Niko - The way to the Stars

Today I took a look at the trailer of "Niko - the way to the Stars" (click the picture) an 3d-animation movie who will comes to cinemas in the end of 2008. It's so cute! This movie is a cooperation between Finnland, Germany, Denmark and Irland. My friend Goro Fujita worked on it and I am very curious to see the movie. I hope that I find the occasion to animate a little short in the next time maybe a sequel of Wilson the snowman. We will see... :o)

Museums

In the last time I went with a friend to some museums and art-galleries like the Munch-museum, National-museum and the gallery of Helene Knoop. The paintings there were fantastic and very inspired. So you can view paintings of Monet, van Gogh, Manet, Cézanne and famous Norwegian painters like E. Munch, Thomas Fearnley, H.F. Gude, A. Tidemand, J. Frich and P. Blake. I didn't knew that Norway had great painters. Here some paintings:

Edvard Munch: The Scream

Adolph Tidemand and Hans Gude: Brudeferd i Hardanger

Peder Balke: Stetind in Fog

Thomas Fearnley: Labrofossen
