The Valley of Ashes.

When I drove into Vancouver last weekend, the air was sweltering.

There was a buzz on the streets of Strathcona.

People were milling around the Ukrainian Hall.

The Valley of Ashes was about to begin.

Now that’s the best footage I can find, and it surely doesn’t do it justice. The amazing shadow work is barely represented. However, it’s a taste.

I was floored.

The Dusty Flower Pot Cabaret are amazing. Check them out here.

Cartoon werewolf.

Every once in awhile an idea turns out better than you expected.

When I set out to plan my middle school class for the Spring, I made the crazy decision to attempt shadow masks. I’d never made them, and didn’t have any resources to explain the technical details to me. Tonight I took on the task, throwing caution into the shadows.

And like that I’m a frickin’ cartoon werewolf.
