So glad I spotted this fun little flick over at GeekTyrant earlier today. If you have 15 minutes check out this Oscar short films contender, adapted from Shaun Tan's book The Lost Thing.

The"Official Synopsis", nicked from GeekTyrant:

"A boy discovers a bizarre looking creature while out collecting bottle tops at the beach. Realising it is lost, he tries to find out who owns it or where it belongs, but is met with indifference from everyone else, who barely notice its presence, each unwilling to entertain this uninvited interruption to their day to day lives. For reasons he does not explain, the boy empathises with the creature, and sets out to find a ‘place’ for it."

Pop over to G.T. for more about the author & production. I've embedded the film here, but I know my format tends to cut off the edges of the  video screen. Click here to see the full short over at Geek Tyrant.

Enjoy!

Dang. I'm extra slow this week. I was saving this for Tuesday but the week's getting away from me: A little time-waster that is worth checking out, especially if you remember the 80s: www.dustfilms.com/literalvideos

Been stocking some valentine supplies in the ColorTheSky shop today - the cool thing is they've been flying off the "shelf" almost as soon as I list them! Wish I had more time - I have many many more things to upload. C'est la vie

Little guy is home this week with an asthma-type cough. All day at the docs yesterday yielded a new med which seems to be helping (yay!). However not much gets done besides Nurse-Mommy stuff.

Have to run. Hope you're having a creative day!
