Just thought I’d let everyone know about my upcoming animated project which will premiere in Vancouver on June 25th, 2010. I’ve wanted to do a project such as this for many years, ever since I discovered the abstract work of Oscar Fischinger, Norman Mclaren, Kandinsky and Yves Tanguy. I got started in 2006, and now, four years later, I’m finally going to be able to share this work with an audience.

Using cutting edge technology, I will be performing the animation with the musicians, creating a dialogue between music and images that should be quite exciting. I would like to point out that the seven musicians involved in the project are all fantastic and are worth the price of admission all by themselves. So if you’re in Vancouver on June 25th, you might want to check it out! Tickets can be purchased here.

You can read about how the project came about here.

Flight 6 has been nominated for this year’s Eisner Award for Best Anthology! If I’m not mistaken, this is the second nomination for Flight (the previous nomination was for Flight 2, I believe).

Big congratulations are in order for all the nominees, and of course to some of the Flight alumni: Derek Kirk Kim and Gene Yang for Best Short Story, and Steve Hamaker for Best Coloring. Way to go, guys!
