I recently had fun leading an annual animation intensive class with new students. I decided to extend my cartoon from last year to take my character on an adventure. Here's a frame so you can see who he met along the way. Very short, and I only had time for limited movement, but I had a blast

I had a marvelous time at the preview of Paul McCartney's photo exhibit in SF. I loved the exuberant energy between his camera and his pals and fans. Paul also had a great eye for sociological images that made use of signage -his humor comes through! Speaking of humor, George with hats :)

My new episode of Cocktail Nation radio drops this weekend. Every month I do a Spy Vibe segment about a classic film or TV program. This month I kick off a short series that takes us back to Japan!

Just for fun: I'm working with one of my photography students, who was inspired by an artist we looked at. As an example, I showed her how to experiment with multiple tints and added color elements. My shot from a trip to the Egyptian Museum in San Jose a couple of years ago.
