Blog Harvest is Back!

A blog that was started by some of us Lucasfilm Animation people laid dormant for a long time, but was recently ressurected: Blog Harvest! It's built on doing a different piece a month, where the topic is comprised by an elaborate process of pulling out pieces of random topics out a bowl.

This month's topics: Circus & Giant Monsters!

Happy New Year! (both Western and Eastern)

New year folks! It's gonna be another good one. I know it. This is a memory sketch of Henry Sellick (who spoke at ILM about the upcoming Coraline, which looks aaaawwwesooome!). I have terrible memory by the way ("Was he wearing an orange shirt or a green one?")

And BIG congratulations to buddy Kelsey Mann for landing a gig at Pixar. We'll definately miss him, but now he gets to hang out with the likes of Luxo Jr. and Mike Wasowski. MIKE WASOWSKI!!
