Super Punch

This is me super punching at the beach in Gloucester, MA last week.

Hey, Jess and I are going to LA in a few weeks for the Nicktoons Network Animation Festival Creator Night. If Kid Show won anything, they'll announce it that night, so it sounds like a lot of fun. Plus our plane tickets were super cheap, because of Virgin America.

Oh No Spider

I found this huge spider in our stairwell the other day. It scared the crap out of me, but I had to capture it and take photos.

Jess and I just got back from a weeks visit to Boston to visit family and such. It was pleasant, although we both were sick the whole time. I saw No Country For Old Men for the first time. Wow. It was so original... it sucks you in and you want it to keep going forever.

Good news:

- Kid Show will screen on Nickelodeon's "Nicktoons" channel October 12th. I'll give more details later, but it's for the Nicktoons Network Animation Festival, so that's exciting!

- Earl Boone Is Alive is part of Slamdance's Anarchy Short Film Competition for the month of September, so go watch it and vote for it! (requires registration at their site)Click here to see what it's competing against and click here for a direct link to my film.

-Kid Show is also going to screen at the Austin Film Festival in mid October. Not sure if I'm attending yet.

The Cat

I made a quicky animation today. It's called The Cat Part 1. I need to do more of this.

Jess and I are going to Boston on Tuesday for 6 days. That'll be nice.

I'm quite tired.

Upside Down

This is Mr. Josh Wakeman and I upside down at the SAM Sculpture Park. Thanks to Miranda Wakeman for taking this shot. Thanks to Josh's skull for being able to withstand his weight. Thanks to the giant cone for being orange.

Oh, and the grass, sky, buildings, etc.

LCD Sound System makes me want to jump. Check em out--you can listen to every song through the site.

I'm still at work, but I started going insane, so I had to blog. BLOOOG

Wow, you got messed up.

Most people who know me know about my tarping accident. And if you're not sure what I'm talking about, be sure to check out my tarping video. Anyways, I got nailed pretty badly when I tarped during a blizzard back in '06 (in Rhode Island). I fractured my skull, broke my elbow and shattered my kneecap, but compared to the guy in the following video, I think I lucked out alright. I got pretty banged up, but I don't think I was critical condition.



My fall was more like his first hit in the sand, because I landed on my feet, but the icy concrete was less forgiving.

Don't do these things in severe conditions, unless you're using a blanket.

Tricks

It's nice to know that I'm still young enough to do a one handed hand-stand... even though I can only hold it for one second. These photos were taken in the Seattle Art Museum Sculpture Park.

I played Dr. Mario last night for a while and acheived a 359,400 point score (high speed setting), and if I had been recording the game, I would have been in 3rd place for the world record high score.

Polaroid Star

Last Friday I was a Polaroid Star. Work had a lets-go-to-the-beach-for-the-afternoon afternoon and Cody brought the camera. I don't know what it was, but Cody and I were nailing these amazing shots in one take. The top one is of me springing over a badminton net. Cody laid in the sand to get that angle. The other photo is extreme ketchup-ing.

In two weeks, Kid Show will screen at the Frame Damage animation festival in Denver. Check it out if you're near there.
