Tor.com animations, Illustrating Conan, and Dave Stevens

I'm still in holiday mode, playing catch-up here and there. Here are a few Tor.com items from the past week:

Saturday Morning Cartoons.
Flutter: Two high school students: a boy runs and a girl paints. Pure energy and expression.
Walls: Claustrophobia, isolation, and observation.

Illustrating Conan
Read what Mark Schultz, Gary Gianni, Greg Manchess, and Jim and Ruth Keegan have to say about the difficulties of taking on Conan under the weight of the character's visual history.

Dave Stevens: Brush with Passion
Arnie Fenner writes a very personal essay on Dave Stevens and working on Brush With Passion
with Dave.
