Global Jam Exhibition

Great news! "Guard Dog Global Jam"—my volunteer internet collaboration remake of "Guard Dog" has just been accepted into two premiere film festivals – it has its world premiere on opening night at the prestigious SXSW festival, plus it's been invited to the wonderful Florida Film Festival—one of my favorites.

But wait, it gets better: They both want to have a gallery exhibition of artwork from the film!

There is one shot about 4 seconds long, where animator Mike Schneider asked animators from around the world to submit one piece of art of the laughing girl, for one frame each of that 4 second shot.

I hadn't really examined the clip, but thought it looked great integrated into the film. Then two weeks ago on a lark, I examined each drawing separately and it blew my mind. The artwork is amazing!

It was then I asked the two festivals if they wanted to show an exhibition of what I call the "Laughing Girl" art. After sending samples of the artwork, they both said yes.

So if you happen to be in Austin around March 11^th, or Orlando, FL on April 13^th, please come by the festivals and check out the beautiful "Laughing Girl". In fact, we may put all the drawings into a poster. Cool!
