Yesterday, one of the founders of Nobrow, publishers of illustrated books, came by the School of Visual Arts to talk about his company.

Social Me
Due to popular demand from people I meet at conventions, I’ve started to set up social media sites on twitter, facebook and the like. I actually already had a facebook site, but I though I should set up something more professional…And the Twitter account, I’ve had for a year, but never used it. You see, … Read More

Chimp pillow
My latest sewing creation: the chimp pillow. You get two chimps one one pillow for variety. The poses were sort of inspired from Bruce Lee. I a perfect world, I would put an audio device in the pillow that made sound whenever you punched the pillow, but right now it’s not feasible financially.
The where, the why, the how
I found this video in Parka Blogs.What struck me is how limited the animation is and how it doesn’t affect the quality of the video. I should try doing a video like that someday.

SVA is showing some of my work on their facebook page. I actually haven’t checked it out, because it’s weird to read about myself. But for everyone else, check it out at : https://www.facebook.com/SVACE
