Whats up, Doc?

The Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) is having a show on classic Warner Brothers cartoons. The whole WB crew is there - Bugs, Taz, Daffy, Tweety, Sylvester, Elmer (Fudd, that is), even Marvin the Martian! Oh yeah, Porky will be there too - but go easy on him about the whole swine flu thing... Animation cells, drawings, cartoons, and more.

MOHAI is near the UW so it's a quick drive, bus/bike ride, or walk. Through May 17 - so hurry on down!

Gnomon in Wired


The current issue of Wired magazine has an interesting article about Neville Page, one of the leading CG monster artists in Hollywood.

We have a few titles that feature Neville Page as the instructor. Come on down to the library to check out these and other tutorials from Gnomon and Digital-Tutors. AiS students may borrow three at a time, for three days at a time. Don't forget your student ID - that is your library card. (Find Gnomon and Digital-Tutors titles in our Start Your Search page or look in our catalog, Voyager.)

Also, we subscribe to Wired, so come in and browse the current issue - I just read it from cover to cover and it's an especially good one. We also have back issues, which can be checked out for one week.

Pat Moriarity Art Show

Art Institute of Seattle instructor Pat Moriarity has an art show opening tomorrow night at Tigertail in Ballard.






















If you don't make it to the opening, I suggest you check out the art while enjoying a delicious weekend brunch. In addition to their solid brunch menu Tigertail offers what seems like a hundred different styles of Bloody Mary.
