Reception
[edit]Chiang Rai Times wrote, “One of the coolest scenes is when ‘The Tissue Man’ twerks with the cartoon tissue characters. It's so exciting, and silly, to have an artist of all trades in the entertainment industry who publicly identifies as gay in a judgmental world. Clever and very bold, a magical masterpiece of stimulating images.”[6]
FilmInk wrote, “Clark knows how to take the familiarity of real life issues, but make fun of them in a comical way. A vision of us seeing the bright side of the horrible pandemic that we experienced and we shouldn't take life so seriously all the time.”[3]
MetalSucks wrote, “The subject matter of this masterpiece is hilarious and it plays off the idea of tissue paper being misused during the season of the beginning of COVID-19.”[2]
1883 Magazine wrote, “‘GGST!’ is uniquely different compared to the past music (Inside of Me!, Video Game, and etc.) that he has created since 2019... Again the lyrics are playful and it makes a light out of people buying excessive amounts of tissue/toilet paper.”[1]
Accolades
[edit]GGST! was an official selection for the 2021 Prague Independent Film Festival and the 2021 Animaze Montreal International Film Festival.[12][7][13][14] The short film was a semi-finalist in the July 2021 Indie Short Fest.[15]
The animation was awarded a Semi-Finalist for the Best Experimental Music Video category at the 2022 Lonely Wolf Film Festival.[16][5]
