I am sure it is starting to seem like I only blog about videos on YouTube. Of course, that is MOSTLY true, and YouTube just keeps getting and better. The next version of this site will have a section, like Links, dedicated just to external videos. For now, we’ll continue to have to deal with […]
Trey Parker and Matt Stone did something fantastically nerdy and extraordinary this week. They made machinima (the art of creating videos by using in-game avatars as actors) mainstream by dedicating the first episode of this season’s South Park to World of Warcraft addiction, and brilliantly acting out all of the main character in-game. As you […]

This French animated short film, Burning Safari, is pretty great. I don’t speak French, but it appears to be a piece from a student of the Gobelins school of art (is that a place?). It doesn’t matter, Monkeys vs. Robots, what more could you need?

Linklater, writer/director of the acclaimed Waking Life, uses a technique called rotoscoping, where the film is shot with real actors and then is made to look like excellent animation in […]
I’ve been drawing robots lately, of all shapes and sizes, on sticky notes, in red felt tip, like before. Of course, I don’t have a scanner here, so I can’t share them. Well, I’ll save them, and then maybe I’ll unload them all in one shot when I am back in NY. “The Dubai Robots” […]
Whoa. Absolutely the best new animated thing on TV is Adult Swim’s new Conan spoof, Korgoth of Barbaria. It’s created by a guy named Aaron Springer who was previously an artist on Spongebob. Episode 1 is up on TouTube right now, in 3 parts, but I doubt it will last very long. Have a look […]

Just in time to be shown for the opening of Cars, the teaser trailer for Pixar’s next blockbuster has hit the web. Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles and The Iron Giant (not Pixar), will direct Ratatouille, about a food-snob rat living in Paris. This trailer looks fantastic, and Pixar has proven time and again […]
