The Saga of Rex and A Search for Meaning

Saturday, August 19th, 2006 by

With Flight 3 now out in bookstores, there has been quite a bit more attention being given to Michel Gagné‘s opening stories in volumes 2 and 3 of Flight (“Inner Sanctum” and “Underworld“, respectively), and especially to the hero of these stories, Rex. It’s worth noting that Michel has plans to eventually compile a 160-page graphic novel of all the Saga of Rex stories that are currently being serialized in the pages of Flight, which is exciting news indeed.

What’s interesting is that Rex has been around for almost a decade, first appearing in Michel’s storybook (and a personal favourite of mine), A Search for Meaning: The Story of Rex. The entire story is available to be read on the web, so if you want to read more about the adventures of this brave little fox, this will definitely be something you’ll want to check out.

Read (or purchase) A Search for Meaning: The Story of Rex here.

Tony Cliff’s Pucca demo reel

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 by

Tony Cliff recently updated his website with all sorts of new stuff, but most notable is his demo reel from season 1 of the Pucca TV series. Tony is one of the lead animators on Pucca, and it’s pretty incredible stuff. We’ve all watched this quite a few times already.
