Gene Deitch
What a great Oscar winning director/animator and a seemingly great person.
Gene Deitch has written a few books and one is available online for free at AWN entitled, How to Succeed in Animation. This may be old news to some of you but it's new to me. It's a very entertaining read, so far, I am only half way through it right now but I am loving it and reading it every chance I get.
Also, I found Gene's official site and read a fantastic but true story about Gene and one of my favorite blues artists ever, John Lee Hooker. If you want to read a great story take a look.

Ratatouille Wallpapers
The character designs for the next Pixar movie "Ratatouille" make me sick.
So sick that I have forced myself to watch the
trailer for this movie about 30 times.
How sick is this animation? Look at the eyes. Look at the line of action on the blue guy as he's running. Look at that stunning fat walk by the red guy. Hell, look at those hand poses on the waiter at the beginning. That's some sick character animation folks.
The staging is simply unreal. Even in the opening shot take a look at the cars, where are they going? They're going the same place your eye was. It's making me gag, hang on. When they pause as blue rat is mid air to tell why he's in that predicament. When they introduce the blue rat. All so good.
The sickest part though are the character designs, we're talking about simple rats btw, these are some of the best rat designs I have ever seen. The blue one with his purple eyelids and slender build. I downloaded the HD version of the trailer and little things amaze me like the fur on their ears, the pink of their skin.
I'm feeling sick I tell ya! And I am not one of those Pixar fanatics either, I mean I like their movies like everyone else, but this one, this rat movie, has the potential to destroy.
I made three nice, clean wallpapers from the trailer. (1280x1024)
You can really see the detail in these and I like clean uncluttered wallpapers so I thought I'd share. Click on the pictures for large wallpaper versions.
