Persepolis website
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007
I just wanted to say that the Persepolis website (for the movie) is a beautiful affair. My screenshot above does it no justice at all, so please visit the site and judge for yourself.

Persepolis Poster
Thursday, October 11th, 2007
This is the official poster for the US release of Marjane Satrapi’s feature animation film “Persepolis“. I like it - it really reflects the mood of the book. I hope the film does too.

… to lie to people. I hope this is a joke, a parody, whatever. I fail to understand how cutting edge talent and rather antiquated beliefs go hand in hand. I truly don’t.

Filler time - Cartoon women in dove campaign
Thursday, March 29th, 2007
About a year ago, Dove ran a campaign featuring cartoon women like Jane Jetson and Marge Simpson, showing the benefits of Anti Frizz Creme, Volumizing Mousse, Define & Style Control Gel and Precision Volume Hairspray (the branding gurus had a day off when they thought of those names).

Chris Ware On This American Life

Alex Toth Model Sheets
Friday, March 16th, 2007
ASIFA, the Hollywood Animation Archive Project Blog, has posted some amazing model sheets from the late 60’s by the late and great Alex Toth. Some of them are xeroxed, but others are beautifully scanned from what seems to be originals.
I am not familiar with the shows these sheets were made for, but they obviously typical for the fantasy-adventure type of animated TV-shows of that era, with superheroes, monsters, magicians and the like. If only I could forget about the very lame animation techniques that were used then, I’d almost grow nostalgic…
