in preperation for that Coraline panel thing, i've been going through old Laika folders. I found this from a day when my mind was wandering a little. I'm thinking of making it into a greeting card. For when you are feeling envious of somebody...

more about that Coraline stuff when it gets closer to the film opening up next week.

Iceberg



When i was home for christmas, my brother Will and me made an iceberg. It's sort of based on the iceberg in the royal bank commercial (see earlier post), but making it into a three dimensional thing turned out to be really fun. It has a front door and a back door. The cutting was not my job. Will is an architect by trade, you see, and he's a pro with that sort of thing. Mostly it was me saying 'lower. no, higher. even higher.' and him saying 'it can't go higher.' Other brother Justin turned out to have a knack for making sculpey penguins. There is a huge strip of pictures below. Our zest for photo documentation is due in part to two of us getting new cameras and the slightly blurred photos are due to us getting to know the auto-focus on our lenses.
