I hope everyone already knows about the Halloween contest over at Journey Round My Skull! Submit your entries early. This will be magnificent.

I like all these redrawn comic book covers!

Thanks boingboing for letting me know that this exists!

Thanks again to Drawn!

Marc Craste, the brains behind Jo Jo in the Stars and the Pica Towers series, has a new short out called Stuck on a Sunday. You can see some of it at the Studio AKA site (it's a Flash site - click on the Stuck on a Sunday bit on the lower left). Great atmospheric animation as always from MC MC!



Thanks to Ian at Animation Blog for the heads up!

I don't know much about the Lauenstein brothers, except I saw Balance at animation festivals in the 1980s. Shane Acker seems happy to name-check them at the New York Times so I bet there is more to them than I know about. Try some!
