Welcome to Cartoon Mess LIVE! Enjoy our live-animated puppetry streams with Duck, Grandma, Borb and Tom! You'll find yourself asking "How is this even live??"
Welcome to **Cartoon MESS *LIVE!*** We are a *slightly* different kind of Twitch channel! We have a variety of shows starring several messy friends: **Duck, Borb, Grandma** and well, **Tom** (the human). Join us for **live-animated** painting, poetry, raps, DoritosChips, songs... or perhaps a freakout??
**Cartoon Mess *LIVE!*** is created and performed by [Tom DesLongchamp](https://www.tomdeslongchamp.com/about). Tom is an artist/animator in Seattle. He studied animation at Rhode Island School of Design.
**LIVE** camera switching, character performances, art creation and responding to chat? How does Tom manage it all at once?!
With the help of **BWUTTONS** (buttons)! Tom built his own custom live-animation system with **Adobe Animate** and **Actionscript 3.0**. The animation system is used as an input in his **VMIX/OBS** templates, and pre-made animations are triggered by key presses.
Tom doesn't use any audio or face-rig automations.
