Infinite Sandbox

Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Everything to do with Comics, Animation, and the Infinite Imaginarium that is Nerd Life
bryankonietzko: I’m excited to share with you the final cover art (Korra drawn by Joaquim Dos Santos and painted by me, with a background painting by Fred Stewart) for the upcoming Korra Book One: Air art book, published by our good friends at Dark Horse Books. This was a real labor of love (heavy on the labor) for Mike, Joaquim, and me and all those who helped as we put this book together, and we are so proud of all the great artists’ work inside and can’t wait to share it with all of you. The plan is to do one of these art books per “book” of Korra (so four total), which is daunting yet fantastic. Direct market on sale date: July 24, 2013. Book market on sale date: August 6, 2013. 9” x 12” hardcover, 144 pages

One could say this is the precise microscopic point where science and art converge.

cliobablio: HUGE congratulations to John Kahrs for Paperman’s win at the Oscars last night!!! I could absolutely not be more proud of him and the entire team (my neighbors heard so too). Thank you thank you thank you for letting me be a small part of it!! Here’s a little section of boards I did that were not used - at one point George was fighting the daily commuters and the paper planes helped him get to the platform, but Meg was gone by then…. Paperman is also now available via Itunes! …I have no idea why the board artists are listed under “screenwriters,” but this idea and story came wholly from John and was based on his experience living in New York. Also congratulations to fellow teammates on Tumblr who have worked on it: Helen Chen (vis dev) and Sarah Airriess (traditional animation)! This short was a thing of beauty! Congratulations!

So, today at work (for research of course) I was reintroduced to the world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery that is “Thundarr the Barbarian”! This is why I love working in cartoons!
