the hype shoe obsession
i was going through an old hard drive this evening and came across this little video i made a few years ago called "the hype shoe obsession"
i believe there was a call for entries on the subject of "obsession" and ended up putting this together.
needless to say, it never went anywhere other than my hard drive, so i figured id throw it up here, because, well, why not.
if for nothing else, i do like the song.

"mother goose gets animated" piece
this is my piece for the "mother goose gets animated" art show that was took place this weekend at the ottawa animation festival. the theme of the show was "nursery rhymes", so i chose "mother hubbard" for mine, which goes as follows:
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To give the poor dog a bone:
When she came there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.
i was really privileged to have my piece among a lot of other extremely talented artists.
here are few links to some other participants who have posted their pieces from the show on their blogs...
brad cayford
scott k macdonald
jon izen
kyle marshall
steve lambe
chris graf

a new round of cuddle sticks reaction videos...
*note - you probably want to pop ahead to about the 1:30 mark of these to avoid the minute and a half build up of not much happening

youtubings
for whatever reason, in addition to a large amount of very polite and gracious people, youtube attracts a healthy dose of viewers that love to rip you new one.
so for the amount of people that leave nasty and rude notes on my videos, getting a comment like this is golden.
(taken from my transistor sect short)
thanks mccaslin7575,
made my day.

how to run a school 2010 winter games style
my "peaceful protest" of the winter games.
made in conjunction with the NFB's citizenshift program.
if you are interested in more details about the program's dossier,
you can feel free to check it out at the citizenshift website
*just as a side note here, i have nothing against the idea of the actual "games" or the athletes themselves, i think they deserve all the respect in the world. just the ludicrous amount of money spent on hosting the games that i feel could be channeled into more meaningful avenues.
erecting a 9.2 million dollar temporary "canada" pavilion in a parking lot where people sleep seems mildly bizarre.
hope that makes sense.

the sound of me blushing...
im so flattered by this write up on my county ghost by AWN i just had to share.
reading stuff like this just makes me want to stay up all night and make more.
a genuine thank you to AWN.
7) County Ghost - Episode 1 - Mike Geiger
AWNtv received four episodes of Geiger's wonderful classic-styled cartoon series, each of which is of equal quality. This Looney Tunes-inspired 2D cartoon finds a moonshiner blasting away at a ghost in his house. The premise is simple and sets up a series of wonderfully executed gags. This is a great example of how timing is so essential to humor in animation. The gags are no different than those in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but they still make you laugh. Geiger's great design style only makes the animation all the more sweeter.
