Index Card Animation
More From Life
If you have read about the artist on this web site then you already know that animated filmmaking, specifically index card animation, was what got me into rubber stamps in the first place. That was back in the mid 1980's. Now I am working on a new, experimental, animated art film called "More From Life". In 2008 I will not be doing any rubber stamp conventions so that I can concentrate on this project.
Last year, I made one drawing each day from life on an index card. This year, I am morphing each of those drawings into the next to make this film.
