The new iPad book Chasing Fireflies launched over Christmas. I created all the background elements that change seasons, weather conditions, and time of day. They dont show it in this trailer, but you can turn your iPad to get a slightly different view for each orientation. Its pretty cool.
Tony and I decided to make a Gingerbread Mansion this year, from scratch. Neither one of us had made a gingerbread house before, but a simple house was not a enough of a challenge. We used 2 batches of Gale Gand’s Gingerbread House recipe, and based on a simple sketch, we figured out the construction as we went. Then we surrounded our mansion with a hillside made from Alton Brown’s Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting. (Special thanks to Savannah for shredding all those carrots!) The trees are made from suger cones dipped in chocolate, then rolled in sprinkles. It was all delicious. Screw the kits!
A weird Christmas present I made for my parents one years when I was home from art school. I totally forgot this existed until the other day when I saw it hanging in their house.
Adorable Duet of the Day: Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie and Kermit the Frog perform “Life’s a Happy Song” — the opening number from the upcoming Muppets movie.
McKenzie, who served as The Muppets’ music supervisor, wrote and/or produced all of the movie’s original songs.

I saw The Muppets last night.
It’s amazing!
I cant get this song out of my head.
Battle Nations is live! From Z2Live, the makers of Trade Nations (and a company I freelance for sometimes,) comes the new iPhone/iPad game that is kind of a mix of Trade Nations and StarCraft. I am so proud to have been a part of this game. Its super fun. I made all the achievement badges and the Nanopods.
