Adult Swim

Creative Direction and animation for Adult Swim's, Off the Air.

Off the Air is a psychedelic anthology television series. The series is presented without explanation or narrative as a showcase of shorts arranged around a single loose theme which is the episodes title. I was asked to create a short for season 13 and chose the episode Sex.
