The awesome Golden Gate Bridge
People Are Awesome | VIMEO
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. That is the best way to describe the dangerous maneuvers of some for the people in this video. From jumping from roofs tops to making daring rides on skateboards, the achievements are amazing and terrifying at the same time. In one section of the video, a man jumps from one roof to another without any support. The awesome act left the people watching in awe. Several portions of the video are dedicated to footballers doing awesome maneuvers as they make touchdowns. These are just fearless people doing amazing things. This is obviously this is not for everyone. If you are not bold or do not have the courage to engage in such dangerous act, it is better not to engage in such acts. Some of the maneuvers are so dangerous that you need adequate training to perform them. In one section of the video, a man jumped over a car and in another, a bicker did a triple jump over an obstacle.
Grinch Animation Art from Chuck Jones Goes on Auction
Rare Grinch animation art from the 1966 classic is going to auction. Hand-picked from Chuck Jones’ archive—this is a collector’s dream.
DALLAS— In celebration of the Golden Anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Heritage Auctions will be offering the largest collection of original animation art from the animated Christmas special. The auction is part of Heritage Auctions animation art sale. This historic event will take place on June 11 in Dallas. It will showcase rare pieces from the personal archives of legendary animator Chuck Jones.
A portion of the auction proceeds will benefit the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity in Orange County, California.
Animation Art Auction Highlights
The Heritage Auctions animation art sale will include 27 original pieces. They all relate to the genesis and making of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Expectations are that three exceptionally rare Key Master Set-Ups from the landmark cartoon, original artworks by Chuck Jones and Maurice Nobel used in the making of the cartoon will drive auction prices very high. In addition, a plethora of important animation cels along with original Chuck Jones Grinch paintings featuring the characters of the Christmas classic are already generating excitement among collectors.
One of the major highlights of the auction is a remarkable hand-painted production cel of the Grinch. In it, the Grinch looks into a hand mirror in the mouth of his faithful pooch Max as he completes his Santa costume. A spectacular offering, this significant artwork is on the Key Master Hand-painted Production background from the scene in which the only one was made and used for the production. It has an estimate of more than $25,000.
Another major highlight of the Animation Art auction is one of the first concept drawings of the Grinch by Chuck Jones. Listed as one of the earliest drawings of the Grinch character by the animator, the Grinch has a protruding belly. Accompanying the drawing is one of the first hand-painted cels of the Grinch. It has an estimate of more than $10,000.
Grinch Animation Art from the Chuck Jones Archives
Jim Lentz, Director of Animation Art Auction at Heritage Auctions describes the collection as one of a kind:
This is an unprecedented offering and, more importantly than anything else, it comes directly from the Chuck Jones Personal Archives, chosen specifically by Jones’ daughter, Linda and his grandson Craig Kausen.”
Chuck Jones is an important figure in American animation. He brought the Grinch to life with his distinctive style, alongside production designer Maurice Noble. Their collaborative genius is evident throughout this collection.

About Musical Artist N’to
Born in Marseille in 1985, N’to’s love for music started at a very young age. At just ten years old, he was already playing the guitar and entertaining friends. Since that very early beginning, N’to has not looked back. As a fan of 1970s rock, his musical tastes were influenced by it for many years. That was before he discovered techno and electronic music. It was everything to him. The charm of techno captivated him, opening him to the genre. The influence has been unshakable.
Several music artists have been a major source of influence for N’to. They include minimal and techno artists such as James Holden, Extrawelt, Stephan Bodzin, Pink Floyd, Audio, Dusty Kid, and Claude Von Stroke, among several others. Despite the influences, N’to is his own artist. His use of smooth melodies accompanied by efficient minimal rhythms makes him unique.
