Hot Talent – Canuck Howie Shia takes Tokyo by Storm
IT may have taken 10 months to painstakingly craft his seven-minute animated short Flutter in Photoshop (nope, not a typo), but for Howie Shia, the effort is paying off big-time.

Not a bad showing, considering it was only his second work in the art form.
