Okay, not really in the news, but still cool, and yes i’ll update about the Pittsburgh Comic Con,…just later. 
Two Words: Will Vinton.
The Art Institute of Tampa had a gallery opening a couple days ago that is still going on that has a lot of works by Will Vinton. You may or may not know the name, but if you don’t, let me throw a few names you might know your way: California Raisins, The Noid, M&M’s. Do those look familiar? They should, Will Vinton is a pioneer in the realm of stop motion animation, specifically Claymation. Remember those Claymation Christmas specials years ago? That was him too. All I have to say is the man has an impressive background, and when he did a small lecture and then attended and spoke at the gallery open, he’s incredible. A very down to earth guy, very real, very personable. He talked about the industry, process, ideas, and the importance of a good demo reel.
So thank you Will Vinton for giving me a peek behind the scenes and into your world.
p.s. You have an awesome mustache.
