Hedgehog In The Fog

David — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:52:20 +0000

This short russian animation is about a hedgehog who gets lost in the fog on his way to visit the bear cub to count the stars. Nothing much happens. Its beautiful, mysterious and a little spooky. It’s directed by Yuriy Norshteyn and written by Sergei Grigoryevich Kozlov. In 2003 it was voted “№1 Animated film of all the time” at the Tokyo festival of animation.Well deserved, I think. It’s one of my favorite animations. Make yourself a cup of tea, and throw a couple of juniper twigs on the fire for that nice smokey smell. Put it on full screen and enjoy.

A Travesa

A bunch of us artists (18 in total) in Santiago De Compostela have got together to rent a studio space in the old town. As well as a studio for painting, another for sculpture and a dark room, there will be a chill-out room open to the public. We’re having the opening party tomorrow night at 8 ‘o’clock at Rua Travesa, 17. All are welcome.

Santiago by Octocopter

I live in Santiago de Compostella, a beautiful city in the north-west of Spain. Santiago has a perfectly preserved medieval old town, full of narrow winding streets and moss-covered stones, and an impressive cathedral. So a guy called alberto mounted a camera on a remote control octocopter , flew it through the cathedral and shot this awesome video:

Slow Blog

This is likely to be a slow blog. The last incarnation of my website had exactly one blog post in over a year. I’ll try to do better this time. This shouldn’t be hard given that the bar has been set so very, very low. Here are a couple of rough sketches just to make this look a little less empty:

The Pig painting was both the first and last post on the old site.
