January 12, 2016 : R.I.P. Topless Robot

Topless Robot, a site I frequently visited, has recently closed shop. Providing copious amounts of Nerd News, it earned it’s tagline: Unofficial Sponsor of Your Inner Childishness. In fact, several posts for this blog came from or was inspired by Topless Robot.

The website went through its share of changes over the years, including switching editors three years back. However, the site continued to produce a whole lot of nerd-based entertainment. It even recently changed names (and domain) to ‘The Robot’s Voice’, with the hope to increase its credibility and exposure in the blogging/ news community.

Sadly, the site could not maintain its financial sustainability. While I have other sites to fill the void, I will miss Topless Robot. After all, they hooked me with their awesome name so many years ago.

July 19, 2011 : John Celestri’s New Blog

I guess experienced animators starting a blog has become a trendy thing as of late. Animation veteran, John Celestri, joined the club. The blog, John The Animator Guy, has a lot of insight on the production side of animation… ranging from X-Sheets to Script Writing specifically for animation.

The above is just one of many cool drawing that is sprinkled throughout the website. I even saw a few cool Batman images… sweet!

June 14, 2011 : Andreas Deja Reflects On Disney’s Nine Old Men

Disney animation veteran Andreas Deja has entered the world of blogs. Deja has worked at Disney for over 30 years and possesses a great deal of knowledge and skill. Even cooler, he also has had countless encounters with Disney’s Nine Old Men.

The blog, which is just over a week old, is filled with stories about these various legends of animation. He shares many lessons learned from them along with drawings they did over the years. He has even included pencil tests of theirs. Truly amazing work.
