What ‘I Kissed a Girl’ Can Teach You About Cartoons

Probably nothing…on the surface.
But let’s dig a little deeper.
I may go so far into left field with this post you might have to send out a search party. Here it goes anyway, so bear with me.
For my trip to Montreal, I flew Westjet. I dig Westjet because you get your own personal satellite TV that’s [...]

Well, I’m back. Did ya miss me?
Montreal was great. A little family, a little friends, a little poutine (note to self: eat more veggies).
Here are the tidbits:
While I was gone, the good folks at the VFS Blog posted an interview about me and the storyboard blog. Check it out and poke around the site if [...]
