Stop motion animation and webcomic

On March 6, 2008 Jon became the first "featured animator" on MyToons.com, a YouTube-styled website specifically geared for 2-D and 3-D animation, with a stop motion animation parody of Jimi Hendrix' key performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The animated piece features a fictional character named Jimi Homeless who first appeared in a series of webcomics published as The Jimi Homeless Experience (webcomic). The webcomics are written by Jon Kinyon and drawn by an underground cartoonist known as Big Tasty. The stop motion animation was a collaboration with Josh Curtis, the singer for the related band project, who molded the clay version of Jimi Homeless.
