turku animated film festival 2024

I made a poster, dozen of visual variations and a trailer for TAFF this year. I said: "I'm not a graphic designer" but they didn't listen. 

 I know nothing about fonts, so I googled "art deco font". Then I copied some letters and went with it.

It took forever. It was nice to have free hands. Some people said free hands situation parallizes them but I was happy. I spent a lot of time listening to music, don't know what "fiilistely" is in English but that's what I did. Drawing and dreaming. It wasn't very effective process but it was fun.

life mood





 
I drew these in spring in Tartu when I wanted to escape other art-related duties.

Autumn is starting and I definitely have had enough holiday. I want to work, but don't yet know with what. Thinking if I should leave animation and start some career in psychology. Enough of this art thing already. Best thing about animation is that I can (or at least try to) include so much of my dreaming to my work. But it feels also quite pointless and too self-centered. Would rather think about something else all day long. 

I could just write diary and imagine how they'd be published after I'm dead. And everyone would ADMIRE my wit and sensibility. When you're still alive, this admiration doesn't really pay the bills. I'd rather feel myself useful and have cash.

Life mood by Kierkegaard. It always lifts up my mood!
