  • Children In Need music video
    Cartoon Brew: Leading the Animation Conversation

    Every year, the BBC airs a Children In Need charity fundraiser. This year they produced a stop motion music video which, for cartoon buffs in the UK, is a pretty big deal. It collects around 120 characters (approximately) from children’s shows from the last 30 (or more) years. It features classics like Paddington Bear, the [...]

  • Two by Two (1966)
    Cartoon Brew: Leading the Animation Conversation

    I got into a discussion with a friend last week about the horrible theatrical cartoons of the 1960s. I call them “drive-in cartoons” because I see no use for them except to be filler at drive-in theaters, allowing time for kids to get concessions or for teenagers to make-out before the main feature.

    Here’s a Children’s Book I meant to write about for a few weeks now and I was just remembered of it while perusing StickersAndStuff.

Lots of William Hundley references, did he help out with it? *EDIT – I guess Schofield made this video without giving any recognition to Hundley which was disappointing to me. Then I [...]

  • Every Recent Graphic Design Grad Should BUY THIS BOOK!

    There is a major disconnect between the life of a design student and the transition to being a design professional. To demystify the transition, we share the failures, successes, and surprises during our years in college and progression into the field: the creative process, monetary problems, internships, interviews, mistakes, and personal relationships. We include the work from our first design class to our most current client work, along with side stories and interviews from our mentors, teachers, and peers. This book will serve as the ultimate companion for design students, educators, and anyone breaking into a creative field. .
