Portfolio Website Through the Years
December 11, 2013 10:52 am
Since I created my first online portfolio website in 2005, there have been a few common threads running through all my subsequent portfolio designs. Hmm… I wonder what that could be… Dragons! So many of them! Well, actually, just two, and only one of them are named. Still, my early college work had so many […]
Animations from Cute to Cool

I enjoyed doing my past research for nice independent animations on the internet made by Japanese people. I should keep posting them from time to time. Here’s an adorable one I just saw, which is actually Taiwanese:
Jun Seba and Satoshi Kon
August 27, 2010 1:08 pm
In February, Jun Seba passed away — accidentally, in a car accident (caused by an earthquake?). Most people didn’t know until about a month later. People like you and me knew him as Nujabes, and perhaps started listening to his music more after seeing Samurai Champloo for the first time. For everyone, it was amazingly […]
The Mario Violinist (and More Mario)

You should know, I’m on a real Mario kick right now. With the recent release of Super Mario Galaxy 2, not to mention E3 with all the other great returning classic platform heroes, I just want to play video games all day. But such desires of the id are played down and subdued, only to be lived out in my fantasies while I watch video game related media at work.

I’m a great fan of short things; short stories, short animations. They’re all opportunities to show a powerfully concise moving, touching, or just plain funny story. They require a special kind of skill to execute, and all the better when they’re visually unique!
I won’t say too much about each of these animations, or else I would be spoiling them. Needless to say, they mostly speak for themselves.

How did I ever live not knowing that this man existed?
As I attempt to immerse myself in more independent short animation, things like this continually restore my love for the art. Restooore!
I can’t stop watching this now…

5 Characters That Have Huge Eyes (and Aren’t From Anime)
December 16, 2009 3:53 am
From the very onset of my discovery of anime, I’ve noticed one of its staples amidst Western fans and critics alike have been the “huge, sparkly eyes”. It can’t be denied — it’s become such a staple that there are now contacts to simulate the look of them, and also stuff like this. It’s especially […]
