The Stonecutter - animated version of a japanese folktale

this is my thesis film from USC. as it's heavily influenced by Usagi Yojimbo i thought people here might appreciate it.

cheers,
will

thanks man. i was set to take the pictures with my very cheap camera when my roommate walked in and offered me the use of his lovely DSLR.

if i'd used my camera i never would have gotten that DOF.

plush Usagi

this was a present from my best friend many years ago. he bought the stuffed rabbit but made the costume himself. if you look close you'll see he even added the scar. http://www.flavoroftheweak.com/stuff/usagi_shrine/usagi_plush_001_web.jpg http://www.flavoroftheweak.com/stuff/usagi_shrine/usagi_plu...

my best friend made that for me. he bought the rabbit and sewed the costume (also added stitches for the scar) as a present.

i'll get some better photos and post them in the fan art section.

figured you might have seen that one already. i can see how the newspaper sized Little Nemos might not read well on a smaller screen.

his reasoning makes sense. it sounds like owning the Turtles had become a full time job. now he can focus on other things and he doesn't have to worry much about making a profit.

can't blame him at all. i'm really curious to see what Nickelodeon does. they've made some really good shows.

according to wiki, he acted in Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sekai_Ninja_Sen_Jiraiya, but that's all i can find.

Hanzo was a character in Shinobi No Mono, though i don't recall Hatsumi doing appearing on screen in that.

the only good site i know is http://www.comicstriplibrary.org/.

that has Winsor McKay stuff and Krazy Kat. i'd think the formate of Winsor McKay's stuff would actually work well for the E-reader, since it's taller than it is wide.

i'm not aware of this.

i know that he and Takamatsu Sensei were consultants for Shinobi No Mono, http://shinobinomono.oninohana.com/. i highly recommend the series.

i did a little Bujinkan long ago and my brother has been fortunate enough to go to Japan and train with Hatsumi.
