It’s like an itch I can’t reach. A couple of animation which I would like to watch, but haven’t had the opportunity to. “My Dog Tulip” is an animation feature scheduled to screen at ITFS’10 but didn’t. Imagine my excitement and disappointment. I have to look harder, having my eyes peeled for them in Tokyo and Singapore.

The Illusionist

These pictures were taken along the Meguro river on my daily cycle to work. This year’s sakura trees started flowering around the last week of March and its best viewing period is around first two weeks of April. And it’s so nice to have sakura trees just right outside my house.

I am late in posting these pictures. The flowers are mostly gone now and the greens are out!

‘Hush Baby’ is selected for Internationale Trickfilm-Festival Stuttgart, Germany, which is taking place 4-9 May ‘10. It is competing in the ‘Young Animation’ category, screening on 5 and 6 May.
