Animator David Essman teamed up with political satirist Ted Rall at the beginning of 2009 and have cranked out an impressive series of shorts through their web channel on Youtube. David has been a HUGE champion of the Animation Show over the years with everything from film research to on-the-ground help in Chicago and Florida. Hit up his personal Youtube channel for a peak at more of his work. I was a big fan of “The Ugly Turkey” when David had shared it back in 2006 and it's cool to see his style shift and evolve. We’re continuing the conversation in our newly (nearly finished) refurbished forums.
