"Second Hand" by Isaac King

I'm on another busy hiatus but hopefully things will be cooling down soon.  Thanks to the power of technology I can blog from the comfort of my own laptop inside of a van crossing Indiana (thanks for the ride, Locksley!) and finally get some time to catch up.
I love the art direction of the video above, it's such a great combination of mixing digital mediums that you don't see enough of really.  I love the way he handled the translation of the character designs into the quasi-3D environment; very well done!
Until I get back to NYC, I thought I'd post a few links to a few [more] things I've enjoyed via the internet lately:

Toronto Comic Arts Festival: Pencil it In

My friend Tim Haldeen sent me this earlier today... it's a great little window into the tools & techniques of cartoonists from all walks o' life.  As for myself, ideally I like to have a nice mechanical pencil on me at all times & enjoy drawing with just about anything outside of crayons and ballpoint pens.  The novelty only lasts so long... 
I'm currently neck-deep in many-a-project so I've been slacking on keeping this dog of a blahg, but I've done a lot more digital painting in Flash this week and I have a music video shoot coming up tonight so there will be plenty to see here soon.
