Spore

The evolution of gaming is here…literally! SPORE is a video game developed by Will Wright (maker of Sim City/The Sims). In SPORE you start as microbs and evolving to the point where your creatures leaves their planet to explore planets other peoples world they made on-line. You can create any creature imaginable! Will Wright had his team build a Care Bear! Do you have a puppet character you think would make an excellent world creature? Or perhaps you have tried to draw a character in 2D but wish you could develop it into a 3D interactive character, now you can. Check out Will Wrights tutorial here! I recommend watching it until the care bear appears. A release date is still TBA. You can also go here to read more about the different stages of gameplay and the technical aspects of the game: HERE

Pete Doherty gets animated, then drunk.

A cartoon depiction of the misadventures of Pete Doherty is headed to television screens, according to the BBC. As if his life isn't enough of a cartoon already. He looks disgusting yet dates a supermodel and gets caught repeatedly with hard drugs, sprays people with blood, and injects passed out women but never goes to prison. At this point, authorities must have realized that incarcerating him would only lead to his painting a hole on the wall and escaping.

Curious Production Stories

This blog post about the making of the amazing animated film CURIOUS GEORGE, written by one of the film's supervising animators, is pretty depressing, but probably not any more depressing than how the typical US animated feature is produced nowadays.

Dog Days of Animation

Disney story artist Paul Briggs has started an unusual art project/blogsite called Dog Days of Animation. Says Paul:

It all began back in 1996 when I wanted to ask a colleague in the animation industry for a drawing. I was embarrassed to ask because I knew the pressure of being an artist and having to "think" of something to draw. So, I decided to use this photo of a random dog that I took one day in a flower shop. I had no connection to the dog so therefore there were no expectations of the subject matter from my end as well. All I wanted was the artists to represent themselves.

Most of the drawings are done by Paul's Feature Animation colleagues at Disney - including Chris Sanders (above), Alex Kupershmidt and Aaron Blaise. Twenty drawings have been posted so far, but Paul tells us he has over sixty drawings in total that he'll be putting up over the next several months. If you're interested in participating or want to see a photo of the original dog, visit this page.
