A recent series of drive failures and cheerful recoveries heralds in the embarrassing rediscovery of “art” and “website” projects entered into for personal enjoyment and education. Among the lesser embarrassing from the early 2000s is this sweet 3D logo animation for Mr. Brendan Hallett.

I present the rest of my ground-breaking 3D work, in case one of those big fancy Hollywood places wants me to consult on some bleeding-edge technologies.

I could not get enough of two things when I was ten or eight or whatever years old: bands that members of Yes would later form, and Sandra Boynton.

I pretended to like soccer to fit in with other lads and to have something to talk to my grandfather about.

However, I never cared for horrifyingly realistic figurines that were attached to a lamp. Yet for a number of years, I suffered in silent terror as I pleaded with the ceramic lamp NOT TO BLINK or I would have lost my mind. My dad said the lamp has since been lost/destroyed in various moves over the last 30+ years, but I know that it is behind a glass case at the Warren’s diabolic museum.

Update

My father reports: "I hereby guaranty that this item was truly smashed and will never surface to bother you again."
