I like this quote...



From Neil Gaiman ( creator of Coraline )

“Someone asked me last week if Coraline would be an appropriate film for their six-year-old son. I don’t know. That’s like asking me if their six-year-old would like mushroom soup. I don’t know the kid and so I have no idea what is appropriate for him.”





Brilliant!

Chieftains 2

I grew up listening to my Dad's Chieftains 2 cassette tape all the time. I think we even wore the tape out on long road trips. One of the songs was called 'Banish Misfortune'. So I youtubed the song and found this. I want to buy a tin whistle now. This guy is so good.

I didn't want to post this!!!

Ugh! I didn't want to post this....but what the hell, here ya go. My 2d animation reel I came out of Cal Arts with. It's wayyy too long and there are lots of mistakes and things I would never put on my demo reel today. But you live and learn...right? So please be kind. Also, a lot of this animation was done straight ahead. It took me awhile to get used to the pose to pose method...and I'm still learning.

I have so many other tests that never made it to this reel. One day, when I'm 75, I'll have to digitize them and put them on my invisible 3d hologram future watch. One day.....




By the way, the animated big Ogre in the short clip of " I have a cunning plan..." was inspired by the talented Dan Holland. He's now doing Visual Development at Pixar. I stole a drawing of a hand he drew out of his trash bin one day. It was for one of his films....it was beautiful! Ha! Hey Dan! Did I ever tell you that??
