Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty

Very funny.

'The ice book'

Davy and Kristin McGuire are the creators of 'The ice book' a truly magical combination of effects and storytelling.

"The performance blends animation, puppetry, and film to bring a pop-up book vividly to life in front of the audience's eyes."

You can see bits of the performance on the vimeo clip but to find out more about the project go to their website www.theicebook.com

My bathroom the stop motion animation studio

As I am re shooting the animation part to allow for the slightly different positioning of the glass pieces for the hatched show, I have transformed my bathroom into a studio. There's a fair bit or rope and masking tape making sure things stay in place. The lighting isn't exactly bright enough (feels like it, but the proof of the photographs shows not) but needs must!

Happy Birthday Nana

the Joy of the book is infectious

Apparently this went viral since posted yesterday

Glassimation

Apparently last year Pilchuck ran a course called Glassimation. Here is the video of the resulting work (thanks Deb for the heads up). Seems that I now have a genre!

A weekend of frenetic drawing

My first millisecond of animation

The first bit is a paper cut wolf and the next part is a water-colour filling up Cinderella in rags.

Slash: paper under the knife

MAD's 2010 exhibition "Slash: paper under the knife" is a great resource of artists working in paper. In conjunction with this exhibition MAD ran "Moving paper" international paper film festival. 'Going west' (shown a few posts ago) was one of the winners of the competition.
