Garden Without Flowers

I made Garden Without Flowers in 1999 using watercolor cut-outs and backgrounds. Fausto Caceres created the amazing soundtrack.
* note- I just updated with a less pixilated version.


Absence

I’m back from vacationing near the Columbia River Gorge, Washington. We had a lovely time!
I went to a few of the events at the the PLATFORM International Animation Festival held in Portland, Oregon and wish I could have seen more, especially the Installation and Event Party.
Here are a few links that I gathered from artists’ […]


She Cow Loop


Here is a start of the She Cow loop. I’ll keep adding, as more She Cows get painted.
Once you click the play button, it takes awhile to load.


Junebug

Our little one turned three this weekend, I can’t believe it! These past days have been so happy and festive.

Stalling…

This film via “Cartoon Brew” looks very interesting I wish I could see it.
Mostly, I have been working and stalling on […]


Garden Folly

My watercolors have been collecting some dust. Here is a fragment of what I’m working on; hopefully you’ll see the final version, soon.

In the 17th century, the Barberinis, who rose to prominence in Renaissance Rome, paid homage to bees by placing images of them everywhere: on their coat of arms, on church altars, and on […]


The long post that never was

I had a shaggy-dog post that went on forever in my head, but I think it is best to just cut my losses and for now keep this post short and sweet. A lot of things have fallen to the wayside and I’m going to try and reel them back. Here is another scene from […]


Foliage thoughts

A couple of weeks ago my Dad handed me this image of this building, the Quai Branly Museum, by Jean Nouvel.

It also makes me think a lot about Permaculture, a term […]
