I Love Egg

We do like a good egg here in Fire, chocolate-y or chicken-y, we love em all. Here's a not at all disturbing little ditty, sung in praise of the humble fresh egg (via I Love Egg, naturally). Enjoy and have a happy Easter!

Things to Learn

This is a very cute minimal and fun animation created by Christian Borstlap for the Dutch children's charity Kinderpostzegels. A nice way to start your Wednesday morning!

American Software

I love simple bold geometric shapes and old arcade game graphics. So when I saw this video by Partizan Darkroom for American software it just blew me away.

An Important Message

Save the Arts which is the UK's equivalent  of The National Campaign for the Arts  was launched a few weeks back. David Shrigley's animation: 'An important message about the arts,' launched the campaign, it's genius.

Offset Pick ‘n’ Mix

The last of my picks for Offset and I've saved the best until last. David O'Reilly, simply an amazing artist, animator, filmmaker and storyteller. His animation: 'Please Say Something' won the Golden Bear in 2009 and became a viral success. O'Reilly's latest project which I can't wait to see is 'The External World.' Did I hear that a sneak preview of this short film would be shown at Offset? Yes / No? I'II just put that wild rumor out there shall I. David O'Reilly, main stage 17:00 - 18:00 October 3rd.

Fur pillows and more….. so much more

Ever since Kanye West joined Twitter a few weeks ago, I've been hanging on his every tweet. Be it his sage financial advice or tips on etiquette, I've been educated and entertained in equal measure. And it gets better! These clever people have taken their fave Kanye-isms and paired them with actual New Yorker cartoons. They just work....love 'em.

Let the Countdown Begin

I am on the Offset 2010 countdown, well it's not too early to start, is it?. There will be loads of great speakers, but I am really looking forward to animator David O'Reilly's talk. David is a really talented animator. This animation 'Please Say Something,' which won the Golden Bear at the 2009 Berlinale, the Cartoon D'or and from his site I see in 2010 it was given a distinction for cultural significance by the German ratings agency FBW (Prädikat Besonderes Wertvoll).
