Nice things about winter

Sunny days and skating on a patch of ice

To This Day

I recently participated in the "To This Day" project that has been getting tremendous hits on the internet and the news.For those of you who don't already know, it is a poem  about the delicate issue of bullying and its under emphasized  impacts, beautifully written and recited by Shane Koyczan with a wonderful soundtrack in the background, accompanied now by superb, distinct and different visualizations by artists from across the globe.

The final result can be viewed here- http://tothisdayproject.com/ or here- http://vimeo.com/59956490

As a volunteer effort, it is so nice to see so many animators create such different yet coherent works!

Unfortunately, because the number of submissions exceeded the time available, my entry did not make it to the final version- a real bummer, but this is what I made!

I don't know about that grandma, they're pretty darn amazing!

Water on Ice

A really bad cold

I've been sick the past couple of days, and watching a lot of Rugrats! Such a great show.

Sharing Space-treats and cafes

We had the most delicious Gelato samplings here! Pistachio, chocolate orange, coconut lime, something and mint sorbet, Earl Grey, AND black sesame- which was/ is amazingly delicious if you enjoy the flavour of sesame seeds (which you should if you don't, just so you can enjoy this delicious cold treat). I would have tasted them all and walked out, but guilt kicked in and we shared three delicious scoops out in the mild wintry night.
