Take a trip back with me to one of my earliest animations and the origins of my favorite character – CLAYMAN!

This is his first cartoon of a series. One day I plan on revisiting him and doing him right, now that I know a bit more about animation. Still I love this one for it’s amateur aesthetic… call me nostalgic…. and excuse the audio issues.

Enjoy!

Enjoy and thanks for watching!
