Sparky’s World
Sparky's World, composed entirely in Flash, is an animation covering the everyday life of Sparky, the UIC mascot. Ten years ago, Sparky dropped out of college to become a professional basketball player. Soon into his career, he was injured and was left with no chance at obtaining his dreams. Realizing his glory days are over, Sparky must now go through college not as a celebrity, but as a regular nobody…just like everyone else.
