New old stuff

I've posted a couple of animations from the GreenPoint daze on my animation page. It's interesting looking at these things from a year or so down the line. I still am pretty pleased how quickly I cranked them out. The compliance piece I did in less than 3 days and I did the whole thing solo. Except the music; I can't claim the music. But it's also hard looking at them. I definitely see the warts and blemishes on these puppies. And, alas, it's sad to think of the work we were starting to do when they shut the doors. We had a great team and it's too bad that it had to end so abruptly just when we were starting to hit our stride.

This is the view from my spot of asphalt at the Fest. It's Friday and some folks have already started! Looking forward to it.

Crescent City, Seattle, Nome, Uncanny Valley and all points North.


I had no idea that there is an actual named phenomenon for the visceral negative reaction I had to those creepy freak-mouthed kids in Polar Express.

file under 'c' for creepy

The creepy children’s book My Beautiful Mommy (for plastic surgery victims…um…patients…to help guide their kids “…through Mommy's surgery and healing process in a friendly, nonthreatening way…”) has popped up on a couple of my daily blog reads in the past couple of weeks and was even the subject of a question on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. Dan Piaro blogged about it on his Bizarro blog today and I laughed out loud at some of his alternative titles, like: What Did You Do With My Mommy, You Taught-Eyed Freak?! and Why Does Mommy Always Look Surprised?

I think that MBM might even top Love You Forever as creepiest kids book of all times.

Is it just me...?

Front page article on SF Chronicle states referred to Obama as Hillary Clinton's "longtime rival" I'm having enough trouble with 'rival' considering how close the two senators are on most issues, but 'longtime'? Even in the short attention span opera that is US politics this language borders on the absurd.

First time ever

For probably the first time, in all the times i've done it, i know exactly the image i want to make for IFri. It hit me within 10 minutes of seeing the word. Ah, but when to do it. That is the question. After all, it's going to be a busy week.

IlloFri: Baby

Click image to enlarge.
Awwww. Is the big, mean gas pump making it hard fill up your Suburban? Got an owie in your wallet? Poor guy!

Suck it up, ya big baby. Take the bus. Get a hybrid. Telecommute. There are people in the world who are really suffering. Food prices are shooting through the roof for people who have been trying to feed their families on pennies a day. Your neighbors' kids are getting mutilated and killed in Iraq. We could be on the brink of an ecological meltdown and you're whining because it's going to cost a bit more to haul the Winnebago to your favorite fishing hole? Gimme a break.

Ok, ok. I know. Gas prices are tough on the already stretched middle class. I know it's hard on my family. Everyone I know is feeling the pinch. But really, let's get it in perspective.
