Artists / Designers / Editors
BlankSpace has worked with many different editors, artists, and designers over the years and we are grateful to all of them. There are too many to list here, so this placeholder screenshot from our stop-motion animated short screened at the Ottawa International Animation Festival in 2010 will have to represent them all. They (and we) thank you for liking weird indie things and supporting independent publication!
