So, I know I'm teetering on the edge of fanboyness here...

But I had to show you guys one more thing by Jon Klassen.  I didn't actually know this existed until a couple days ago, so I feel justified blogging about him twice. 

Anyway, this here video is called "An Eye for Annai" and it is one of the most badass things I have seen all year.  And yes, that includes the new Star Trek Movie, Up, and Ellen Page at the coffee shop (author's note: she is seriously tiny.  Like, I'm pretty sure she could fit into a duffel bag and ship herself places if she didn't want to pay for a plane ticket.)

And the fine folks at youtube were kind enough to let me post this, so you don't even need to click anywhere to watch this.  Just scroll down a skootch, and enjoy some super fine animation. 


Now, did I lie about how effing cool that was?  Goddamn I wish I could draw stuff. 

You know, I've been thinking about art quite a bit the last few days, and I really think I want to start sharing some of the stuff that I dig that's out there.  So, expect more of these "stuff you will likes" in the future.  And I promise not all of them are going to be about Jon Klassen.  Just some.  A goodly bit of some, perhaps, but definitely not all.
