Eat PES and smile

Wanted to share the work of this artist/animator. His work seems particularly relevant to recent discussions regarding narrative, "moving pictures," and using found objects. He excels in these areas. I really admire his creativity and innovation -- very imaginative, but extremely low-tech (mostly just standard stop-motion technique in building his films).

This is one of his photos, a model based on the classic video game, "Frogger." His short films are a lot of fun. One minor disclaimer: his work is definitely a little twisted and just a tiny bit graphic (I'm sure you can handle it).

A short bio:

Animation wizard PES has been called a "master storyteller" with a "glittering imagination." He has created some of the most talked about short films on the Internet, including "Roof Sex" (XXX Chair-on-Chair action!!!) and "KaBoom!" (A war film created entirely with household objects).

PES's website EatPES.com receives a million hits a month and his short content is licensed around the world for theatrical, internet, television, and mobile phone.

PES's films and photography have been featured in Black Book, Punk Planet, Time Out, Dazed and Confused, RES magazine, and Screen International. He recently shot commercials for Diesel, Bacardi and Coinstar.

PES is based in Harlem, New York.
