2012-01-18T02:22:00.000-08:00

My new animated short "A Bat in Paris" has its world premiere at the Gothenburg International Film Festival 2012 22/1 14:00. Tickets here.

It's a short story of how Bat went to Paris and came back with loads of pictures to show Fox. Fox has all sorts of ideas of what goes on in Paris... and then there was a surprise.

Here's a trailer, more info and stills...

2010-10-01T01:00:00.000-07:00

A game I illustrated - Zogaj Memo Gym - is now available in the App-store:

Zogaj Memo Gym LITE - (free)

Zogaj Memo Gym - iPhone/iPod touch

Zogaj Memo Gym HD - iPad

It actually features two separate games:
Pair play = a take on the classic memory game, but here you have to make your own connections.
Chain play = here you keep track on the order of falling cards.

The trick to remember more cards, than say five, is to create a short story about the images.
Using your imagination really helps to remember. It's like a memory training, a pocket "memo gym".

All images are available even in the LITE (free) version, only it's limited to fewer levels.

"Ralph and Jimmy" at the 2009 Arizona International Film Festival

2009-03-16T02:25:00.000-07:00

My animated short film "Ralph and Jimmy" will be showing at the 2009 Arizona International Film Festival! :D

Here's a link to the trailer, and here's a link to the film's IMDB page.

The film "Ralph and Jimmy" is made by me. However, all the sound is cut from Sid Davis' 1961 classic Boys Beware.

This old "warn-kids-about-gay-men" film is hilarious in its own black and white self, but still... all that music. All those wonderful strings that Sid got to underscore the seriousness of the matter...
I simply felt that all this dramatic music and narration deserved - um - other pictures. So I drew and animated for months and "Ralph and Jimmy" is the result.

Still, great thanks to the late Sid Davis. Sid did 150-180 shorts where he warned kids about all kinds of things: Dangers in the home. Dangers in the street. Dangers of gangs. Dangers for girls. Apparently he took pride in the fact that he rarely exceeded budgets of USD 1000 per film. He also often shot - and acted - in his own films (well, after a while he retired to producing and mountain climbing).

What a wonderful (albeit slightly paranoid) career.

Ralph & Jimmy - Trailer page

2009-01-18T11:57:00.000-08:00

March 18 2008, I started fiddling with the sound to Sid Davis' old Boys Beware and some crude doodles.

In November 2008 a five minute cartoon was ready to send to film festivals.

Just before Christmas I got news that my short Ralph & Jimmy was accepted at the Gothenburg International Film Festival 2009.

And now: here's the trailer! 1.5 minutes. New scenes! World premiere 2009-01-23

please, stop fighting. Try and have a happy new year 2009.

Great Coyote! - Vattenfall CEO "defends" pollution with "Indian" quotes...

2008-05-18T13:21:00.001-07:00

Lars Josefsson, CEO of Vattenfall, the Swedish based power company who runs a number of coal-fired power plants in Germany, quotes "Indian philosophy" when interviewed by Sweden's biggest daily newspaper on wherever his environmental vision went:

Dagens Nyheter:
"How can coal-fire be defined as ecologically sustainable?"

Lars Josefsson:
"That depends on what you mean by ecologically sustainable. According to Indian philosophy you should look six generations ahead. Given that perspective, coal becomes sustainable if you take care of the pollution. There's enough coal for hundreds of years of use."

(my translation)

From the Vattenfall pages: "As a user of fossil fuels, Vattenfall is one of the owners of the climate change issue." Lars G Josefsson, President and CEO

When asked by Dagens Nyheter about the fact that Vattenfall make's a lot larger profits than they have to, and if they lowered their profit margin they'd be able to invest more in sustainable energy, Josefsson replies:

"You can never have too much money."

--- Anyone else feel like they'd rather have six generations of their future "owned" by someone other than this newspeaking "visionary"?

sketches of manhattan...

2007-12-02T03:51:00.000-08:00

It happens people write and ask to use sketches they find here and on my home page. So much I've oogled, I think it's only fair to give something back. Fair and occasionally real fun.

In 1991 I was on a long vacation in NYC, and it was around that time I started to drag around sketchbooks. It was less awkward to stand in the street with pen and paper like some amateur meter maid so far away from home.
Besides, the really worst part was that I had all of NYC splendor in plain view and _still_ couldn't even learn to draw as as nicely as in Spiderman. So, subdued by internal conflicts my fears wore off and before I knew it I climbed roofs to draw - even though I've hated heights all my life.

