Our talented Team Member Julia Mukai gave us this card wishing us Merry Winter Solstice and Happy New Year! As an animator she drew keyframes of the Lady of the Night flower opening and closing. Brilliant!
Here's to many new Moons bringing us many more Blooms!

In this part of the Re:Frame interview me and Bill Plympton get into a fight (or rather a squabble) about money and how to finance independent animated films. I guess I don't have rosy views on being a 'content creator' but we can battle it out!

Pratt Institute's Women in Animation chapter came to our studio for a studio tour. They were open minded, curious, practical and process oriented. We had a stimulating discussion. My conclusion: the future of Animation is safe in their hands!

In the moments of feeling the imminent doom when you doubt working on your project remember that Salinger wrote Catcher in the Rye while he was on the D-Day mission. The war ended, the book was published and life continued on. Making Art during the end of the world actually makes the world go on .
