The Scarf boards (and a new fest!)

I realized not long ago that I never did put these up. Adding tone recently for portfolio purposes and the film's acceptance into the Montreal International Black Film Festival makes for a timely post. Enjoy!

ode to lyd, and other people

I've been meaning to post this all week! and I've been meaning to write this ode for far longer. My best friend-and-cousin Lydia got married last weekend. She is one of the few people I know who has that rare and precious gift of truly listening; she is patient, loyal, practical, and gracious. I am tremendously thankful [and extremely happy] for her!


There is an art to watching kraft dinner on the stove, and my brother has mastered it.


And a portrait of my sister. She is hilarious, and we are twins.

p.s. I'll have some animation up again soon, and that's a promise!

My siblings and I held snail races one summer with the neighbour kids, no lie. I don't think anyone won.

Contrary to popular belief, the King is alive and well and donating paltry sums to good causes.

summer in the city

There was a girl playing recorder (that most brilliant of instruments) across the street yesterday. Her grandfather was sitting nearby listening but not watching just staring off in the distance and there's such a large gap between being 6 and being 60, I wonder what he was thinking about.

on balloon animals

I don't know about you but I've always thought balloon animals pretty cool. I saw a kid at an art fair while in Groningen clutching one of these and he looked absolutely ecstatic.

a little more on Uncle Antlers, as he'd like to be called
