Alaska Robotics

• Comic – Owl

I found out Athena’s owl is named Glaucus which means something like glaring eyes. Then I fell waaaaaaaay down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.

On January 19th and 20th we’re doing a screening of our work in Anchorage.

Thursday, January 19th @ 7:30 pm

This show is open to all ages and features content suitable for most ages. A bit of language mostly but nothing a proper twelve year old hasn’t already heard or seen.

Friday, January 20th @ 9:30 pm

This show has the same program but is limited to people over the ages of 21 because we’ll have the bar open. Should be fun!

Both shows are at the Alaska Experience Theatre on classy 4th ave. and tickets are available online or at the door.

If you’re going to make bad decisions, make good bad decisions.

• Comic – Rebound

The Northwest Film Center celebrated their 40th birthday by hosting a 40 second film challenge. They’re a really great organization and resource so if you’re in Portland be sure to stop and see what kind of classes and workshops they’re offering.

Thanks to Izzy Christenson and Mircea Brown for collaborating with me on these fun little projects and thanks to Stephanie and Marian for helping out with the sets and vocal coaching.

You can see Mircea’s real documentary on Vimeo or catch it at the JUMP Society Film Festival in February. It’s not about base fishing. It’s about happiness.

… And of course a big Happy Birthday to the Northwest Film Center! You guys rock!

I made this as a greeting card for the Juneau International Airport, it’s a modified version of a giant aluminum print I’ve been working towards. You might already have one in the mail but I wanted to share it here for anyone who might have missed it.

I hope you have a the best Christmahanaquanzika ever… and a Happy New Year!

A little Zelda fan art inspired by Corey Godbey.

I drew some bears.

We’ve got a limited run of 8×10 (50) and 16×20 (10) prints in our store if you’d like one on your wall.

Fade In.

Fairbanks. The screen is still black because the sun is lazy in this part of the world. It’s negative forty and the students have built a climbing wall by sticking soft serve ice cream cones to the side of a dorm… but we don’t call them dorms, they’re only referred to as residence halls because someone thought that might help with the rampant depression and alcoholism. It didn’t.

You get the idea, UAF was a weird place to go to school. Dark, cold and full of moose.

There was also a film festival.

This compilation of the first four years worth of films was put together by Paul Gentemann in 2004. You might recognize some of these fresh young faces and pay particularly close attention at the 2:50 mark.

John Bolds is posting a bunch of these old films to YouTube and he’ll probably get shut down for the copyright violations soon so catch them while you can!

I made some gingerbread last night with Marian and our friend Tara.

Marian wanted to do a Hoth scene which I thought was great.. so I stole the idea and got to work.

My AT-AT fell over and my landscaping sucked but I think the mini-figures pulled it all together.

Here’s the micro AT-AT. It’s the best little imperial stomper thing ever. Stomp stomp stomp.

Tara made Baba Yaga’s chicken hut, note the chicken feet and trails of candy to lure in plump Russian children.

Marian made the best Trogdor cookie ever, complete with consummate v’s.

We’re supposed to light the village on fire tonight, maybe I’ll get another picture.
