Our next IRL show is Saturday October 24th at @punchgallery in this year of 2026! Starts at 3pm and it is FREE. It’s a bit of a hike from Seattle, join us if you need a break from the city. Grab some apple cider. This is our 2nd show at Punch! Should be fun. Side note: I leave for Japan tomorrow, so things are going to be a little quiet for 2 weeks. Celebrating 20 years of marriage with @jessraephoenix in a new landscape! I’ll post stories from our trip on my @tomthinks yahoo thanks for enjoying my art! by @cartoonmesslive

Duck peeped @peepingjohn today on @officialofficehours using his trusty handycam, but was sadly overcome by audio quackback. by @cartoonmesslive

Back in 2019 I made @borbpaints and have streamed over 400 livestream episodes of his show on twitch.tv/tomthinks since. He’s a cute and gentle spirit. His animation rig happened accidentally while I was building a simple animation tool idea, and recently I combined it with our other @cartoonmesslive show layout. We actually have 4+ different shows. We are our own network 😂 I used to livestream 3-5 times a week, but took a break a year ago and haven’t had a schedule since. I think I should start scheduling some livestreams again so you can catch them! by @cartoonmesslive

I grabbed my dslr from 2009, took some shakey selfies and made this selfie puppet real quick because I am so hungry to make some quick dumb things. I think live digital puppets is more fun with cartoon characters, but I had an impulse and followed it. This is old tech mixed with old tech, which I adore. I’ve been super busy since March but starting to get some room to play again. Thanks for coming to our sold out show Seattle! I’ll try to post clips of that soon. Oh, hi I’m @tomthinks if you didn’t know me. This is my live animation channel @cartoonmesslive yahoo by @cartoonmesslive

This is how I advertise our next FREE show this Thursday at BUTT FEST: by recording a single take and forgetting to press record on the computer audio side of things and I have no time to fix it or make it cooler, but plz come to @veraproject Seattle to see art, music and us performing LIVE ANIMATION at 8pm! Whole thing is 6-9pm, August 6th! But yeah, enjoy this solitary, unadorned iPhone video of me doing my thing. taken in The Vera Project by @cartoonmesslive
