Pep talk

The Sound of Young America


Merlin Mann gave the talk embedded above at maximumfun.org's MaxFunCon for Jesse Thorn's awesome radio show/podcast "The Sound of Young America." You can and should subscribe to that through itunes, he's the best interviewer around. Merlin Mann gives a talk about the process of getting started on creative work and all the bullshit barriers you can put up for yourself. I think he nails it. I know I have every bad habit he talks about. If I manage to absorb his lessons, expect more and better films from me. The Sound of Young America also had Bill Withers on recently (I had no idea who he was but mean to buy all his music now) and that was pretty fucking awesome, too.

Happy Valentine's day, everyone. Trying to create a tradition begun with last year's The Loveliest Thing, I've animated another cartoon for this, the holiest of holidays. It's called You Are Loved. To see it bigger, run over to youtube here (please click watch in high quality just under the player). Send it to someone you love and remember there's all this fuss about Santa Claus but Cupid will not be defeated.

Composed, performed and animated by Arthur Metcalf
