They call themselves the Lovely Angels, actually

This is the very James Bond-looking opening scene for a movie based on the Dirty Pair anime, and one of the most amazing pieces of animation I've seen. Key animation was done by my hero (well, one of them), Koji Morimoto.
I love the color usage in the backgrounds, the amount of detail shown in the line quality, and all the cool stuff happening.



The funny thing is that this totally gets you in the mood for a 007-style spy movie, when in reality the story is a sci-fi action comedy romp with hilarity ensuing everywhere. The main characters are only shown at the beginning, then it's a lot of awesome dramatic abstract imagery. I can't think of a better contradiction! (...at the moment!)

I made these flower illustrations 3 years ago, intending to make a calendar or something but haven't figured out how to make it look interesting yet...

Hang in there

Dedicating this song to Sarah:

Thank you

Thank you all for wishing Sarah a speedy recovery. They told her at the hospital last night that they saw a few blood clots in her lungs (they said it was pneumonia at first). That explains the blood she was coughing up on Saturday, and the extreme pain she was experiencing that led me to drive her to the ER.

I was really scared last night, but she's doing a lot better now! The pain isn't nearly as bad thanks to the medication (morphine for the win, or something). I left the hospital at 7am this morning, and just woke up at 3:30. Hopefully the jetlag won't affect me too badly at work tomorrow, haha.

Thank you all again!
