"the type to get hurt, but that's the past tense"

I've been a hermit all week- stop-motion animating, designing, and growing my moody beard. I'll get back to posting more often next week, in the meantime thanks to everyone for their nice e-mails. If I haven't gotten back to you yet, I will before Monday.  

Also, is it bad that watching little Charles Hamilton hold his own against Serius Jones was just as inspirational to me as the entire inauguration day? I've watched the video enough times to teach a grad school course on it and I still get chills watching that split second when Hamilton decides to go in for his 2nd verse. 

Not that "Buddy Holly" and "Windowlicker" aren't two of my favorite videos ever, but let's keep it real.

The Pistol Youth video has gotten a few nice reviews around the internet:
Pitchfork, Videostatic, abduzeedo, Boards, idolator, and urban outfitters were all really generous, but my favorite thing so far is this comment:

Pistol Youth - In My Eyes

This is finally ready to see the light of day! A huge thanks to David Torno for his unbelievable fx work, Bjorn who donated his design skills to the title sequence, and Brad and the band, who somehow trusted me when I pitched this.
