Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
Way back when, in the days when MTV still showed music videos, it also showed a lot of stuff from new and non-mainstream animators as filler and sometimes programming.

Thick sheets of paper in exquisite arrangement represent the two men who are linked by their identical birthmarks, yet cannot seem to look at each other. —- Maureen Selwood
