Double Spread in Diamond's August Previews
July 31st, 2010

The Saga of Rex is featured in the new Diamond's August Previews in a full color two-page spread.

I'm really excited to be working with Image and I'm thrilled with the attention they're giving the book. I was told that The Saga of Rex was a big hit at the recent American Library Association Conference which bodes well for its future.

It's an interesting experience working with a seasoned publisher instead of trying to do everything myself. I'm learning to delegate and that's a good thing - you can accomplish a lot more that way. Self-publishing was educational, but at this point in my career, my time is better served focusing on the creative aspects of my various projects.


Sensology Premiere Schedule
July 28th, 2010

I'm back from California (more on that later) where I had a private screening of the DCP of my finished short film, Sensology. It was great to see the film at 2K resolution on a big screen. I hand delivered the DCP to Laemmle Theatres for this coming weekend's premiere. The film will play at:

Laemmle's Fallbrook 7
6731 Fallbrook Ave
West Hills, CA 91307
(818) 340 8710

Screenings are Friday July 30th, Saturday July 31st and Sunday August 1st at 2:00PM and 5:50PM.


Sensology
July 15th, 2010



It's hard to believe that my new short film is finally completed after nearly four years since I started doing the animation. I put in the final touches last weekend and my friend, Joe Campana, did the 3.1 mix for theater configuration. The film clocks in at exactly 6 minutes!

Sensology is an abstract animated visualization of a 1995 landmark performance by two avant-guarde musicians, Paul Plimley and Barry Guy. I recently collaborated with Barry and Paul on Fixed Fragmented Fluid, which I also hope to turn into a movie at a later date.

The files for the completed film were shipped to Qube Cinema in oder to master a DCP for digital theaters. I will see a screening of the film on July 26th at the Qube facility to make sure everything looks good. Then, I will be delivering the DCP to the Laemmle Theater.

I will post the exact theater location and screening times as soon as I know them. Hope some of you can make it to the premiere.


Flight 7 Preview
July 4th, 2010

Kazu and Jason just posted a preview for Flight 7, including 2-6 page excerpts of each story in the book.

Flight 7 will be released at San Diego Comic-Con this year.  Feel free to stop by the booth and say hi to several of the Flight artists, who will be there all weekend signing books.  If you won’t be at the show, you can also pre-order the book on Amazon, or look for it at your local bookseller on July 20, 2010!
