Lots of little nows: A website name, the principle of film and animation, and a philosophy - all in one. My name is Mike Futcher, and the nows here are my art. I mesmerise you with my animated logo.

Or, if not, perhaps you will Download a Flash Player (click those bright blue words) so you may too enjoy this mesmeration. Most of the content of this site is in Flash, from the stylish and accomplished animation of the short films in the Flash Animation section, to the Galleries and Comics, taking this Flashy form so that it will be harder for you to steal those images. Though I have enjoyed the moments during which I was creating them, much of the purpose of lots of little nows is that I can exploit this pleasure of creating. Enjoy these pictures in the moments you see them, and then leave them where they lie.

I have tried to make all web-graphics small enough files that the tedious nows between pages stay short. During these nows, a hopefully small bi-product of the nows I have Intentionally created, you could amuse yourself by saying "lots of little nows" in a variety of silly voices.

Is it art? The answer is undoubtedly yes. If you ask whether it is fine art, I will answer "some is." Feel free to argue about this to your heart's content. This could be a good alternative to finding comedy voices for the syllables that name this site. A lot of nows land rather on the side of illustration.
