2D Animation

I’m building my first 2D animation team!  With the music completed, it’s now time to introduce Stanley and Friends to the world of animation.

Each animation will each be approximately 3 to 5 minutes long.  Working our way up to half hour episodes, then feature films (further down the road).  But I’d like to keep traditional animation alive as much as I can, with a little twist.  All of our animations will be created by way of what I like to call Digial Cell Animation.  Where each frame is hand drawn (like the masters did back in the day), just on the computer.

Coloring With Jeff

Coloring with Jeff is a weekly LIVE web series where I bring black and white artwork to life, just by adding color to them using markers.  Yes, MARKERS!  Each week I color a different black and white ARToon (artwork) from start to finish, showing you coloring tricks with markers and having some fun!

The newest season of Coloring with Jeff starts back up in the Spring (2025).  You can watch the episodes LIVE on my Facebook page or subscribe and watch on my YouTube Channel.

Jeff Balke Comics

In addition to creating animation, we’re also creating all-ages kids comic and books using our own stories and characters such as Stanley and Friends and soon, introducing our very own Fairytale Land.
