CAPSULE is always on the lookout for interesting artists, lifestyle products, and anything else that enhances one's existence. Fortunately, in the San Francisco Bay Area you don't have to search long to find such things. Of course, no one likes to limit themselves, so these links are not strictly confined to the Bay Area. Enjoy!
Jan Van Buyten | Artist | Organic, cerebral and elegant are words that come to mind when viewing Jan's work. He has recently been creating cartoons, that reflect his wry wit. He worked as a computer animator for ILM on the movies Jurassic Park, Harry Potter and Van Helsing (and has contributed special-effects animation to several other recent movies.) He resides in San Francisco. One of Jan's current projects is the First International Flipbook Festival, a collaboration with Clio Award winning advertising director Fred Vanderpoel (a San Francisco ex-patriot now living in Hawaii.) |
