Captain Mealticket A Count Named Slick-Brass and a boarding party from The Aeronautical Salvage Scout Titilus will be in Waltham, MA this weekend. This is a family-friendly event! So, heads up if you’re local.  We wish we could join them, but our pilot season schedule doesn’t permit.

So, instead of the side-by-side video on our 3D tests, you’ll see them as a single video. You can change how the video appears for your 3D device by selecting an option from the new 3D drop down menu. Of course for our 2D content, nothing will change.

The next stereoscopic test is coming soon, we promise.

Cut us a break, it’s pilot season.

No, really, draw everything you can, as much as you can.

John K. the animation mastermind best known for Ren & Stimpy draws amazing caricatures from tabloids.

You can check them out at his blog.

This particular set inspired me:

He also offers fantastic tutorials and advice for the budding animator.

It’s $35 and will (with the right content) turn your iPhone/iPod Touch into a 3D screen. We first heard about it over at Giz, and got ours yesterday.

Thanks for putting up with this garbage.
