As you can imagine, we are pretty excited about Greg Simkins’ (interviewed) show tomorrow; especially after getting a glimpse at the body of work during our studio visit. The show opening at Gallery1988 (LA) entitled “The Pearl Thief” is about a monster who travels the globe stealing people’s imaginations – “pearls,” if you will.

Video: “Destino” – Salvador Dali x Disney Collaboration

Posted by sleepboy, October 20, 2009

This is the first time we have seen the fabled “Destino” short film collaboration in full between Disney and Salvador Dali. Originally started in 1946, the project was benched because of financial reasons or whispers of the content being too extreme – who really knows what happened? Finally in 2003 (57 years later), a team of Disney animators finished what Dali started and the film made its way around some film festivals. It may have been released to the general public eventually, but we may […]
