Jay has been making amazing handscreened shirts for The Groon Show. Each one is unique and awesome!
Jay also made a bunch of broccoli on chains. Jack has been wearing one around town and getting all kinds of attention.
“Is that broccoli?”
“Why, yes! Yes, I’m wearing a broccoli on a chain.”
Here we have Papa Groon and Mama Groon keeping their Baby Groon quiet with the broccoli on a chain. It works! 🥦
On October of 2000 Jay E Moores and Mark Harvey of Rain Station released a Halloween party album (or music to bop along to while waiting in line at a haunted attraction). Jay made animations for each of the 13 songs at JackOLantern.org 🎃 Children of all ages grew up watching them year after year. Dark Ride by Rain Station is now a Halloween classic.
To celebrate 25 years of Dark Ride, Robert Whittington (FIDreams) created this animated tribute to kick off the season.

Moon Stars Sun is about the human experience of looking up at the sky and gazing at the infinity above us, wondering who we are, and where we belong in the universe. There is so much displacement of refugees and families fleeing their homes, fearing for their lives due to war and conflicts, who find themselves with their children homeless, with no roofs over their heads, and the only home they have is the vastness of the universe.
