inks and anims

I haven't been writing here much of late. My soup of thoughts have been venturing elsewhere. Nonetheless I shall pop down afew links to things I have been looking at lately.

BFI British Film institute's page on animation. Unfortunately one can't view the mov clips which is a real shame as there are some great works listed.

See positively lovely short animation Badgered
Interview with Sharon Colman creator of Badgered link

Here is an ink pic I drew. Actually it's part of a diptych - will post other later.







Animatorz of the week Daniel Greaves and Dave Daniels. See
Tandem films


Also an interesting site with snazzy pictures from lovely old animations (UPA era) Cartoon Modern

Speaking of 'cartoons'......Have you finished that stinky June anim? I hear you ask.











Yes ofcourse.

$20

Is that all I'm worth!?



ebay
I wonder if the buyer thinks they are going to get some comic about bums



(Thanks John
and Greg for that)









New computer and new Stereolab Fab Four Suture. All very pleasant.

This little Chap is by Mark Craste, from an anim Still Night - I have mentioned it before I'm sure.

I'm a little busy of late.
Almost finished 'Project June'
Al has produced some exquisite ukelele for it.
Nearly there, just have to keep working on the animated smell to make it look like a smell rather than a mysterious steamy waft.



I don't have much time to experiment with the "look" so it will probably remain a cartoony bright thing - which was the initial request.



Whats hamihami up to...

William at the NGV

Look
whats on!

A print.

Thunder, lightening......blackout. Just as I was about to print.







Next day.









Inking up









Ready to print.




Here is a 'bit' of the etching.

The plate needs alot more work.....as do the other two. My enthusiasm hasn't waned as yet - even though I am continually realising that the time I need to complete what I want to achieve is ....far...greater than what I had initially planned and proposed. Hmmm..sounds familiar.

Leaving Megalo soon. Its all gone so fast - I've tried to stretch time. It has been fantastic. ...I'll fill you in later.



Animated Exeter

Wish I could be there. Particularly for the screening of The Snowman in Exeter Cathedral.
