features one of my favorite animated series, Sistah's N' the
City, which was created by Tina Andrews. Its a great web series
about a group of black women being friends and living life!
If you like Sex in the City, well you'll like this too. Its
similar, but definitely different!
NewMediaGroup

Art. This quicktime film is part of an on going art project
conceived by Vasily Shumov (2000). The film is quite orginal
and I challenge you to take a look. There is not much I can
tell you, except you have to see it to understand what its all
about..
There

blend of comics and flash animation. The best part is its all
black superheroes all the time!! There are more series than

at them up close and personal. Jazzlandscapes features animated

series featured on sci-fi.com, all I can say is you have to
see it to believe it.
