Shane Acker's 9
The feature length version of Shane Acker's short film "9" is scheduled for a December release. I'm over the moon that someone would make a feature like this. The voice cast will include Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover. Here's the original award-winning short:
Nocturna and Mr. Collieu
I first heard about Nocturna many years ago on the Drawing Board, and eagerly awaited it's release. Apparently, the English language version was released in Europe last year, but I never heard anything about a US release. Anybody out there in animation land have any of the inside dope on this film? Will there be a US theatrical and/or DVD release?
Apparently, there is another film on the way by the same makers with a similar style called Mr. Collieu. Anyone know anything about it?

This is Colossal!
Here's a little piece I drew for the CAPS submission in the 2008 ComicCon Souvenir Program Book. The theme this year is The Legion of Super-Heroes. I submitted this black and white drawing of Colossal Boy for the program book and added color and the Lichtenstein treatment for the blog. Happy, well-scrubbed, old-school super-hero. By the way, you HAVE noticed the new feature to this blog, haven't you? Check out the little slideshow to the right of this entry and click on it. You can see my cartoon portfolio as single images or as a full sized slideshow. You can even leave comments for each of the individual portfolio pages (hint, hint). Check it out!

Everybody Must Get Stoned
My brother Benton found this short film posted on YouTube. It used to get shown a lot when I was in high school, and I always thought it was probably one of the best examples of capturing the spirit of a short story on celluloid.
There was also this one, which also got a lot of play in high school, and brings back a lot of memories. Here's the first part. You can find the rest on YouTube:
