Le Caine: the site and Slamdance
A new and beautiful site has just been launced by Tania Covo in the UK. It’s dedicated to the illustration art of Errol Le Cain.
It includes a complete listing of Errol’s books with sample illustrations. It also has a page of animation illustrations, including a couple for Dick Williams‘ Cobbler and the Thief.
This is something that’s been long overdue, and I have to congratulate Ms. Covo for having done such a beautiful job of it. I’ve added the link to my splog.
In the past, I’ve posted several pages each dedicated to a different one of Mr. LeCain’s books, and I hope to put up another soon. These are links to past such posts:
Thorn Rose
Pied Piper of Hamelin
12 Dancing Princesses
Have You Seen My Sister
Hiawatha’s Childhood
Tuesday, FPS put up a connection to the animated shorts that would be screened at Sundance. Likewise, the Slamdance Film Festival has announced their schedule of animated shorts for this year’s festival. There seems to be a preponderance of puppet films. The festival usually has a more experimental bent in their choices, and it looks to be the same this year.
Many of these films will grace the next year’s animation festivals, so it’s nice to get a head’s up on the list.
To read more about these films go to: Animated Shorts. The list of titles and directors includes:
Africa Parting Directed by Robyn Yannoukos and Brian LoSchiavo (7 minutes)
The Ballad of Mary Slade Directed by Robin Fuller (3 minutes)

The Animation Guild Blog has begun their Remembrance of those from the animation community who died last year. It’s become an important part of our year – to look back on the lives of those we’ve been connected to.
