Director Biography - Joe Coen

I'm a bit of a lone wolf, a one man band, a one lone wolf man band. As the conceiver, creator and guy who throws it all together, my goal is to make cheap, entertaining cartoons using found material and material at hand: my original art, a scanner, a computer, and public domain images, music, and sound effects.

I have also two graphic novels under my ever expanding belt. I may have to cut back on the cheeseburgers.

Director Statement

I've always admired political cartoonists. Consider this an attempt to adapt that art form into the digital age, adding motion and animation. I pull from many sources for my drawings: the psychedelic works of Peter Max, Heinz Edelman, just to name a few. My animation style is inspired by Terry Gilliam's cut out animations, the classic Warner Brothers Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner cartoons and the sheer anarchy and mayhem of Tex Avery shorts.
