Tales Of Mere Existence “I Have To Get Ready”

Lev’s cartoons used to be the highlight of the most excellent Cole Valley Film Festival, when I lived in San Francisco. The technique is both original and simple, a monologue while drawing the cartoon, viewed from underneath back lighted paper, and the cartoons themselves are very good.

Swedes Upset at Germans Making fun of Swedes in IKEA Germany Commerical.

Spacefest Preview

Spacefest 2009 will be held in San Diego Feb 19-22 next year in San Diego. This trailer is a great taster. It is also a way to plug the place where I found it, my favorite new weblog: Bad Astronomy, which is bad ass, indeed.
