Here’s an animated short I created for my Photoshop class, starring none other than Banjo! His co-star is Lefty, the orange cat from next door who you might remember from a post earlier this year, Banjo & Lefty: “A Metaphor for World Peace?”.

Of course they can! …pick my jaw up off the floor Scientists Discover Children’s Cells Living in Mothers’ Brains which [...]

In so doing, I’ve also discovered muscles I didn’t know existed. And I finally understand why sporty people bang on about the endorphin high. I have a fabulous [...]
