The Man Who Bled Roses

The Man Who Bled Roses
A web comic and animation about the strange curses of the city.

The Man Who Bled Roses is an independent animated film that was, regrettably, totally destroyed in a fire a few years ago in 2006. The original film has been lost but not forgotten.

Today, I'm in the in the very early stages of re-assembling the entire project. Currently, I'm in a second pre-production phase as I re-draw several scenes and re-digitize them.

The story follows a grown-up version of Charlie Brown as he bumbles around working in Corporate America and falling in love with a beautiful young woman. This woman has absolutely no interest in him unaware of his affection.

After visiting a strange flower store in a lame attempt to impress his love, The Man inexplicably begins to sprout roses, thorns and vines from his skin pores.

When I get some more of this film re-constructed I'll post some images and clips.

Some re-constructed production art of more characters. These zombie characters are exaggerated versions of the Man's co-workers who appear to him as nightmarish caricatures - evil-minded zombies that block him from the Pretty Woman he has become infatuated with. Working at a colossal corporation finding his office and cubicle in a murky, unhappy way. The Man Who Bled Roses character is a real square - a nebbish nerd who falls for a pretty young muchacha. The character has always reminded me of Pugsly Addams or Charlie Brown if Mr. Tim Burton imagined them. Copy code to add Puppets to your site: Copy code to add Roaches to your site:

She was so close, but just out of reach.

The love interest, The Very Pretty Woman is a bit off-put by our hero. The Pretty Woman character is another sensitive person, like The Man, who is lost in a dimly lit maze of angry, confused people. If the poor dweeb just got it together enough they would really get along! Unfortunately for The Man, he doesn't ever have it quite together enough.
