I think this goes for artists and illustrators, too.

I have no idea what made me think of it, but lolling in my bathtub this morning, I found myself rolling the end title credits of the movie “Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events” through my head. In my humble opinion, the title credits were the best thing about the movie. I Googled it as soon as I got out of the tub (someday, technology will catch up with me and I’ll be able to do that safely from underwater, but for now, I do recommend apres bathtub Googling) and found the lead animator, layout artist, and technical director Benjamin Goldman which lead me to this rather uninspired site (well, it IS under construction apparently so we will give him the benefit of the doubt): http://www.benjamingoldman.com/ 

there’s a few other pretty chew nuggets of animated goodness on there too.

Purchase TICKET at Cory’s shop.

Cory Godbey has just released a 28-page paperback picture book called “Ticket“. From the teaser:

Ticket is a story in pictures and a collection of all things Cory loves to draw. From windmills flying above grassy hills to massive birds landing in Grecian vineyards, Ticket follows the story of a girl, her hat, and the curious events which transpire.

Cory posted the epic illustration mentioned in the teaser as his entry for Illustration Friday’s “Enough” theme. I’ve been grooving on Cory’s whole exploration and documentation of Ticket on his blog, it’s absolutely captivating. I can’t wait to read it!

I am a huge fan of what  political illustrator Steve Brodner has done with his cartoons on the New Yorker website. This technique is a perfect marriage of classic political cartooning paring up with todays video on demand. To have him explain his political thoughts while watching a masterpiece emerge and transform is thrilling. It is such a great use of the internet as a medium and it advances what age old political spoofing can be. Check out The Naked Campaign page for the videos.

I’m grateful to live in an era when I can ask a friend “What have you been up to?” and he can answer “Making a movie. Wanna see the trailer?” The short film, a surreal love story called Now and Nowhere, was made with a live actors in a CGI world. The preview left me hungry to see the whole thing and curious to know what other art projects are taking shape in garages all over the world.
