Danita's Children

The Hope for Haiti Children's Center is an orphanage in Haiti that houses around 70 orphaned children, it is run by a woman named Danita. These children, before they came to live with her, were starving, neglected, abused and in some cases on the verge of death. I found out about this organization when one of the missionaries visited my wife's office (she used to work there). My wife was so moved by what these missionaries had done in Haiti that when she came home she told me we were going to do what we could.....she wasn't asking, so I couldn't say no :)

I didn't know much about Haiti until I had heard of Danita's Children. I now know that it is the only 4th world country in the western hemisphere. ( I didn't even know that there were 4th world countries)I know that sometimes starving parents have to choose which one of there children will eat that day..and which one will starve. I know that because of a failed government, a failed social structure, a failed educational system, and a failing agricultural environment...this place is has become what some of us would consider worse than hell.

I also know that some of the most beautiful people live their lives there. I have a picture of a little boy named Wooby on my refrigerator. We sponsor him with a monthly payment and a package of coloring books. There are a lot of children in Haiti, and Danita, from what I know of her, will do all that she can to feed and cloth and shelter as many children as she possibly can, which I can imagine is no easy task... this isn't a one person solution...more help is needed.

The little boy in the picture above....his name is Jameson, he has a tragic and amazing story. If you get he opportunity...please...take a few minutes to look at the website. You can read about Jameson and some of the other children that are getting the chance at life that they deserve. If you think you can help...I couldn't imagine a place where your time and/or money would be put to better use.

Remaking the Stooges?????

Here's an article that i just read about the Farrely Brothers remaking "The 3 Stooges" so that they can be introduced to todays audiences....Check It

Wha....Huh????????? That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of since "The Loonatics" cartoon travesty. If you want to introduce them to a new audience, take them to Best Buy and get the real deal.

Somebody poke me in the eye and slap the back of my head....I've just lost hope in all of humanity :(

A shot from my short film

A shot I worked on over the weekend for my short short film, "The Proposal." I have not added any of the dynamics for when he takes off....but you get the point.

It's small....I need to figure out how to upload these things at a decent resolution. I'll get around to that....maybe :)

I'm using Jason Ryan's Boris rig that he was kind enough to allow me to use. Jason's got some super awesome animation stuff going on over on his site


UPDATE: Here's a bigger version :) Bigger Version
