HAI hopes to spark a creative revolution by amateur and professional animators in a field of graphic design that evolved from still-cartoons and filmed-motion pictures so quickly most of the genre’s possibilities were left unexplored.

It happened with short-form Japanese poetry as a mass par …

However, Park Slope is also very relaxed and I don't want to venture into Manhattan or fly to Europe e …
