“Real Artists” by Tim Bierbaum

Here’s the pilot for animator Tim Bierbaum’s new mixed-media web series about young artsy types living in New York City: Real Artists. Bizarre looking characters, live action backdrops, hand-held shakey cam, teen angst… it has an MTV Animation vibe written all over it. And yet I find it oddly appealing – and worth a look.

The show is part of Ashton Kutcher’s Dream Bigger program, produced for the Thrash Lab You Tube network.
