A studio for people who want their music to feel alive.
The Homer-grunge series cracked the algorithm — but the goal was always to put that same energy behind newer bands, original characters, and weirder ideas. That's what this studio is for.
Who this is for
A great fit
- You're a band, label, or indie artist who needs a visual that travels
- You want something hand-drawn, not another AI slideshow
- You like the Plonsky / grunge cartoon vibe and want a piece of it
- You're cool moving fast — most reels ship in a week
Not the right fit
Probably not for you
- Generic corporate explainer videos
- Stock-template motion graphics
- Anything that needs photoreal 3D
- Hyper-polished agency-style brand films
The Approach
Cartoons, but with attitude.
The visual language is grunge, scrappy and unmistakable — modern animation that feels like it was made by a fan, not a factory.
Built for the scroll
Every reel is paced for vertical, sound-on viewing — built to stop a thumb mid-flick.
Hand-drawn, every frame
No AI tweening, no stock rigs. Real ink, real motion, real character.
Made for your sound
Cuts, beats, lip-sync — animated to your track, not pasted over it.
Services
Pick the format that fits your launch.
From a single 10-second Homer reel to a full animated music video — every commission starts with a quick scoping call.

About
I'm A.J. — the animator behind the reels.
I'm best known for the Homer-Simpson-grunge series that's been quietly taking over Instagram and TikTok. Now I'm opening commissions to do the same thing for newer bands, original characters, and weirder ideas than another Nirvana cover.
If you've got a song you want animated, this is the studio for it.
Commissions
Let's animate your track.
Send an email or slide into the DMs with the song, the format you want, and roughly when you need it. Most reels go out within a week.
