There is some great stuff at fantasticanimation blog... Andrey Khrzhanovskiy's The Glass Harmonica, above, and Christy Karacas' Space War, up top... mixed in with some really gnarly icky stuff I don't care for ... plus Richard Sala, whom I just don't get.

As a bonus, there's an animated Bosch painting. Do you really want to to see an Hieronymous Bosch painting get all animated? Think about it for a second. Bosch. In motion. With a Buckethead soundtrack.

I think Bosch would have done a similar job himself, frankly. He may even have worked with Buckethead. Really makes a person want to avoid hell, if you ask me.

All I want for Christmas is my own ATOMIUM!

Thanks boingboing!

Jossie Malis' Zumbakamera, the love child of traditional shadow puppets and Czech mushroom-inspired animation, was profiled at Drawn a while back. And I didn't even notice, at the time.

Which goes to show why you have to read Drawn every day.



And pay attention to those links! You could miss something!!

I must clean my monitor now, having sprayed my cheap wine all over it after viewing the scribbled marvels of Thomas Herpich, whom I had never heard of before.

One of those sites that makes you want to grab a crayon and a paper bag, ANYTHING!... and start drawing.

No?!

From an old post at Drawn that I stumbled across...

Well I just saw Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep; and my opinion is that it is not a movie for everybody.

I loved it, mostly, because it is very dismissive of boundaries between the real and the imagined; and for the schizophrenic in all of us, this idea is very romantic. It also suffers from arrested development, proposing that being 12 years old is the only time when one truly sees life as it really is. Or, as Gondry put it on his DVD collection, I've Been 12 Forever. This is a good thing?!

However, being 12, and schizophrenic, and really whimsical, and living in Paris next door to Charlotte Gainsbourg, is not a bad way to spend an evening... so I encourage both of you readers to pony up and go see it.

I don't even know what's going on here, but it looks really marvellous.

I want to see the insect puppet movie, because there is no such thing as a bad stop-action bug movie.

Thanks to fousdanim!

The Brothers Chaps are always rich, and thick, and chocolatey, but they have outdone themselves with their 10-year-anniversary remix of their original lame children's book.

The potential outpouring of spectacularity was clear from page one of this Macpaint masterpiece, and the gold-standard Flash juggernaut they have become is palpable in every 10-year-old image.

Be proud, Bros Chaps!!!

Presidential Doodles is a book about doodles wot our Presidents have doodled.

Is this from WFMU blog? Of course it is!

I honestly don't want to make anybody feel bad.

Just 'cause I got my own Doop action figure from eBay for wicked cheap... there are still plenty out there.

As Cheap Trick always said: just Reach Out and Take It!

You know you want to.

TV on the Radio's latest is the best recording I have heard in a whole bunch of minutes.

I'm too old to figure out if they're considered cool, or totally last year, or wotever.

I always liked 'em before, and their new release is their bestest ever. I think you should get it.
