The new Criterion Collection website features a cool introductory video in the upper-right corner. A pair of anonymous hands draw on white paper with a sharpie as a narrator introduces the site.
Turns out the hands and voice belong to artist Jason Polan. A Google video search revealed he’s done more of these sharpie videos. He also sells a couple on his site, like How to Draw a Giraffe and How to Draw an Apatosaurus. Too bad those last two don’t have preview clips.
Check out this video he did for the State Bar of Texas:
Love this stuff.

I conducted a brief interview of Jason about the Texas Bar video. If you’re interested, the transcript is posted here.
