So this is the first big thing I've tackled since I told the pedal industry to bite my ball bag:
I directed, designed, scored, illustrated... what else is there? Everything but the motion and the sound effects. Anyway, Here's hoping this will be a decent piece in my portfolio to get me into the animation program at college!

I like it, Ben.
Dwarfcraft wrote: We have some big news. Both Ben and I (Louise) have had some incredible opportunities come up in the last few weeks/months. Ben is back in school for art and I just landed my dream job. We have been doing the pedal thing for so many years but it is time to take a break to try something new. This happens to be good timing due to the pandemic but it is something we have been working on for over six months.
We want to thank you all for the last 13 years. It has been a dream. We have met some of our musical heroes and some of our very favorite people (YOU GUYS KNOW WHO YOU ARE!). We need a break and some new perspective. Between our creative projects, our teenagers, and our new opportunities, we are so excited for the next stage.
Since we are all on lockdown, we won’t have a last day or anything concrete. We will continue to repair pedals under warranty for the next few months so send an email if you need anything. Our website will stay up and the email addresses will stay active so we aren’t disappearing. We aren’t even sure this will be permanent. For now, it is a hiatus for the next several months.
​
We will have one more batch of Grazers and one more VERY special batch of Eau Claire Thunders. We have very few pedals left at the moment (we have been planning for this for a while so our stock is purposely low), so if you want something, buy it now.

Y'all!
I did a lil podcast, mostly about Ghost in the Shell and Angel's Egg, but also some tidbits about my cartoons and my time in pedals. If you like the movies, Wrong Reel is a good podcast! http://wrongreel.com/podcast/wr534-mam ... amin-hinz/
