  • Fundraising for Boston Terriers

    Ever since we completed production on our movie – Los Campeones, one of my side projects has been drawing dogs to raise funds for BostonBuddies, the non-profit Boston Terrier rescue organization that I have been fostering for; also where I adopted my own dog. (Yes, you may count me in as a “crazy dog person”) All the medical care received by these rescued dogs are paid for by donations, so I came up with this deal: “I will draw your dog in exchange for your donation to BostonBuddies”, and in the past 2-3 weeks, I have several commissions and raised a few hundred dollars. If you are a BT lover like me and would like to help save and provide care for more BTs, here is more info on the BostonBuddies website.

  • ‘That Man From Rio’ (1964)

    “How do you like the new Brazil?” Adolfo Celi asks Francoise Dorleac.  And we like it just fine.  This is a fantastic romp that starts in Paris, travels to the shanty towns of Rio, glides through the super streamlined architecture of the new Brasilia, then ends in the jungle, where suddenly we see the price of the ‘new Brazil’.  Jean-Paul Belmondo hops continents, navigates high-rise scaffolding, hangs out of an airplane, takes on a whole bar of waterside hoodlums, and performs more daring feats than anyone in the course of a 112 min movie, yet still manages to look only slightly pained by it all. 

    Unfortunately the movie only seems available on VHS, so the quality of these images isn’t great.

  • A Kentucky Fried Cartoon

    Eddie: This commercial played in Australia when I was about 12 years old.  It wasn’t on TV that much, but when it was, I remember thinking it was the best thing ever!
