Stars

 

I have been working this week ( around an eye operation) on stars, which at times I over complicated, only to pull back. It was made for Rudy who is nearly 2 and loves the moon and stars. I am contemplating doing some mini planet ones as soon as I can, back to busy 7 day weeks for a while.

My Swan Brothers

This animation for #folktaleweek2021 was for the theme of 'Dream' and I based it on a traditional fairytale where a girl's brothers are transformed into swans by a wicked stepmother. The sisters only way to release her brothers from this bewitchment is for her to sew each of them a cape of nettles. 

Wake up!

 

I started these illustrations as a silent book a few years ago but this week I photographed it to animate and I have to say it makes me very happy with it's soundtrack. It was my second #folktaleweek2021 for Awakenings.

Benjamin Gibeaux

A wonderful short film written and designed largely by Benjamin Gibeaux's daughters.  #YouthForClimate  #ClimateStrike

Taili Wu

I have fallen in love with this surreal alphabet animation by Taili Wu created using stop motion animation with hand made puppets. Taili was born in Taiwan and now working as a designer & artist working with illustration, stop motion and ceramics in New York.

Sofi Naydenova

'The Man I Love' a fun short animation by Dutch artist Sofi Naydenova.

Hana Stepanova I

These are illustrations by Hana Stepanova from the mid 20th century, I can find  any information about her other than she was an illustrator and animator living in Prague. These illustrations feel oddly vintage and culturally different whilst having a very contemporary presence . I like the dramatic contrast in the quality of line, the bold solid areas juxtaposed against the block colours.
