News

I’m a little late with the news – by now you may have heard that Disney has shut down LucasArts, and then late last week came the news that Disney had also shut down it’s hand-drawn 2d animation studios.

I enjoyed Andreas Deja’s salute to hand-drawn animation. in his blog post that shows the care and hard work that goes into a scene where one character is acted by two animators.

In news closer to home, the Great Squibble Website Overhaul of 2013 continues! As always the site is a work in progress, and to be honest, that’s how I like it. The homepage has had a refresh, and the blog will be next! look out for new updates and projects coming soon.
