Animation
Todd Elliot was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is currently in the process of designing styrofoam cars, which he claims will make auto accidents "that much more pleasant." When Todd isn't on the phone arguing with the Polyurethane Foam Association, he enjoys making cartoons. "I like to animate when I get really mad at the styrofoam producers in this country. It takes my mind off of trying to figure out how to get the pistons and the cylinders from melting together. I mean, is it too much to ask for some effort to be made towards fire proof styrofoam? I just don't understand what has happened to the great American 'can do' attitude. If I can't get the support from the industry with some minor auto mechanics, how can they ever expect me to complete my styrofoam 12 gauge shotgun project?" Todd is currently living in a nice two door suburban flat in a small section of his mind.

Website
Paul Chasan designed and built Hardihood.com. He is a graphic designer living in San Francisco, CA, specializing in web and print design for independent media and non-profit organizations.
