That absolutely delightful video that you see abouve was created by Jessica Borutski. I first saw her work mentioned on John K‘s excellent blog which you can read/follow HERE Jessica is currently working on an upcoming Bunny Movie, which judging by the previews on her website, should be amazing!

I have been playing around with this little Veoh player recently. It works nicely. Here’s a Saturday afternoon treat for you all, Boris Karloff in Mad Monster Party, which is a wonderful slice of 60′s stop motion animation. Watch, enjoy and if you like it, go buy the dvd. ^_^ The kid sounds eerily like [...]
This is for anyone who has decided to quit cigarettes this Year. Don’t bother. Look! Fred Flintstone And Barney Rubble do it, and they’re cool….right? No, they’re not, they’re both dead, but I thought it would be interesting to show you these two gems from the good old days when we all lived to the [...]

What? You want me to try and be highbrow about this? Not gonna happen. Bwa Ha. Ha Ha Ha. Although why in the world we are importing salt from the UK rather than using the grit taken from areas that contain high salt levels as they are by sea water is beyond me. Still, that’s [...]
A black rabbit silhouetted against a darkened sky, caught in a vicious snare that will almost surely end his life by slow suffocation. This is not a PETA campaign poster, or an animal rights campaign, but the cover of a children’s movie.
