Babyfood (2002)

This is a 45 second morality play in the form of a hand-drawn animation made during my first or second year at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston (all the way back in 2002!) Sound on for the real T. (Special thanks to legend Tony Flackett for getting me this clip which I thought had been lost forever!)
TW: gun violence, animal abuse

[@craigblyth]

Literally only Katya could upload this completely out of the blue without me thinking their account had been hacked!

[@sydneyp7867]

Real ones have been waiting on this psychotic art film nonsense for years

[@ellellio]

Only Katya could come back to her UA-cam channel by posting one of her old student art films. A welcome return! If this is a sign of more to come, please know I’ll literally watch anything you create lol

[@Zoeywubsyou]

Katya is brilliant and eccentric. She's an artist. She has my heart. Make more art!

[@nickc3657]

Katya solving the baby formula shortage herself! Selfless queen ✨

[@manda_musings8459]

😅😅😅

[@rainbowpaillettes8404]

😂😂😂😂

[@MuneCharbon]

I’m screaming.

[@DoubleM515]

My college animation teacher gave me crap for animating a woman smoking, he would’ve gotten a real tickle out of this

[@bunnyw1fe]

for it being inappropriate or bad animation

[@JC-yy8iv]

@@dd4850 I think the question referred to why the hassle over a woman smoking

[@-VoDkAsVengeance-]

@@JC-yy8iv No, they were asking in response to "he would've gotten a real tickle out of this."

[@ankurprabodhan6085]

Katya would thrive as a horror film writer / director! Simple, to the point and absolutely horrific, but also layered. Bravo!

[@evelynoyarzo6572]

We need more art school projects!

[@PumpkinPails]

This is very much that Newgrounds, Salad Fingers level of disturbing that formed my entire personality and I love every second of it.

[@barbiegirl985]

everything makes sense now

[@vivianjule]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST MORE COLLEGE ART VIDEOS LIKE THE ONES FROM YOUR ARTIST TALK

[@worktvk]

🖤

[@abbyt8898]

artist talk?? where can i find that?

[@vivianjule]

@@abbyt8898 Unfortunately it wasn't something that was recorded, it was a small in person event

[@MooMooFutch]

Thank you for sharing this Katya. More school art projects please!!

[@caranook]

I am so unbelievably unsurprised that Katya made this! 💀

[@whateverlanawants]

This is the most Katya thing I’ve ever seen and I love it

[@SophhpoS30]

Apparently a simple animation, yet it delivers so many emotions 😮 and has a great impact. Love it

[@hamsterstyle6152]

The way I started the video thinking it was cute and slowly realized “oh this is pretty f*cked up” 10/10, I love your art style :)

[@Mysanthropiya]

Brilliant and absolutely unsettling. This gives me salad finger vibes

[@angelsnaiilz]

this exactly! i seriously think she would have fit right in to that side of youtube if this was a series, which means even if brian never created katya, i would have still encountered his art online.

[@TheOnlyElle.]

Salad Fingers is totally freaky..and that Voice is so unerving..I Love it!!!

[@garbagebitch69]

I thought the same thing!

[@ariellovato1449]

Truly moving piece of art. I heard Walt Disney crying in the ladies room

[@TheOnlyElle.]

Katya Actually uploaded to her own channel??! EPIC! And I actually liked the short..that innocent giggle at the end, just as someone got their face smashed in was a fantastic touch 😂😂💜 Well done! I wonder how a Shrink would "interpret" this vid?? 🎶unresolved frustrations 🎶

[@HappyNarrative]

I have been waiting for this since the High School Episodes. Thank you for feeding us, Mother. 😍

[@gothicxromantic]

This channel is such a fever dream… I love everything about it

[@echoedeangelo19]

Nurse!, They let her on the computer again

[@DaddyDiarrhea]

A masterpiece was made the year I was born

[@laurenburghard5507]

I just love this beautiful human so much for existing

[@takethebox.06]

this is gorgeous!

[@ennuibarbie]

thank you for sharing!! i love seeing your art

[@SimplyDivineTV14]

i am so obsessedd with this katya, oh my word i’m glad it was was found!!!

[@jennystewart6194]

i am obsessed with your mind and everything that comes out of it

[@valentinagarciaacosta9290]

Omg finallyyyy I’ve wanted to see his art school projects for so long 😭😭😭

[@NeoStef]

I love the message of your animation. It would be amazing to see more content like this in the future. ♡

[@amygdala9679]

Now this is the content we've all been waiting for

[@friedlchicken]

love it!!!!!!!!!! the facial expressions have to be my favourite parts it really elevates the unsettling atmosphere here :DD

[@AlvaroLeoncio]

The contemporary artist we need

[@yummy_yummy7224]

Just no words… You truly left me speechless

[@barrybeez]

Excellent film! Thank you for sharing it with me xxxx

[@angelsnaiilz]

[@shareiceclick]

Such a short clip filled with so many emotions and a very cool message. 🖤🖤

[@greentape7817]

as someone who was in art school in 2002, this really hits. bravo!

