Arlo Sings the Blues (In the Middle of the Night)
Arlo is a delusional cat who loves to sing all night long.
Is he practicing or is he annoying?
Hmmm... I guess that depends on who you ask.
But this is Arlo's story.

R.J. Sullivan is an animator/filmmaker and musician who lives in Portland, OR, USA.
He graduated from Portland State University with a B.A. in Arts and Letters in 2004 and he loves salsa mixed with hummus.
I create animation and music for children (and adults). My short films are simple and humorous with themes that are childishly existential.
