New Blog/Website

I have officially switched to WordPress (which is another kind of blog), and have set it up to be my website, so any further posts I make, as well as updates to my reel, resume and whatever else can now be seen at www.danforgione.com

Please update your bookmarks and or RSS feeds, as I plan on not using blogspot.com any more.

Thanks

Dan

Sorry for Slacking

I know it's been a while, but since getting back from the honeymoon, it's been a little crazy getting back into the swing of things. I promise some sketches and more work soon, but for now, here is the latest of the Bronx Zoo commercials I did earlier this year for their Madagascar exhibit. I have a higher res version, however it doesn't have the audio, so once I get that, I'll post it. For now enjoy the youtube version... Enjoy!
