    I began making Flash Animation for JackOLantern.ORG in 2000. Mark Harvey and I recorded a bunch of Halloween songs that we created in Mark’s studio, and then I’d do my best to animate them. At the time, there was very little like it on the net. Flash loaded really fast. It was a great way…

    I’d like to thank Buildbox for including me (and Wiggly Loaf’s butt) in your latest video intro. I’m the Brady kid, top middle of the grid at 00:23. That’s me! I’m at my computer updating the Wiggly Loaf video game using the game engine I adore, Buildbox. Being a subscriber to Buildbox has allowed me to…

    Indie Video Games by J.E.Moores for Android and iOS: During all my years in art school I learned a lot of rules. Color theory, proper primers and gesso for different types of paint.

I decided to make a series of video games inspired by art history hoping others could see what I love.…

    The President and I are having trouble getting our wall built. A few weeks after publishing the app, the team at iOS rejected my Trumpty Dumpty Wall video game for being offensive. The game has no nudity, profanity, or obscenity, but without a doubt, it is a type of political cartoon. I think they are…
