Animated Art.

The NY Times blogger/author Jeff Scher did a great Op/Ed piece that included animated art about his son Buster. The film is has a contrasting dichotomy of displaying parental POV, but also very childlike in it's quality and aesthetic. 

You Might Remember This
I think its a shining example of the digital medium and artistic production, with fractured small fragments composing the whole memory.

"I will remember them all, having now engraved them in memory with crayon, paint and pencil."


I am continuously fascinated by the idea of truth, representation of subjective reality and the evolution of memories over time. I think this follow-up piece is wonderfully composed, a view of a child's life through a father's eyes. Also, Happy Father's Day. Now, maybe, you should call your father...
