The-Swain aka Michael Swain is a popular Newgrounds flash artist who is responsible for the Blockhead series, the Mastermind series and the Time Squad trilogy. He's recently known for helping Krinkels to create Madness: Project Nexus and it's Steam remake. He is also helped develop Fulpstation, a server on Space Station 13.
Early days[]
Swain started learning how to flash dance around August of ’05 after being inspired by David Firth's “Burnt Face Man” series[1] and in September released his first flash movie, Blockhead Episode 1 .
The rapid releases in Blockhead's early days were in part made possible by the flexible schedule Swain had as a graduate student at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Michael Swain has graduated and moved to Philadelphia.
Style[]
The Swain is known for his situational and “random” humor as well as his unrecycled fbf. When animating he favors the brush tool and Wacom Cintiq.
