📝This archived post is originally from my old comics focused Wordpress blog from 2011-2019. That site was a space to publicly commit to learning the art and craft of cartooning and self-publishing. These posts are full of a naive enthusiasm that though at times embarrassing, I'm proud of. I hope you find them useful in some way.❤️

Almost finished with the semester.

You can count on drawings to be posted soon. For now, let’s bask in the vivaciousness of the following two animations by Norman Mclaren and Evelyn Lambart.

The following animation and its accompanying audio were both created by hand by painting and scratching the film.

then there’s the Oscar Peterson Trio’s work animated by Mclaren and Lambart.

Begone Dull Care (1949)

And in a more contemporary note. You should check out Cyriak’s 2010 video “Cycles”. It’s a fun experimental video done digitally.
