A Public Service Announcement from Dr. ZoloThis animation is coming along nicely.  My plan has been to finish it up before I begin teaching again on the 25th of August… which has been no problem.

Summer Vacation!

Wow, the semester is already over… the nice thing about teaching at a university is that you get out at the same time the students do. I have 2 weeks off starting today, then I start a 6 week intensive “Digital 2D Character Animation” Class.  I have plenty of time to put the syllabus together…
