Sad news from our friends in Canada, animator Ryan Larkin has died. I loved his work and perhaps some of you did too. I am sure most of you have either seen the Oscar nominated, "Walking" or the literally hundreds of shorts and commercials who have drawn from it. He also contributed to the huge animated cult hit, "Heavy Metal." A very unique and phenominally talented man.

Sadly, he will never see this, his latest project, completed:

He had a very interesting, and frankly tragic life. Here are a few places to explore:
