Showed it to my boss and she wanted to know my excuse for not being able to paint my way out of a paper bag. On top of that, now I'm expected to deliver graphic art along with video, for the same stupid old photographer wage. That or a pink slip, naturally. Thanks.

Time for a little Dr. Seuss pedantry: It's from "Horton Hatches the Egg," and it goes, "An elephant is faithful, one hundred percent." ;>) Thu, 10 Apr 2008 22:08:32 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/the-creative-soul#118731 i saw this on television a few weeks ago and was dead impressed until they explained that the mahout is directing the whole thing by tugging on the elephants ear to guide the line left or right, up or down. still pretty amazing and something i doubt i could teach my very smart dog to do, but it seems wrong to imagine that the elephant knows what its doing or has any concept of 2 dimensional representation...
