My good friend Ian Samuels is getting underway with his CalArts senior thesis in Directing. Ian and I have collaborated on numerous projects (including our upcoming children’s book) and he has a terrific imagination. If you can spare even $5 to help support his film it would be much appreciated!

Visit and donate at his Kickstarter page.

And just as a fun tease, here are a couple of designs I did for him early on for this film (they ended up being a little too muppety, and not lobstery enough. Based on that sentence alone, you know this project will be bizarre and entertaining!):

Disney Producers vs Animators volleyball game, circa 1980. Notice Tim Burton’s striped black and white undershirt with the “Batman” shirt over it…hilarious. John Musker is the announcer.

From Buzzfeed: A strangely compelling electronica song (and video) composed of sounds from the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland. Made by a 19-year-old in Australia, “Alice” kind of lulls you into a state of semi-consciousness filled with Cheshire cats and flowers wielding batons.

I love this. Download the MP3 (and 2 other Alice-related songs) here.

This Donald short takes place in San Francisco! And it’s got great background design and color.
