I created this website to showcase Black Canadian industry veterans in animation a few years ago. It's appropriate to bump it up again this Black History Month.

I did not realize that DaVinci Resolve was free. I'm off all Adobe products and I don't miss their software suite.
A very strange place.

I feel good again. I spent the last few years just striving to get back to health physically. Major issues suddenly resolved last month after persistent & frustrating effort.
I had no idea how much I unconsciously avoided doing things. It's great to move freely again.

I htink I read every book with Jody Lee's cover art on it when I was a teenager. Think Mercedes Lacky, Lloyd Alexander, Michelle Sagara & more of your favs.
