Woolf + Lapin Likes Early Buzz About Disney’s Animated Short: Paperman

Here’s an interview with first-time director John Kahrs.

He discusses the impetus of his apparently groundbreaking animation short: missed connections.

According to slashfilm.com, the film introduces “a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques. First-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with “Paperman.” Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute.”

Disney employees have tweeted the film and some go so far as to claim it’s “the dawn of a new age in animation.”

The short is scheduled to premiere in theaters with Wreck-It Ralph this November.

Bernard Martin au FTA: Danièle Desnoyers

Woolf + Lapin a eu le grand plaisir d’assister à l’avant première de “Sous la peau, la nuit” de la chorégraphe canadienne Danièle Desnoyers et sa compagnie Le Carré des lombes.

C’est du grand art.

Un gros bravo à Danièle Desnoyers, ses interprètes (tous radieux et magiques, vraiment) et collaborateurs.

La pièce est présentée au Festival Transamériques 2012 (2, 3 et 4 juin, Usine C).

Faites vite, certaines représentations sont déjà à guichet fermé.

Woolf + Lapin Interview With Street Artist Stikki Peaches

Some months back we blogged the work of a Montreal street artist before ever knowing who he was.

He hooked up with us a while after our blog post.

His street name is Stikki Peaches.

Then we all agreed it would be profoundly awesome to have our Woolf + Lapin crew shadow him on one of his nightly runs.

Besides mashing pop cultural images he always leaves the snarky cutline “What If Art Ruled the World?” on his pasties.

What do you think?

Should art rule the world?
