There was a boy

There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye, But very wise was he And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and Kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"

SHE

She looked off INTO the distance as if she KNEW the future...
She looked off INTO the distance as if she had LOST her future...
She looked off INTO the distance as if she had NO future...
She looked off INTO the distance as if she had A future...
She opened her eyes and saw her future smiling back at her.

The Man

There is a man watching, but he is just that, a man.

I recently made an animated film, it's a mixed media film using paintings, drawings, clamation, stopmotion, cutout, and some digitally rendered images... the following is the link to my film on Vimeo. Enjoy and if you have a Vimeo account and like it "like" it for me ;-)

enjoy!

and then it happened...

suddenly as autumn turns to winter

the beautiful bright colors fade away again to grey

and sadly you know the weather has nothing to do with it

just the end of a beautiful trip

now one must return to the dreary dim that is his home.

good night again dear monsters.

San Francisco Pride 2010 { the documentary } from Ancient Astronaut on Vimeo.

This is a documentary that was filmed when I was in San Fransisco with some of my closest friends, and I helped out with this film. Sara Landas did a wonderful job in putting this whole thing together and you can visit her website at: http://www.saralandas.com/
