It’s no secret making awesome Flash cartoons will develop your physique like nobody’s business, as filmmaker Joel Trussell proves in this photo. Go, Joel! Here he is with two Channel Frederator certificates for jobs well done, for “Float (My Electric Stargirl)” and “War Photographer” (we owe him a third for “Paris is On”). The latter won Best Music Video and Producers’ Choice prizes at the first-ever Channel Frederator Awards. Thank for the picture, Joel. A pair athletic socks is in the mail.
