The Triplets of Belleville is a rather odd animated French tale. Awesome movie though, with some very unique music throughout. Excellent surreal animation -we’re especially found of the poor dog’s dream scene.

One of the more enjoyable bits of the movie Persepolis. The animated film was made after Marjane Satrapi’s original comics that detail her life growing up in Iran during and after the Islamic revolution. It’s an incredibly powerful story written from the point of view of an average girl growing up in a war most Westerners have a hard time understanding or empathizing with. It’s her simple telling of her tale that allows outsiders to see her world through her eyes. It helps put one beyond our preconceived notions of what a whole people are like because we’re only allowed access to the media or world’s view of them.

The Taureans are a particular character to be found in my writing and visually seen in my Bete Noir Collection. This is one of the Taurean type prints that I usually do during conventions -the basic Taurean you see in the brief animation is reproduced on fine art paper and I add a scene around her to create a unique print. I’m offering two of these prints through the site to help with I&A site fees. So if you’d like your own strange, one of a kind creature drawing, follow this link to snag one of the two.
