Ollie's Three Fairies

Frank and Ollie animated most of the personality scenes with the Three Fairies in "Sleeping Beauty". Ollie said that originally Walt wanted them to have the same personality, like Donald Duck's nephews.  "That wouldn't have been too much fun", Ollie remembered, "so Frank and I suggested they'd have different personalities".  And the picture is much richer because of the contrast between the three. But it goes to show you that Walt took his top animators suggestions seriously. Here are three rough animation set ups, it's just that these beautiful drawings by Ollie aren't that rough.

The first image, which was drawn on there different levels, shows them reacting to Maleficent in the opening sequence of the movie.

Afraid and Ashamed - A Poem for my Wife

This is a small poetic offering to my wife. Those of you readers who are long-time Anglicans should easily recognize the source and inspiration for this poem.               Afraid and Ashamed But, O my love, who all my weakness knows, And my corruption, how it overflows; How comes it that you daily send me out, To meet with temptings manifold and stout? Whence comes such holy strength and bravery? (In view of my historic knavery!) God's Spirit gives continuous assistance, To make you brave and end all my resistance, That I may be effectually restrained From sin, and to my duty be inclined. I dread your holy judgments, gentle lover, In case my pondered misdeeds you discover. But, too, with grateful sense I shall endeavor To recollect your goodness to me ever. Feeling thus, I craft this verse to send you, Both afraid and ashamed to offend you. © 2012, Paul Erlandson

The Aston Martin DB9 coupe and Volante convertible is in fact the ninth model to be sold with these hallowed letters, and carries on a sterling automotive tradition. Sold throughout the 1950s and ’60s, and then resurrected in 1994, the DBs were and still are some of the most drop-dead gorgeous and performance-capable sports cars on the road. Numerous examples ...
