Artwork by the wonderful Alina Chau!

Morning Folks! In case you haven't seen yet, our interview with Alina Chau is up and ready for your eyeballs over at CULTIV!

Updates Ahoy!

Hey Folks!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. Not good yet? I have some news that will MAKE IT GOOD.

Cultiv continues going strong and along with it, our artist interview series, 7. In case you're unfamiliar with it, 7 is a series of interviews where we ask artists we love 7 questions about who they are, what they do, their thought process, and their craft. Going up this Monday is our interview with the wonderful, Alina Chau. I've been following her work for 6 years now so it was a complete pleasure to be able to interview Alina for the series. It's a great, great, interview and, as with our previous guests, we're incredibly grateful for her taking the time to do this with us and to be able to share it with all of you.

To check out our previous interviews with Shiho Oshita and Justin Coffee, head over to Cultiv or click HERE

On that note, if you enjoy the interviews or the work we do, we'd LOVE it you share it with your friends. We're an incredibly small operation and those simple shares go a long way.

In other news, you may have noticed a lack of bloggage on my part. My excuses are plentiful but my current one is that apart from Sing Along stuff, I've started working as a Story Artist on a new feature film: Ratchet & Clank. You can check out the teaser below:

It's been a blast so far and I'm honored to be working with such a talented team. You can expect to see Ratchet & Clank in a theatre near you in 2015.
Alright folks, that's enough news for now. Enjoy the weekend and we'll see you on all Monday! ~D

7 with JUSTIN COFFEE

Sorry for the lack of posts folks, but I return with something special. I'm so happy to announce that our second interview in Cultiv's interview series "7" is with the talented Justin Coffee! I fell in love with Justin and his work years ago when we were working together in animation so it's great to be able to interview him and get his voice out there so you can get a sense of who this guys is.  So to see more incredible artwork like the one you see above, and to get inside the head of an extremely talented and knowledgeable guy head over to CULTIV or click on the image below.

See you guys there!

7 with Shiho Oshita at Cultiv!

Shiho Oshita's interview on CULTIV is up, folks! An incredible lady and wonderful artist. From animation school, to working with one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people (the only visual artist selected at the time), to breaking off on her own to follow her passions. We're very happy to be able to do these interviews and so glad to have Shiho start this thing off right.

More thing's with 7 in the title...

Hey Folks! We got some Cultiv news for you!

CULTIV is going strong and the response has been great! We're quickly approaching our 100th post, and to celebrate, we've launching a brand new segment called "7". 7 is a series of interviews where we ask artists we love, you guessed it, 7 questions about who they are, what they do, their thought process, and their craft.

To check out the announcement you can head over to Sing Along Pictures HERE and stay tuned! Our first interview is with the incredibly talented Shiho Oshita! We'll keep you posted with when you can see it.

Alright, folks - thanks so much for stopping by and we'll see you soon.

Cultiv

Today, I'm pleased to announce Sing Along Pictures' latest endeavor, CULTIV.

I love talking about movies, paintings, design, animation... pretty much anything creative, to a debilitating degree. I'd like to use this time to apologize to my friends and family (doesn't mean I'll stop though.) Part of that resulted in Inspiration Wednesday (IW), a segment of this blog where I posted about stuff that inspires me. It quickly became one of my favorite things to post about.

IW was limited though, by my time and tastes. Enter Cultiv! Cultiv is very similar to IW except that it's maintained by multiple authors with ranging tastes! So what you get is more frequent updates from a wider range of preferences. Like a certain Singalonger's point of view? You can just click on their name and limit the posts to match your particular tastes.

So this is the conclusion of IW. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by to check it out each week, it was a blast to do. But in it's place is Cultiv, what I feel is a much better way to enjoy everything you loved about IW.

And, as overlord of this mighty blog, what I feel - GOES.


Love Dave

Something New...

A little late to post today - how many times can "busy" be an excuse? This isn't the usual Inspiration Wednesday post you might be used to. Instead it's a teaser for something I'm very excited for that's coming at you next week. IW is one of my favorite parts of this blog so I'm a little sad to announce that, after next week, it'll be wrapping up - but making room for something new!

If you're a fan of IW, you're going to really love it.
