My boys, the new media artists

Wednesday 30 July 2003 — This is nearly 20 years old. Be careful.

I’m so proud of my boys. I’ve always tried to encourage their creative sides, and they haven’t let me down. My five-year-old is an obsessive sketcher (as I have mentioned before). My eleven-year-old is fascinated by media of all sorts, and has a knack for working computers. Recently they teamed up to produce a Flash movie from an original drawing. Read more about it, and see the result.

that's so cool; i'm extremely proud of my kids also (ages 3, 7 and 9). it's great to be a dad!

what did they use to create that Flash movie? maybe my kids would want to try it!

p.s. keep up the good work; and don't consider yourself "not worthy," as you say in your previous message. i bookmarked your site a few weeks back because I do like your design; many of the positive things you say about holovaty's site are true of your own (holovaty's is down-right cool, tho').

Put that animation on a .jp domain and you are guaranteed placement on www.k10k.net.

Brilliantine.

Joshua (7) was very impressed too. Looks like a few dads will be taking crash courses in Flash.

Please pass on our congratulations to your boys.

Cheers
Justin
