our guest todays is looooong time sl resident & furry erik mondrian who is an mfa student at the inter school at calarts in los angeles [yes the one and only college-to-pixar pipeline !] and erik has created [for his mfa thesis] a wonderful synergy between poetry and machinima with an inherent musicality that frankly reminds me of joe frank in many ways. the hour [plus!!] belongs to him this week, and his art, which is facilitated, inspired and executed in a universe of wonder: second life!
