- (Danny sobbing) Oh my God, man.
(gentle music)
2022 was pretty much the worst year of my life.
The core of my art had become so rotten,
dude, like and I loved this thing
with all my heart for years.
And I started to hate my art. I wanted to kill my art.
And I almost did at one point.
You know, I almost did a lot of things.
I realized I had to escape all of it.
And for a week, I just like, sat there
and processed what just happened to me.
I woke up one morning
and just forced myself to pick up some crayons and draw,
and what came of it was messy and weird,
but it was fucking beautiful.
That was the first time in a long time
when I saw something that I created where I was like,
there's still new stuff to be discovered here,
if that makes sense.
The difference in this new chapter of my life,
I make art like my life depends on it,
because it actually does.
My soul would scream
if I was living a life where I'm not making art,
not spreading my message,
and not doing what I truly feel like
I was put on this earth to do.
And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Whoo. Oh my God.
Ugh. Every time, dude.
Ugh. My life's a movie.
(hands scuffling)
(gentle music)
All right, you're probably wondering what's going on.
Hi, I am Danny, aka Coolman. Nice to see you.
Maybe you know what I look like, maybe you don't.
It's been a weird past few months in my life.
I feel like I should probably share more with my audience
as to the human behind the Coolman Coffeedan Animations.
Hi, this is me. I'm real, I exist.
I have thoughts, feelings, and emotions,
and I go through shit just like all of you.
Here I am riding in my car with my pup-pup.
Hey, pup-pup. Yeah.
I have highs and lows, you know, particularly last year.
A few more lows than I would've liked,
but I figured why not share my life with more of you?
Hopefully the stuff that I go through
and the stuff that I'm thinking about could be of use,
whether you're a creative like me
or just trying to figure out your life,
like, also like me, I don't know.
So we're gonna give this whole Coolman video thing a shot.
I think it'd be pretty cool.
Watch these back when I'm old. When we're old.
When the internet is like a,
when like the world's a toxic wasteland
and the only things that aliens have to remember us by
is by Charlie Bit My Finger YouTube videos.
That's gonna be crazy.
Does anybody remember Charlie Bit My Finger?
Does that make me old?
(baby squeaking)
(screen beeping)
Watch, I crash head onto a semi-truck right now.
So obviously there's a lot going on in my life right now
as this random artist just bopping around the world.
And instead of me explaining
all the stories that are going on,
I figured why not just show you?
(upbeat music)
- This is your reminder
to stop having that fake argument in your head.
It'll probably never happen!
And there's much better things
to be using that beautiful brain for,
like daydreaming about kissing hotties!
(triumphant music)
Oh baby!
(upbeat music)
Yeah, yeah.
(upbeat music)
- All right, calm down, calm down.

Congrats.
- Cheers, man.
(explosion banging)
- On all your success over the past 10 years,
I must say it's an honor to even be here.
And the story of me seeing your street art
so long ago before I started animating,
the fact that we're doing this together,
is incredible.
- Brother, it means so much to me too, man.
I love you. It's awesome.

Cut.
I just painted that.
Hello, I just wanted to recap
this whole little vloggy-vlog real quick.
I mean, what an incredible past few months it's been,
obviously, as you just saw.
Let's just have fun, you know?
Let's have fun while we're young.
Stay tuned.
There's so many incredible things in my universe
coming your way.
Music, merch, meetups, parties, events.
I'll be coming to a city near you, perhaps.
I'm going worldwide, baby.
I just wanna do things that I enjoy doing and spread love,
and let everybody know that they are indeed special.
This is just the beginning of the new chapter,
and I can't wait to see where it goes with all of you.
I'll see you in the next one.
You're special. (smooching)
