Don't mock him for his clothes allergy, its a serious condition. He also makes comics, though the one I read was PURE FILTH.

You just think that because of how the elephant reacted to the ice cream in the best scene ever.

Even the ice-cream is filthy!

Ironically, this thread just the broke the record for consecutive comments without one from The Whelk. Is he okay? Has anybody tried MeMailing him?!

More than two months after His Whelkness posted it to Projects? He's probably forgotten he did it, having accomplished 47 other things in the days since... including overcoming his clothes allergy. So add "Cleans Up Well" to his long list of credits. (Also "Bagel Connoisseur", but that's story for another place)

To be honest, this is kind of what I imagined The Whelk did when he was just hanging out. I suspect that the alleged "music video" is just incidental.

I suspect that the alleged "music video" is just incidental. One of his friends just happened to have a camera with them. Another friend said, "Hey, this would work well with a song I wrote!" It was pure kismet.

One of his friends just happened to have a camera with them. Another friend said, "Hey, this would work well with a song I wrote!" It was pure kismet. I wish. I'd like the two months searching for a decent studio to shoot in back. So yeah! Excited to see this here, it took months to put together but I wanted to prove I could produce something slightly more ambitious than 3 minute comedy skits. I wanna want ot thank my DP Keith Jensen/Brainwomb, he was so tolerant of me going " the thing with the focus where its blurry." "Focal length?" "Yes! and gesturing at bounce lamps and the like. The guy knows his color and is willing to film while hanging upside down on a ladder. Also! Hermitosis got me in contact with Iris Explosion who gave great face and he helped with some of the Tarot imagery along with Katelan. I was inspired by the two-years in the making stop-motion music video for another of Kim's songs I Have Your heart . It's freaking beautiful. I'll ask Kim about the Chords!

I thought his shirt allergy just meant he was a werewolf. Does he respect all international borders and boundaries? Does he dig dreamcatchers?

I'd like the two months searching for a decent studio to shoot in back. The Whelk's so mean, he'd shoot a month in the back.

The Whelk-y is so mean he once shot a month in the back, just to watch it die.
