Last week, we had the great honor of welcoming Andrew Gordon at work. Currently working on Toy Story 3, Andrew worked on a bunch of inspiring films such as a Bug’s Life, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, the Incredibles and Ratatouille! He also runs Splinedoctors.com and from time to time, he gives amazing lectures such as the one he gave at Ubisoft last thursday. Thanks Andrew!

Things are moving fast these days! Last friday, the Tzara gallery in Québec City held its first official exhibit called “Impulsion” (up from february 27th “til March 20th) and I had the honor to have my work (photographs) presented there. So, if you are in the area and want to see what it all looks like, the gallery is located at 375, rue Saint-Paul, Quebec (phone: 418-692-0330)!

Ed Hooks Acting Classes - Montreal

On January 20th (Inauguration day…couldn’t make it back to DC) I went with my colleagues (Ubisoft) to Montreal to attend an acting workshop given by non-other than the great Ed Hooks! We had a blast. This is the second time I have had the chance to meet Ed and it was just amazing. I would really advise anybody who is into animation and/or acting to attend his lectures if you can…There is a lot to be learned from our Shaman friend!
