Animated by the studio Monovich out of WA. and helmed by Stephen Fitzgerald, Stand is a beautifully rendered film about a windmill that brings hope to a dusty old valley. I especially love the music as it really pulls you in to the story.

John Martz is a really talented artist and illustrator. His work has a really nice, young, cartoonish style to it that is uniquely his own. I really love his use of line style, makes for a really cool styled drawing.

Disney Family Museum: Milt Kahl

May 29th, 2007

Part one.

Part two.

Part three.

Milt Kahl, one of Walt Disney’s legendary “Nine Old Men”, was born in San Francisco, California, in 1909. At 25, Milt joined the Walt Disney Studios and spent the next 42 years drawing and animating for Walt Disney.

Never completing a formal art education, his talents were observed by other Disney illustrators and animators such that Disney placed Milt in charge of the most difficult assignments. Over the years, Milt helped bring to life “Pinocchio”, “Peter Pan”, “Alice” of Alice in Wonderland, the “Prince” in Sleeping Beauty, and worked on full feature animated classics “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad”, “Cinderella”, “101 Dalmatians” and “The Jungle Book” among others.

Milt Kahl retired from Disney in 1976 and pasted away in 1987.

In 1989, Milt Kahl was posthumously named a Disney Legend.

Prank calls, Lactose Intolerance, Ultra Trippiness, Octopi… OH MY!
I’ve made a few prank phone calls in my lifetime One being to rockstar Danzig: those calls consisted of stifling giggles and not speaking just to hear him groggy and hungover, yelling various obscenities and other things I can’t really mention here.
The other, to an old man in my neighborhood, who would almost always, get up and check his fridge to make sure it was still running. Poor guy.
This week’s Channel Frederator Episode 82 celebrates life and it’s unexpected moments.
Which at times can be mischievous, intolerable, very strange, and can pull you under every now and again and not let go.

Google SketchUp is a deceptively simple, amazingly powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily.”

I used this program and within 5 minutes I was creating really good 3d models of architectures. I think it’s even capable of animation!

Andrea Breitman is a talented, off-beat artist.

Her fascination lies in the daily functions and dysfunctions that she observes around her. Yhe artwork, which lies a little to the left, is her way of making light of the things that boggle her, both personally and generally.

She’s also the mind behind the 2nd annual 3 feet high show at Maxwell’s, open til June 23rd.

Visit her at Kneehigh.net.
