Happy holidays everyone! I don't actually have any sort of gift to give of my own, BUT while looking for interesting things relating to my interests online a week ago, battling every search engine there is and discovering that ALL of them are now complete garbage, I found a creator that makes SUPER fun stuff and waited until today to share some links with y'all.
He makes all sorts of super fun and cartoony animations, illustrations, and comics and has also made a couple of cartoony animated shorts! Please note, this creator is not a kink artist in any way. You might find some of his content interesting in that way (there are some fun boob jokes) but be mature and don't bother him with that stuff. Honestly his art and characters are really just supremely fun and goofy and enjoyable =u= ...so without further ado, some links beyond the cut:
First, the main link and where you can find the vast majority of his work, Dan Variano's own tumblr:
https://danvariano.tumblr.com/
I've been looking through this tumblr for a week now and there's a really long history of posts that goes back for years and years (All the way back to his inaugural "moving to tumblr" post on Dec 31st 2012, though there's at least one animation here that was itself created in 2011)! I have yet to reach the bottom of this tumblr well of mirth and frivolity. The sheer TONNAGE of lovingly crafted silly artwork here is unbelievable!
On January 8th 2017 he released his first animated short (16 minutes long!!!) which can be found on his Vimeo which I will link here: https://vimeo.com/danvariano
And the short in question, Kouka & Bibi (who wants to guess which of the pair I relate to the most?) I'll link here:
It is an absolute travesty that this short has only 5,510 views XnX
On September 1st of 2019 he released his second short, Running Late:
And then from September 5th 2020, there's the bite size, Chelsea Butts In, which is a remake of one of his older tumblr animations now with audio:
I have to reiterate that his tumblr has a WEALTH of fun comics and illustrations and little gif animations which are every bit as enjoyable as the animations linked above. It's totally worth a look. Anyway, hope y'all enjoy this find. Happy holidays and may you have an excellent new year! <3
