Dragon Stop Motion
How rare to find a really good piece of animation software. I had the chance to use this recently. Very clever, good looking, and intuitive. Shame they don’t do something for 2d animation.

Glad to see this old dirtbag’s finally getting some exposure outside of mainland Europe. He’s a pretty intriguing artist.

“St Sebastian 1610 - 1614”
by El Greco
Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain
Painting, Oil on canvas, 115 x 85 cm
Can’t find a version of this with the legs in but its worth seeing in all its glory at El Prado in Madrid. The grotesque contortion and warping of the figure are worthy of any Francis Bacon. And from a man who lived 500 years before him.
Beautiful.

Your Dreams, My Nightmares
I have been listening to a lot of this podcast recenty. There are very few radio-based things about animation or illustration that interest me but this guy, despite being an accomplished illustrator, is a pretty good interviewer too.

Ronald Searle
Ronald Searle died today. Aside from leaving us with 3/4s of a century’s worth of cool drawings, his sketchbooks from the POW camp at Changi Gaol in Singapore, and later in Thailand, provide some of the saddest and most fascinating pieces of reportage from the second world war. His dedication to observational illustration under the most oppressive conditions, and in the face of very uncertain odds is immensely inspiring to all those of us who sometimes doubt the value of craftsmanship, and its ability to mediate genuine emotion.
I first saw his blood-soaked sketchbooks on a school trip to The Imperial War Museum. It made me look at illustration in a new light. -
