"Written by Norton Juster based on his own story, The Dot and the Line tells of a line who falls in love with a bouncy, lively dot. It may seem strange that a relatively representational illustrator/animator like Jones would turn to abstract forms to tell a story, but what could be more natural to him that paying homage to the building blocks of his profession and when better than during the explosion of pop and op art of the 1960s. But what about the subtitle, 'A Romance in Lower Mathematics?'"

Basically all I've listened to for the past 24 hours.

Just the in-between parts.

Little bit amazing: "This Zoetrope was produced by the artists at Pixar to coincide with a show at the Museum of Modern Art and is currently on display at the Disney California Adventure hotel. Hundreds of little models are placed on a spinning platform and when it rotates you get Pixar animation in 'real' 3D."

Oh, yes, I want one of these. Can someone get one for me?

Awesome 6-degrees book idea — six double-page spreads that will be filled out, then passed to the most famous person that contributor knows, with the results getting charity auctioned for Xmas. Really curious to see whose hands this eventually lands in (and where it starts, actually).

God dammit I'm really trying to avoid buying this but it looks ridiculously necessary.

Giant Robot puts up a buncha Kochalka videos (interviews and music) following his GR2 LA art show. I bought the Glorkian painting over the internets!
