Artcow RG Jubilee / Rosalie Graziano - Artcow, Batshit Christian, Obsessed with Animatronics

[Eddie Dingle]

Rosalie Graziano / "RG Jubilee" is not just an elderly, possibly mentally disabled, retired, Christian woman with a YouTube channel. She's an elderly, possibly mentally disabled, retired Christian woman with a YouTube channel who's devoted her life to her bizarre, deeply unsettling obsession with animation.
Allow her to introduce herself.

She currently has more uploaded videos (179) than subscribers (141) and despite the staggering amount of time and effort she's spent over the last few decades on her nightmarish creations she remains in obscurity.

A crude Claymation from 1991, ending in a finale of cackling and crushing the clay figures.
She also seems to believe herself to be a professional and famous animator, with the authority to give others advice and turn her friends' artistic endeavors into hellscapes.

She also uses her platform to incoherently spread her opinions on religion, terrorism, and abortion. For example, this which she displayed at her "art shows":

Not sure if this counts as a cow, but certainly an entertaining individual.

Someone get Jenn in here. They seem like kindered spirits

From her Facebook

Wearing some kind of homemade frog medallion.
Not much public information about her, but she proudly posts her YouTube videos for her few friends, including her pastor. She just seems like a harmless but entertaining woman-child. At least she seems happy, and puts genuine effort into her strange fantasy world.

Sounds like a proto Shmorky. Less artistic but also less autistic. Not as fun as I thought and seems pretty harmless, at least so far.

I saw this video last week. It baffled and slightly horrified me. I was pretty curious where it came from.

Surprised and excited to see this thread. Great find, OP.

Just found out about her. Man this is fascinating, any way I can find more info about her?

So I guess this is what will happen to @Rolfe DeWolfe a few decades from now.

I think it's worth bumping the thread just to say that this lady has been posting videos as recently as last month.

Spoiler: Recent Videos

I first learned about her from a post on pilotredsun's tumblr. Here's an interesting tidbit:

the lady who runs that channel you were talking about has a couple of videos where she talks about wanting to raise money to build a complex in florida for her animatronics which are implanted with 'the brain of god'

She's obviously very mentally ill, but has some genuine talent. Here's a video of her putting together an animatronic she practically built by herself (audio is very poor in the beginning). The head is made out of plastic bins and a jar lid. Her house is full of creepy dolls and kitsch.

Spoiler

She might be worth looking into, if someone can stand trudging through unncanny valley long to find anything interesting.

If im not mistaken she does all her own music too. her drawn animations are especially stuttery like a storyboard. the fluidity of movement is not there. That being said, its still amazing how much work she does alone. consider something like Froggy 2000. Every little piece that makes up that several part series is drawn, composed and voice acted by her and her alone. She seems to be on the spectrum but shes producing more than most people and im really impressed. Im pretty shes aware of her surreal creepiness. i dont know what makes me assume that, but it seems she has knack for grabbing attention even if you are about to nope out of whats happening.

Little article about her.

The arts bring the brain to life - Senior Life - August 2016 - Florida

Though the production of art or music won’t cure a disability such as Alzheimer’s, it may help the artist both on a social level and help them bypass areas affected by disease, tapping into new or undamaged areas of the brain.

"As Graziano’s art helped her feel better about herself and more included socially, it also may be a process that helps her leap frog over her cognitive disability and make new connections in her brain."
