update on
​hell toupee
feature

Picture
I've been animating furiously (well maybe not furiously, I'm pretty happy) to turn my graphic novel Hell Toupee into a feature.  Early in January I previewed the first 27 minutes of it as a cliffhanger at the Hell's Kitchen NYC Festival and it won Best Animation.  Now it is 47 minutes long and the distributor wants it 70 minutes long.  I am expanding and deepening the story and I think improving it.  I am aiming to finish it by the end of 2020.  I will keep you updated here.  You can also see nearly daily updates on Facebook if you friend me.

The Dream hat
​ on Gumroad.com

The Dream Hat, Gene Hamm's first animated feature is now for sale on GumRoad.com.  In a village where everyone has lost the ability to dream, a little boy goes on a desparate journey to find the secret of The Dream Hat.
​
It is packaged with Gene's animated short Cook For Your Life.  Can the last three animals on the farm who haven't been eaten turn the farmer into a vegetarian before lunchtime.  Part comedy/part cooking show.

How To Caricature
​on airbnb

Gene Hamm's How To Caricature Is now an Online Experience at AirBnB.com  If you, or your family, friends, or co-workers are looking for a fun two hour class, animator Gene Hamm will show you how to exaggerate or bring out the features of a person in a simple cartoon.  He will make it fun and easy.  All you need is a pencil and a few sheets of copy paper.

During the online Zoom class, Gene will draw everyone and then email the drawings after the class,  And to keep it fair, you can draw as silly a caricature of Gene as you want.

Gene learned to draw caricatures down in Hollywood animation studios where the animators were always caricaturing each other.

The class makes a great birthday present, or part of a holiday party.  It also livens up some Zoom meetings.

Just click on How To Caricature.
