Nice stop-motion film short from 96 by Tim Hittle. I remember seeing this years ago, but saw it again at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. Great storyline and execution.

February 13, 2010. At the Mavericks Surf Competition, two huge waves hit the beach, knocking dozens of spectators off their feet, causing several injuries, toppling booths, unnerving many (like myself) and sent some unfortunate souls swaying in the water while numerous boxes of equipment were swallowed up–all within a few seconds.

Happy Valentines Day! Here is a photo I took with angel wings, which I adapted for Valentines with heart and scroll elements. The photo was converted to a cyan duotone, which simplifies the piece and brings out the red tones.
