animated thing from february

In February I made this 34-frames long animation on a "Disciplina" notebook bought from Portugal. 

I improvised the animation as I went and animated straight ahead, but the thin paper allowed me to see the previous drawing very well and made it easy to follow the movement.

I started this in the beginning of the month and ran out of ideas around page 15 (when the guy starts turning). In the end of the month I got the idea that one character could divide into two, and finished the book. 

This pace of ideas is one reason of why I finish one film in a decade. But I'm not ashamed of it!

row, row, row your boat

 

Another tetrapack printing Sunday. I was told lately that bird is good for anything. There's not much possibility to get confused with the movement of the hair but it happened anyway. Oh, well!

thank you, lynda

 

The horrible human world and a wrenching commission work (that I happily accepted) balanced only by a drawing prompt (that I partly misread) by Lynda Barry. Special thanks to Vienna for Komplizenschaft! Here's the prompt:  

printing day at the studio

A couple of weeks ago we got a visitor from the pulsing art scene of Berlin and she asked: "When will we make a printing day in the studio?" Alas, our wooden printing press has hibernated under Liisi's table for more than a year, but for this request is needed to be dug out.

Here's my tetrapack prints on different papers, and the actual plate (third image). A heart was a reoccurring motif that day. 

Admiring the exhibited results from all four participants.

 

 Real life imitates art, because just two weeks later I bought way too big shoes to myself!

 

  

en vanlig dag på kontoret

 Just another not very manic Monday.
