactly this moment, and even beyond.
Over the next decade or so, I’m hoping to finish all the animations — because when you’ve got the magic, you need to honor it. And so I will. I’ll keep pushing…keep working…and if you’re interested in being part of the continued push, part of the next 10 years, then click below…

CHINESE GUCCI COLLAGEThe Chinese Gucci Collage-Cover Hardbacks were one of the most rewarding artistic experiences I’ve yet had, and I’ve finally gathered some of the recorded pieces in one spot, for your viewing pleasure.
It starts off with the “making of” mini-doc, followed by the Art of Chinese Gucci promo before it delves a touch deeper into the videos of 6 actual covers as they were made.
And, as I have been a bit down in the maw artistically, it is a powerful reminder of just how important making art is to me. Hopefully that portends a return to the salad days of yesteryear!

Wraith...
Happy to help out on a new track for my old poetry compadre, Christopher Cunningham’s new music project titled IN SEARCH OF. It’s a track called WRAITH, about the loss of a close friend 25 years ago, and how our own grieving brains can pull mighty tricks on us. It’s always tough to revisit this day, and the loss, but as an artist himself, I’m sure my friend Roybal would be doing and making things today if he could, so it’s the right thing to do with the complicated feelings. Give it a listen if it sounds like you might get something from it!
