And the Oscar goes to.... Ratatouille!

To everyone at the studio--a job very well done! This was an exciting film to watch come together. Persepolis and Surf's Up and the whole row of nominated shorts show that the bar is rising...! A big congrats to everyone nominated--great work! Let's hope 2008 is just as exciting.

I should also mention that I kept a small journal while abroad; I guess I can share some of those sketches too. My preference is to draw from life, but when there just isn't any time, I take notation, visual and written, snap a photo if circumstances allow, and later use these fragments to construct larger diaries. It's time consuming and sometimes quite challenging, but ultimately well worth it. It's a good system.

So that's what you'll be seeing; these tiny sketches are my notes.

It's a new year, I'm back from holidays, busy working, cooking and road tripping. As soon as I can, I'd like to share some pictures from a recent trip to London.
