In order to fully grasp your own identity or persona, you must break through a barrier, and boldly confront yourself! Grab yourself and don't let go. Ultimately, you will be in peachful union with your own self. Also, it helps if you have rubber hose arms and legs.
I’ve always loved old cartoons from the 30’s, and I’ve always wanted to make a tribute to the rubber hose style of that era, which I'm happy to see popular with games like Cuphead and Bendy. “Find Yourself” is a short animation I drew over the course of a week, it explores a cycle of self discovery. In this story a Bendy type 1930's character smashes the ceiling, symbolizing the process of discovering something about yourself, and moving to the next level. I used this story device in a slightly different way when I made "Ithaca Shores" music video. I hope you enjoy this animated short.
This was originally made for the opening of a film festival, the first version included all the various sponsors of the fest, it played well, but that was that. So I wanted to re-configure it into something I could post on my channel. While putting this together, I got a few other ideas for this retro character, so perhaps I'll do another short with this guy.
The music is an excerpt from a 1930's era animated cartoon, which is in the public domain.