Either way, you bet I was happily surprised to be mailed from NYC by Mike Walsh who asked to use my watertower sketch.

Of course he got to use it. Best of luck with that record and Merry Christmas, Mike!

I turned forty last Saturday. Heavy on the symbols, 777 and all that jazz. In addition, I'm also now officially an adult --- something that led to thinking on what that entails.

Christopher Hitchens provides the best version I've heard so far. Take 21 minutes and listen, this is probably adulthood at it's finest --- and its most entertaining. Hitchens on free speech:

Bonus = Christopher Hitchens vs Stephen Fry on Blasphemy

Adult = "fully developed"
Entertainment = "a diversion that holds the attention"

wired Pentax SLR remote from an old handsfree.

2007-03-22T16:10:00.000-07:00

Today's McGyver: build yourself a wired remote to a Pentax *ist out of two used headsets.

Take two old cell phone headsets (you'll want those with the small headphones plug).

1. Desolder and cut away mike and earpiece. Save the casing and the answer switches.
2. Clean the wires, resolder one answer switch from tip to earth (shutter), the other from ring to earth (autofocus).
3. Carefully fit the two switches inside of the remains of the old casing.

If you've done something like this before you'll probably be done in under half an hour. You'll need a soldering iron, patience and tape. More instructions here.

As per usual: all experiments are done at your own risk.

Coppola manages to (at least in the trailer) rejuvenate the period piece, the teen drama and the history lesson, all with swift strokes of the same sword.

the time radio

I modified an mp3 player to fit inside a broken 60's transistor radio. I kept all the old controls so you can't tell what's inside (micro switches from a butchered car stereo connecting to the old controls, more pictures here). To complete the illusion I loaded the mp3 player with tons of vintage radio shows

Blaring away garage rock and old mystery shows in the kitchen, the illusion of broadcasts from yesteryear is pretty solid. A few random comments on solar flares and worm holes and I look forward to the Weirdest Neighbor Platinum Award this year. ;)

tarantism

2006-08-31T04:23:00.000-07:00

I knew it! There had to be a word for it.

tarantism (TAR-uhn-tiz-uhm) noun

An uncontrollable urge to dance.
[After Taranto, a town in southern Italy where this phenomenon was experienced during the 15-17th centuries. It's not clear whether tarantism was the symptom of a spider's bite or its cure, or it may have been just a pretext to dodge a prohibition against dancing. The names of the dance tarantella and the spider tarantula are both derived from the same place.]

wikipedia on the ipod

2006-08-25T06:52:00.000-07:00

Yes! After some fidgeting I too squeezed all of wikipedia into the iPod. It clocks in at around 1GB without the pictures, leaving enough space for music. A word of caution: experimenting with the iPod probably voids all warranty, do it at your own risk. I can't offer any support, but here's how I did it and where I got the info:

1. Begin with installing Linux.
2. Do what they tell you here. If you got a PC-iPod, that could be enough. However, I've got a Mac-iPod and had to do the following:
2.1 Open the iPod from Finder/desktop (ie not through iTunes).
2.2 Manually throw away all folders but "Calendars" and "Contacts". (First drag to Trash and then empty Trash).
2.3 Drag-and-drop (copy) everything (16 objects) in epodia-base-system-0.9 straight into your iPod. Please observe, an invisible (17:th) object "iPod_Control" cannot be replaced, but that's not a problem. Just copy everything else.
2.4 Open your newly copied folder "mnt". Inside of there, create a subfolder called "data".
2.5 Into ipod/mnt/data/ put all of language pack ie a folder called "encyclopodia" (which contains the subfolders "system" + "library").
2.6 Into ipod/mnt/data/encyclopodia/library put e-book of choice.
2.7 Disconnect and reboot (press menu + play/pause), then press reverse to boot Linux = run Wiki (pics no, hyperlinks yes).

3. If you get a "not found" when searching, try and press reverse before entering letters, the search field sometimes starts with a blank space. Step back and you should be in business.

Best of luck and great thanks to Wikipedia, Linux on iPod and Robert Bamler.

big city: new definition

2006-08-02T15:40:00.000-07:00

The definition of "big city"? Any burg where people try and ride a one-wheel bike in torrential rain in the middle of the night now qualifies.
