New animation from Joe Sutlff
Joe Sutliff writes in,
"I have been a fan of live action and animation since I was a kid, and recently I got a chance to create some of my own. Working with Big Picture, Inc., I was the "star" (from the elbow out) of six animations on that most entertaining of topics, "80 Day Hiring Practices for the Air Force Civilian Service." I've posted the first one for your entertainment pleasure (be sure to get popcorn) at http://joesutliff.com/ACSvideos.html.

Hagen's Duckpin of Excellence
I am now the proud owner of Fat Bat by David Hagen - see it here at http://hagenillustration.blogspot.com/2010/05/fat-bat.html
As David wrote to me when he once again reminded me that I had said I wanted to buy it, "The organizer said I had the most public votes for favorite artist from Artomatic@Frederick which meant a lot to me. I love my public!" See David and the award at http://hagenillustration.blogspot.com/
I've got 2 Hagen originals now. I wonder if I can get his Team Cul de Sac original at auction next summer for a trifecta.
