I don't know about you but I really dig this show. It's a little different from what you would normally see for television animation. It moves well, nice snappy animation. The colours are vibrant with some nice effects and the selected use of computer animation blends in quite nicely.
Check it out if you can.

Check out the link to watch an episode of the show. I suggest watching it in media player as the quick time seems to chug. Enter the site then go to television then click On Air to watch the clip.

Below are a couple pages of sketches from a good friend Nuranee Shaw. A great inspiration back in school, I learned alot just by looking at his doodles.The best thing for me was when I realized I would never be able to draw like him and set off on my own style.
I still have a big collection of his stuff and look at it from time to time.Most of it I'm sure he feels embarrased about but it's as good today as it was then.

I hate daylight savings time. If you ask me we're not saving anything. Should be called daylight losing time. Should be called getting up an extra @#!* hour time. Oh well, I guess we'll be caught up by the end of the week.
I want my hour back!!!!

I hate Mondays
