My friend Beppe suggested he was reading “Moby Dick”. I like that.
2.12 Also…I came upon an illustrator quite by accident, I’d not heard of or seen before. I think he’s amazing. His caricatures are beyond compare, really fun & beautifully done. Check him out…Wouter Tulp.

I have a fond childhood memory. Along with the mosquito spray truck that came up our street in the northeastern burbs I grew up, the Mister Softee ice cream truck playing it’s familiar jingle. Now it seems just like everything else Mister Softee’s gone global…Mister Softee China.

Above is a vis dev story beat for A Fish Story. For those of you not familiar with the terminology “vis dev” is short for visual development. A “story beat” is an important part of the story…one that “drives the characters”. These are all terms in “previs” which is short for pre-visualization.
My daughter said the drawing reminded her of the “original Cinderella story. You know, the Chinese folktale?” I never heard of this.

Found while walking on the beach George assures me he just wants a hug.
Hello everyone. I watched a film last night I have to admit when I first watched the trailer and listened to all of the praise and superlatives heaped on it was skeptical. My skepticism was unfounded. The White Ribbon is a film that successfully addresses some disturbing issues beautifully.
