Masks, Make Up & Making It Up As We Go Along
I hope you had a fabulous weekend with Halloween, Dia de los Muertos & for those who made it to the Eerie Expo, it was *great* to see you there!

Fun Film Friday: Mr Hublot
So I've been in a steampunk-y mood ever since I visited the Springfield Museum's Steampunk exhibit: Re-Imagining An Industrial City (more on this later) and it put me in a mind to offer up some Victoriana future-past eye candy. What better than Oscar-winning short film, Mr Hublot?Pascal Thiuebaux's short pushes all my animation and sentimental ( Read more... ) -
