I don't have the patience to be a true conspiracy theorist, but I do believe the following: that the government is not to be …

Columbia High School Documentary: One School

Impressive student documentary of all the intense events that happened at my high school the year after I graduated, when students decided to join together to bring about change and unify the school. Really inspiring. How have I not seen this until now? Why isn't this …

Cal Disorientation

I just finished the cover for the 2008 Cal Disorientation guide. Inspired by Jono's tattoo.

Kucinich on Sex (awwwwww!)

csssa pals venture into the cosmic altered mind

During summer 2004 I spent 4 weeks intensively studying & making animation at CalArts through CSSSA (ambitious/masochistic young animators, check it out). This past week I got news from two of my favorite people from that summer. First, my friend Winona found me on …
