Animated Squids

 

While many tend to their lenses and writing skills, my addiction at Squidoo has become my Squid Art. Although it adorns several lenses of mine, I'm proud to say that my creations have also found homes on many other lenses, some customized by request, and others used just as they were found! In keeping with the Squid Art tradition, this lens is devoted to the many animated squids that have popped up over time, and don't have a home on another Lens. Of course if you're looking for animated Squids, be sure to check the other Squid Art lenses. See any that you would like to use? Please see the copyright info at the bottom!

Thanks, and now on with the show!

    I have to bookmark this lens as it is just awesome and kept me smiling. Yes, these moved me. What kind of program do you use to create the animation? I sure would like to learn. What about writing a simple tutorial for starters.
