My wife Virginia recently started Ammonite Films Publishing to publish children’s books. Ammonite just took Gold at the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards for Best First Book! Congrats to her, the author: Evan Welty and illustrator: Hsinping Pan on a job well done.

This morning I came up with the cute idea of making a memory flip-card game for my son Silas. To make it special I’m going to make cartoons of people in the family for him to play with. Since I already had my new icon I decided to use it as my style guide and try to work from there out.
The wife was the first to get the Icon treatment. She is a harsh critic of these sort of things so if this was going to work at all I would at the very least have to get her portrait right. She gave the THUMBS UP so I am good to go! Here it is.
After 1700 kms of driving Virginia and I have made it down to LA and are now lost in a forest of cardboard boxes. The big move is finally over and we are trying to settle into our new apartment on the West Side.
After ditching the Uhaul truck we rushed over to Sigraph for all of the usual chaos. We were too burned out to really dig into the new tech but we had the fortune of being able to run into a lot of old friends and sit down for a few interviews. It was especially nice to pass by the Animation Labs booth and have a moment to talk with some of our Jerusalem friends. Looks like The Wild Bunch is moving along and gearing up for animation. Best of luck to the Lab!
