Today, as I was checking my favorite video game blogs, I came across a pleasant surprise.  A trailer for a game I created some concept art for at Liquid has just been released.  It’s called Merchants of Brooklyn, and its being developed by Paleo Entertainment.  Liquid was involved in the early stages of its development, as Paleo was preparing a demo.  Since the game’s release date is still some ways off, I can’t share the conecpt art yet, but you get some glimpses of  the casino/pit fighting area, which I helped design, in the trailer below.

Here’s he latest trailer for Laika’s Coraline!

It’s back to life and work, finally, after these months and months of anticipation.  Barack Obama is our next president.  I am proud of what has happened, and I am even prouder of the dignity with which it happened.  This is truly one of the most exciting days to be an American.

GO VOTE!

…And just for the fun of it, here’s a great music video I found today.  Very creative, and a great song, too.  Reminds me a lot of the 80’s stop motion videos like “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel and “And She Was” by The Talking Heads.

 

For my friends who aren’t in the industry, Hayao Miyazaki is not only a master of animation, but a master filmmaker as well.  His movies are some of the most delicate and imaginative works of popular art out there.  As expected, his newest film, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, is being picked up for distribution here in the States by Disney.

The story follows the adventures of Ponyo, a goldfish who dreams of being human, and his relationship with a five year old boy who finds him.  It’s an odd-looking movie, to be sure, but Miyazaki’s work is always a delight for children both young and old.  Check out the trailer below.

Not an art-related post, but I found this list from a blog titled Very Good Taste and it seemed like fun. I’ve tried 37 of the 100.  The original post can be found here. 

Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers. Read more »
