Jennifer Cox, Little girls know all the secrets. Otro fragmento en Vimeo del corto “Little girls know all the secrets” (2005)
Children always seem to know what is important in life, everything for them is black and white, full of passion, it is either want or not want, it is live life to the fullest, it is a complete new way of viewing things, much purer and full of enthusiasm: things in their eyes always have a much more mysterious and complicated explanation than for us adults, this is why I always make sure that I am surrounded by children.
I took all of these photographs as a way of preserving their childhood for them; I also took them as a thank you for accepting me as one of them without ever questioning my intentions and because they have given me so much without even knowing it.Jennifer Cox, Childhood

Chris Ware, Quimby The Mouse. Un vídeo animado por John Kuramoto para “This American Life—Live!”. La canción es “Eugene” de Andrew Bird.
Painfully funny, his sharp wit specializes in an alternative kind of schadenfreude: a kind where we feel we are laughing at our own misery.Andrew D. Arnold, A Mouse; A House; A Mystery
FAIL, lulz o el gran deleite derivado de las desgracias de los demás. Otro minucioso estudio de algunos misterios de la vida. La animación es de John Kuramoto, un especialista en recortar personajes de viñetas para transformarlos en marionetas digitales y encancerlarlos en animaciones Flash. Mirad el trailer del genial David Boring de Daniel Clowes, el sitio web de Doug Allen y, también, Lost Buildings; una animación sobre los edificos de Louis Sullivan en Chicago que acompaña la presentación (espectáculo) de Chris Ware e Ira Glass junto al historiador y protector del pasado de la Nueva Gotham Tim Samuelson.
Lo he visto en: Drawn! (Chris Ware’s Quimby the Mouse animated); Laughing Squid (Animation of Quimby The Mouse Comic by Chris Ware For This American Life — Live!); we love typography (Quimby the Mouse by Chris Ware).
Por cierto, la fachada de 846 Valencia es una maravilla mundial.
