12 Drawings A Day

Animator Denis Chapon did 12 drawings a day over the course of 3 years. We think the resulting animation is hypnotic, inspirational... and pretty awesome. We would offer a description, but that would spoil the experience- just watch it!

The Oscars and more

If you were anywhere within a 100 yard radius of Biospace 1 yesterday afternoon, you would have heard a whole lot of noise- specifically, the sound of a studio full of Bots cheering.

Why? 

Because "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" has made the Academy Awards shortlist! "Morris" is listed among the ten films selected to advance in the next level of the voting process. The final nominations will be announced live on Tuesday, January 24, 2012.

Meet William Joyce this weekend at Barnes & Noble (map) in Shreveport.  That's right, it's time for another book signing!  Beginning at 1 PM this Sunday December 4th, William Joyce will be on-hand signing copies of The Man In The Moon and Nicholas St North and the Battle of the Nightmare King. We hope to see you there!
