Dancing Dan

Collection

Nikolina Petolas Art

Description

Sometimes I get ideas for animating characters — sort of like an animated portrait of a character, just something short, like showing a mannerism they have or some little quirk like this guy dancing — and I’ll just animate it, even though I have no idea what I’m going to do with it. The interesting thing about NFTs to me is that, since you can’t do a TV show that’s ten seconds long, and you can’t make a painting that moves on a canvas, NFTs could give people a platform to do just that. When I was starting out, experimenting around with animation, I thought about doing an animated short that was just a series of characters dancing -- like odd dances that I’ve observed. There was an animated short I had seen in a compilation that was just called “Walking” I think, and it was nothing but different people walking and it had been nominated for an Oscar. I wanted to do a similar thing but with dancing and record different music for it. I had started animating this guy back in the early 90s, who I had temporarily named Dancing Dan, inspired by the way I would see old people dancing on the Lawrence Welk show and at a VFW hall when I was a kid. I didn’t actually finish it until years later after I had done Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill. I guess I just couldn’t let it go. The music on here is me on the guitar, upright bass, and drums. As a special thank you, my first collector has the option of receiving a total of three different 1/1 physical sketches that are signed. - Mike Judge
