If you have the time...you must watch

The Murder of Lord Waterbook
by
Alexander Bubnov

I found this on www.drawn.ca

"Winner of Best Dramaturgy Award and 3rd-best-rating at the 2006 Open Russian Festival of Animated Film." Oh it's so good and so funny. The timing is slow paced and very different from today's awful barrage of hedache inducing films (ahem) but
you still get a great sense of humor out of all the characters and the story is fun and silly. Brilliant! Plus there are pauses!! And no annoying music over every single scene.

Hello feature animation peeps out there. Let's bring back some pauses and breathing room in our films. Come on!! Fight those executives tooth and nail for it! Please don't let them walk all over you...you don't deserve it!! Bake them some cookies and maybe they'll leave us artists alone for once.










Here are some original sketches...

Dancer

She was exhausted from a day of dancing. Her legs throbbed and her ankles ached. The performance was two days away. Another day of practice and she was almost ready...but not before rest and a smoothie.

My Mom


My Mom has discovered how great e-mail is and we have started e-mailing each other more often. She sent me this 2 weeks ago and the minute I read it I knew I wanted to post it. It's so beautiful and so "her". The last line kills me....it's such good timing and so funny. I don't know, maybe it's just me because I know her so well, but I was laughing so hard when I read it. I think it's so profound. By the way, Rachel is my twin sister, "Bobi" is my Grandmother and "Zaidi" is my Grandpops. And yes, I did get her permission to post this.

Hi Jeremy,
We've heard from Rachel a few times. Guess she's really enjoying the city. She's bringing me bagels. I heard the food there is fantastic! How is your work coming along? When are you drawing on the HP board? Hope you're staying healthy. Happy St.Patrick's Day on Sat. I'll drink to your health and peace of mind. I love you as always. Moma
P.S. come see our photos we had printed from the Digital camera. It's a year's worth. Zaidi has thumping on his left shoulder sometimes so I'm taking him to the heart dr. Bobi has swollen feet and legs.
Jeremy, please don't get old.
