An Exhibit Of Unspeakable Things

November 9th, 2007 by Aeron Alfrey
 The Maison d'Ailleurs Museum of science fiction, utopia and extraordinary journeys is hosting an excellent exhibit inspired by the writings of H.P Lovecraft found in his commonplace book. The exhibit was designed to commemorate the 70th anniversary of H. P. Lovecraft's death and will be on display from October 28th 2007 to April 6th 2008. Artists involved in the exhibit include H.R GigerPhilippe Caza, David Paleo, Fufu Frauenwahl, and dozens of other artists including myself. For a full list of artists involved and additional information about the exhibit, visit this page from the Maison d'Ailleurs website.  If you can't make it to the show there is a collection of photos on display at flickr here.   And for those interested, a billingual catalogue of works from the show (128 pages, 90 illustrations) is being made and will be available from Maison d'Ailleurs and Payot bookstores.

Russian Animator - Katerina Maximova

November 9th, 2007 by Jon Beinart

Released in 2004 by School-Studio Shar (a part of Pilot studio), "Blue Pool" was the directorial debut for a young Katerina Maximova, also doing the art direction and screenplay.

Having worked as an animator on Ivan Maximov's 2003 animation "Slow Bistro" and being a student at the animation school where Maximov was a prominent teacher, her influences can be clearly seen. Katerina however, gives a lighter and brighter look to her animation.
