A new animated series I'm working on with my brothers.

Featuring:
Animation, lead writing, and some vocals by Eric Mesa
and
Writing and vocals by Daniel Mesa and Davie Mesa

I added a gallery with all of the screenshots I've posted to my blog from the production of Sugar. So feel free to check it out and get a glimpse into the production process. The link in the the navigation bar under "Galleries".

My second short film; it takes place in a Chilis-like restaurant.

Featuring textures on the ketchup, beer bottle, and coaster by Pete Trbovich.
