Vintage Toronto
Since as far as I could remember, I’ve been fascinated by Toronto history.  Naturally, BlogTO‘s posts about what this city used to look like are my  favourites.
1001 Nights
1001 Nights from ala sunder on Vimeo. I worked on 1001 Nights, by Yoshitaka Amano, a long time ago when I used to be an animation assistant contracted at Red Rover Animation Studios. I loved this project, and oddly enough I’ve never seen the completed version (with soundtrack and all) until only a few years ago. Posting here for posterity.
Spirited Away…
It’s hard for me to say that I have a favourite movie. Like a lot of people, I’m indecisive, and I like movies depending on the mood I’m in at the time. But whenever someone asks me, the first movie that comes to mind is “Spirited Away”.  There is just so much beauty to this movie on so many levels. […]
Lord of the Rings Stained Glass Art
Art is by Jian Guo, and you can find more of his beautiful stained glass art on Deviantart:  breathing2004.deviantart.com. I came across the LOTR stained glass art on Pinterest (Of course it wasn’t credited, who ever credits artists on social media anymore!).   I’m still poring over all the amazing details.  I couldn’t pick out any favourites, but there’s a […]
The Endless – Wallpaper by Crisvector
Beautiful interpretation of the Endless by CrisVector.  See more of his amazing artwork here: crisvector.deviantart.com If you’re not familiar with The Endless, you should be: NPR’s Book Club Primer on “The Sandman”Â
Twisted Princesses
Jeff Thomas takes our favourite, lovely Disney princesses and kind of warps them a bit. I was never one for the pretty and delicate myself, so I appreciate the twist on the concept, and I love his lines. See more of his twisted princesses here: jefftoonportfolio.blogspot.ca
Fashionable Mutants
I found Kevin Wada’s art through tumblr, or pinterest… (or something). First of all, I love his style and I definitely love how he interprets my favourite Marvel characters. Â The pictures are linked to Geek-Art.net and you can find more on his tumblr here: kevinwada.tumblr.com
Bowies in Space…
Here am I floating in a tin can…. Come on, how can I not repost the first music video to be recorded in Space? A David Bowie cover. By a Canadian. Seriously.
“Bessarion Station is a Home of Beautiful Things”
“Finding Bessarion” is a brilliant documentary where the filmmaker takes us to one of the TTC’s little traveled subway stations. If you live in Toronto but never traveled the TTC just to explore the stations you never had to visit, you’re probably missing out.
This is my city
