The Strange History of Lorem Ipsum

Who can resist a lesson in Latin? I heard the blurbs for this while driving around a coupla times, and was curious enough to go back and find the piece. Thought it might deepen the experience of deploying this ancient burble...for all of us text block fillers. And perhaps have a ready reference for those disoriented by their first time encounter with 'dummy text.' Also, it's just good form to know what the weapons you're wielding are made of. (Hint: it has a lot to do with pain.)

Project Resurrection



Rick and I have resurrected an animation project from last year. I'll be uploading random animation sketches and tests and then eventually the whole short. We're pretty stoked to get this project going again.

It's based on a childhood memory and centers on distance between a father and a son in an immigrant family. We're hoping we can bring across some of the subtleties Rick and I feel when we discuss and consider this memory.

I am hoping to show off the completed film in a month or so.
