Tory Hughes sent in a link to this cool video – make your own bioplastic with household ingredients: vinegar, glycerin, starch and water. You can even laser cut shapes from the plastic sheet.
New art material? If you try it let me know how it turns out!

The New Zealand Book Council’s outstanding preview for celebrated author Maurice Gee’s book Going West is a beautiful marriage between paper arts and animation. The brilliant work of siblings Martin and Line Andersen, this fast-paced animation was made with pages from the actual book!

Enjoy a little commercial break while I prepare today’s post. I will be at the Synergy conference in February 2010 and hope to see DAM readers there. Let me know if you are going – I would love to meet you!
Check back this afternoon for your daily dose of inspiration. Thanks to Seth Savarick for this beautifully crafted teaser (can’t believe how perfectly matched the music is – really builds the excitement).

Who doesn’t like a happy ending? Recent Ringling College of Art and Design graduate Lindsey Olivares’ senior thesis animation is a sweet reminder to have a little faith. If you are having a difficult day and you feel like you want to give up…or if you are having a good day and you can see that happy ending in the distance, I think you will find this film uplifting. I know I did.
The talented Olivares is now working at Dreamworks PDI as a Visual Development artist. They were smart to grab her – I predict that she will have a long, successful career. Congratulations Lindsey.
My week is getting off to a topsy-turvy start, so while I set it upright and back on its course enjoy this image of blueberries ripening. Isn’t it great? Then watch the trailer for The Mighty Humble Blueberry, an award-winning documentary about the little fruit that could. This time of year I eat blueberries every day…and every night. The little fruit that could. Yes, this.
