# Missing blurb...


I am notoriously awful at describing my work and, for my art project, have to write a humourous/serious summary of three of my animations.

Could you lend an old b3tard a hand?

EDIT: these are the videos

(In exchange, I'll work really hard and get you a new animation by tomorrow)

I was largely entertained by her. It's a good series.

# What kind of blurb- funny or serious?
If you're not going for serious I'd say

'Gentle, evocative art for children and adults of all ages, expecially those with nervous dispositions'

Otherwise I'd go for

'The animated rantings of someone far saner than you can ever imagine.'

failing that:

'Man, he explode or go stabby stabby or both.'

# Deceptively simple line drawings
gracefully dance about your screen with, quite often, disturbing and hilarious outcomes.

Edit:
Tackling important health and safety issues that no workplace should ignore, these animations show you what to do (or not to do) in situations such as choking and electrocution. Not to mention what can happen when you've not been sufficiently trained on a, seemingly innocuous, piece of equipment.

So watch and find out what the rest of the internet already knows about Ross Butter. He's awesome!

"If you missed BBC4's jazz version of Timon of Athens, you are in danger of missing this as well. A selection of unimpeachably benign and efflorescent creations with all the sobriety of a dustman's wallet - you will light these up again and again in pursuit of the seemingly inhospitable. Much of this work remains unreconciled - do you dare tread in the footsteps of Butters?"

# If Carlsberg made animations...
...they'd be rubbish, because Carlsberg doesn't know how to make animations. Carlsberg doesn't even know how to make good beer, ffs!

Now take Ross Butter, he knows what he's doing. He's great. Therefore these animations are probably the best animations in the world.

Watch them, watch them now, or do something else.

Alternatively in terms of writing a summary with some large worded bollocks, how about these for some interesting shoes?:

The gentle ambiguity of slow tempo music plus the dramatic choking make first date a fine piece of darkly humourous animated stuff. A man whilst enjoying his food fails at first to notice his date's choking predicament.

A cleanly aerosol spraying bird is electrocuted whilst his friend attempts to help him.

A pogo stick is attempted to be ridden by someone with bloody results.
