Animation Time! - Pipe Slide Part 3


Today's Inspiration:
the fruits of self-overcoming...The direct positive way - through progressive liberation - passing from the lesser realization of the body, to the greater realization of the mind, and therefrom to the realization of the infinite through the soul; and the direct negative way -through disillusionment - which comes of infatuation with things in themselves, and the inevitable passing thereof.

Animation Time! - Sword Attack Part 1


Today's Inspiration:
It is quite easy to acquire any particular style [of humor] after its creator has produced enough of it to make the brand familiar ... The soul only is lacking.

Animation Time! - Businessman Rig


Today's Inspiration:
It is the organ of his sense of wonder and wonder can be stirred not only by the strange and new, but by rediscovering the accustomed. In fact the value of the artist's gift centers about the fact that he sees what other people see, but he sees in an enhanced way.
