Keita Takahashi (of Katamari Damacy, We ♥ Katamari, and Noby Noby Boy fame) recently posted these adorable dot com photos of hand-made princes, cousins, boy and girl plushes by his sister. What a talented family! I actually "met" one of the boy plushes last year at IndieCade at the same time I met Keita. He was very friendly, and made me smile!
Well folks in case you haven't heard, LIMBO is out on Xbox Live today. I posted about the game by Playdead back in December, saw it in action on the floors of GDC, and have been waiting to play it myself for what feels like ages. It's getting rave reviews across the board (with a stunning metacritic score of 92!) so do yourself a favor and play it.
Play it for me too since, *long-awkward-frustrated-sigh*, I am currently unable to download it. No ethernets in the .tiff domicile. Stupid stupid .tiff (calling internet provider now).
STUFF & THINGS. from Jack Cunningham on Vimeo.
For you readers, an enchanting animated short by Jack Cunningham called STUFF & THINGS that I've had the good intention of posting for a while. The reel's title does a fine job explaining what you'll see in the video, a quick sequence of colorful, sometimes pixelated things and stuff. So enjoy!
P.S. Helloooo Monday. How were your weekends? I went adventuring across the wild hills of Noe Valley, saw Inception (not bad), Six Feet Under (interesting), and Breaking Bad (also interesting). What did you do?
Much like the celebrated art game Passage, I shouldn't say too much about what goes on in the game pOnd by Peanut Gallery Games without risking the chance of ruining a player's unique experience. It's a browser game, so everyone can try it out. Just take a breath, go forth and walk into pOnd. Let me know what you think.

Floating around Facebook the other night I came across a former Vassar colleague's painting portfolio site and was, well, kind of blown away. Corydon Cowansage was in two of my painting classes and undoubtedly one of the better painters of us Studio Art majors (and way way better than me by far, I never could 'get' oils). Now she's at RISD for grad school and her work keeps getting better and better. See all of her work on her site. Can't wait to see her get famous.
