Near is my animated short that has been submitted to a few select film festivals for 2008.  Another North American screening is September 13 in Denver, at the Frame Damage Festival of Animation.  Other official screenings that have taken place: Cortoons Film Festival in Rome, Italy; AFIA Film Festival in Aarhus, Denmark; Boston International Film Festival, USA; Urbis Animax in Christchruch, New Zealand.   You can view the trailer in the Animations area, and background art under Paintings .  I heartily recommend the Firefoxbrowser for viewing this site.  As you may well know, large software companies are using a wide array of tactics in their quest for digital rights management (DRM).  As a content creator, I share some of these concerns.  However, the results of said tactics are quite beyond my control.  Firefox is generally reliable is this environment, it is free, easy and regarded as earnest in addressing security concerns

 

I hope you enjoy the illustration and animation work presented here.  The newest work at the site is an animated open for a Children's Festival of Reading .  It was made for a real kid's brain.  And, see the interesting note on tools used, posted on the movie page.
