...center of Kentridge's work are the hand-drawn animated films he started making in 1985. Some are intended to be viewed one at a time, like the mournful vignettes from the lives of his fictional alter egos: Soho Eckstein, a rapacious South African businessman, and Felix Teitlebaum, a melancholy soul who pines for Eckstein's sensuous wife. Others are produced as parts of multiscreen installations in which eight or more unfurl simultaneously on all four gallery walls. So in 7 Fragments for Georges Méliès, his semicomical riff on the artist in his studio, we see Kentridge climbing...
...Kenneth Blackwell called young Republicans to action at the Harvard Republican Club’s seventh annual Lincoln Day Dinner on Saturday. The formal celebration of Lincoln’s legacy and Republican ideals was held in Eliot Dining Hall, where white tablecloths littered with pennies and a hand-drawn elephant greeted the 150 students in attendance—a record, according to HRC President Colin J. Motley ’10. Past speakers at the event have included conservative activist Star Parker and Michael S. Steele, who has since been elected chairman of the Republican National Committee. The evening...
...Hand-drawn fliers, press clips and photos amplify the interviews, most of which were conducted in 2000 (two years before Strummer's death at age 50) for the Grammy-winning documentary Westway to the World.

...Even if you haven't heard of Studio Ghibli or its fabled animator Hayao Miyazaki, chances are you'll recognize the work when you see it. Studio Ghibli's better-known films - feature-length charmers like My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Princess Mononoke (1997) or Spirited Away (2001) - share a hand-drawn naturalism, grace of motion and attention to detail that have become exquisitely rare in a world where virtually all animation is digital...
...fans feeling abused. Studios turned their attention to fantasy literature like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. But when Spider-Man bested two wizard movies and a Star Wars prequel in 2002 and X-2: X-Men United broke $200 million at the box office in 2003, hand-drawn heroes swung back into favor. The joke in Hollywood now is that in a risk-averse era, comic-book adaptations have a distinct advantage: the drawings mean studio execs can see beforehand what the movie will look like...
