Film Festival Update

Hi everyone,

My film showed at the LA Shorts festival in Burbank, CA this weekend. I wasn't there, but I hope anyone who may have been there Sunday night enjoyed the film. I just realized that among the jurors for the festival were James Franco and Tia Carrere. I'm honored that they got to see AFC. :)

The winning animated short in the festival was "The Golden Age". A funny (and violent) short about a Coco puffs type character that looses his mind.

Dig Dug Lego

As a fun project over the Labor day weekend, I decided to build myself some pixel art out of Legos. Here is the finished result - about 10" wide x 12" high versions of Dig Dug, Fygar, and Pooka true to their video game incarnations. These are glued to wood boards so that everything stays together permanently, and can be hung on the wall (now just to find the perfect place to hang them). Making these really makes me want to tackle other favorite old games!
