Well, obviously I’m a day late, but it’s for a good cause: I printed the second to last screen on my Christmas cards last night (and finished tonight!). A post about them will be coming once they’re all mailed out (don’t want to ruin the surprise!).
But on to this week’s links: for the past several […]

With the debut of Disney’s Bolt tomorrow, 3D movies are seeing a return to the Silver Screen. Although technically, the trend started this past summer, Bolt marks the beginning of Disney’s digital 3D releases for its animated films. A while back, I read an article in Variety stating that Pixar was planning to do the […]

I’m all mixed up on my day’s tonight. I started to write another post before it hit me that it was Wednesday already! Eep. So I scoured my shared items for some goodies to share. Once again, this week’s don’t seem to have any rhyme or reason, but hopefully are fun nonetheless.

Since I didn’t get around to posting last night (-2 on NaBloPoMo now), I thought I’d post a quick one this morning. Imagine my surprise to see my former Web-design/Flash professor on Design You Trust this morning! Qian Qian is a new media designer who also does some (really cute) vector-illustration work.

Since Friday is Halloween, which just happens to be my favorite holiday (followed closely by April Fool’s Day), I thought I’d share some fun Halloween links this week. But first, I want to give a big shout-out to Linden for unveiling her brand new site! She’s gotten her own domain and switched to WordPress! Congrats! […]

I’m not sure what triggered it, but I’m not upset with the abundance of stop-motion in my feedreader this week. So rather than sending you off on a link chase, I thought I’d curate a little animation festival: just scroll down!

I’ve been overwhelmed with the number of great books that just keep popping up…that, and I realized I’d forgotten a few on last week’s list. Hence the continuation. But before I get going, an important announcement: It Came!

This past weekend, I got the book I won from Johno over at iLT: Designing Books. It’s marvelous! […]

This week there seemed to be a lot of really good how-to’s that I came across. The exciting thing? Many of these how-to’s were things I had been wishing for, but not necessarily looking for. Joy!

I guess I technically post these After Wednesday is over, but anyways. I thought I’d finish of my little series of posts on animation by linking to several animation blogs I’d like to share. If anyone knows of any others, feel free to leave them in the comments.
