Picture of the Day



Scott Caple

Last June I had been attending several different Industry Day / Animation Showcase events. First in Truro's Animediafest, then Sheridan's industry day in Oakville, and then in NBCC's Jaloo Festival in Miramichi hosting their first grand showcase of their Art/Animation & Gaming programs.

I was part of a 5 person panel discussion group, debating and answering questions regarding how to prepare for the industry as an animation artist. But the coolest thing was to meet legendary layout/storyboard artist Scott Caple. His long resume goes as far back as Star Trek 2, Raiders of the Lost Arc and many other 2D/3D animated films & television credits.

To give you some persepective on the geek factor for this, here's 1982's Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan. Watch it at 6:30 min. Scott animated the phaser fire battle between the Enterprise and the Reliant... Isn't that the coolest thing ever?!


Needless to say I was geeking out in his presence and he had many cool stories from 'back in the day' working for Nelvana and Disney.

The Big Bash

Thank you all for coming!
over 150 people showed up, most of the Nova Scotia animation community, it was good to see everyone, it felt like a huge and heart-felt reunion even though it had only been a few months.

Macy's Parade Rick Roll !!!



This Thanksgiving Day in the U.S., Rick Astley performed the biggest live Rick Roll since he used to perform live back in the '80s. I take that back, it's the biggest live Rick roll ever. After all, isn't Thanksgiving the day where we get together with our loved ones and let them know that we'll never give them up, let them down, run around or desert them?

A Comic Strip

The back story of this little cartoon starts with me teaching at the Digital Arts College a couple months ago, I realized I was out-numbered, four 3D animation teachers versus just one 2D animation teacher (me), so I began posting up some posters with cartoons on them expressing how superior 2D cartoons are to 3D animation, just to poke fun and start a mock-war, the students loved seeing two sides in a fake conflict over which style is better. It was all in good fun with plenty of back-and-forth battles over the propaganda of the superiority of the 3rd dimension being better than the flat world of the 2nd dimension.

Anyways, a student by the name of David Crocker in my Fundamentals of Art & Design class drew this up for me, I thought it was great!