[@_grunge.dad_]

The amount of joy I got from seeing that Katya was the one who uploaded this ✨

[@athenaissortant6378]

that is so unhinged i love it

[@DanieAwesome]

Gives me David Firth vibes and I love it

[@Mezzy..]

Wow, this is incredibly dark for me. But Im impressed by her animation skills, Im in animation college and I couldn't recreate this. Plus fun fact she was 20 when she made this

[@t.brooks7602]

Welp, guess it's gonna be a Liquid Television night

[@Barec76]

This deserved an audience for sure

[@bernae1902]

Mawma, this is... art!

[@SleeplessEremite]

very excited to get a glimpse into your brain and artistic process

[@foster2095]

Very beautiful. Very powerful.

[@annacobb1140]

this vibe is wild

[@0mahami0]

warms my heart to know you have always been this way

[@forrest_ation]

Soothing thank you dear ❤️

[@mynameiskrysta]

Bones sticking out bo bones sticking out

[@maszlagma]

This looks something like a "David Firth" animation!

[@LostMyselfInDreams]

Watching this evoked many emotions. Which ones? Yea.

[@12Tecpatl]

you've always been a genius

[@kace6948]

i cried😢 masterpiece

[@flclhack]

babyfood walked so salad fingers could run

[@angelsnaiilz]

[@june9265]

[@jen9647]

That baby giggle is creepy AF 😂

[@DELANO..]

What an innocent and lovely animation!! how delightful.🤭

[@illmakeuhowell]

"We need to talk about Brian"

[@mishka5421]

now we get it you’ve been like this since childhood

[@manatsutp]

wait this is genuinely the most scary thing i’ve ever seen

[@evairywon]

didn’t realise i was subscribed until she posted this lmao

[@IDEKaaaaaaaagh]

I really need to see a reaction from Trixie.
In all seriousness though, it's so smooth? It'd be cool to know what program you used for it.

[@Wes_94]

It's giving David Firth! Iconic.

[@Tamarindayo]

i love this

[@hunterkelley335]

AMAZING

[@Capnbritish]

COME ON NEWGROUNDS!

[@glitchessence]

This is such an ominous ode to existentialism and the juxtaposition of nihilism and ubiquity. Genius.

[@ileanalam9290]

yes intro to animation... memories

[@ilovepiper666]

Such a delight watching this😍✨
But no seriously, Katya you're a bad shit crazy person 🤣🤌🏼

[@worktvk]

this explains so much

[@zuwufar]

can't believe this footage is older than me 😭

[@koysdo]

I like this and I would like to see more of this

[@itstubingtime]

Horrifying, thank you

[@pierogilover01]

finally we got to see Katyas student films they promised on unhhhh like 5 years ago lol

[@ArtichokeHunter]

ngl i thought this was David Firth's channel (you know, the Saladfingers guy) at first 'cause I'm also subscribed to that

[@zr3933]

This is what was in her safety deposit box

[@uuuuuuuuiiiiiii]

This is very salad fingers… like the mildly terrifying early flash videos we all knew and loved

[@mimalho]

2002 Katya was unwell

[@BushyHairedStranger]

Kitty Tummy is plump. Childs head is hollow

[@ghostangel333]

I am so disturbed by this

[@ExtremeObservations]

Clearly very inspired by David Lynch’s animations from that time. Love it.

[@stacin821]

2002! Seems like yesterday. It would have been interesting to meet Katya back then. Those were the days. Also, this video makes me feel conflicted & uncomfortable so all & all, I think it's a good thing.

[@Wynnsday]

yeah

[@caryllmatilac2614]

This is the backstory of Jimbo's salami monster.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

This is the moment… or was… two decades ago

[@bs5817]

i was curious about what she made in art school

[@tiredthesbian1731]

Yeah that checks out

[@komomn]

Well, that was something. Thank you mother

[@annecosta2599]

they talk about the effects of smoking but not the effects of quitting

[@Lepreas]

damn that cat getting it! jealous

[@JKumaD]

omg Katya was making Salad-fingers content in 2002

[@dont._.ask.]

I get it now

[@Christian-ql7uq]

This is giving very David Firth! I LIVE!

[@EasyCheesy233]

Plot twist it's just how her and Trixie met

[@SomeInterestingName]

bones stickin' out bo- bones stickin out

[@syd6800]

loves it

[@glitter1336]

Katya walked so Salad Fingers could run 👏😔✨

[@dayvidd]

yes please

[@Larucos]

Salad fingers could never

[@jelliiifiiish]

Thank you.
