Or there’s this easier-to-get-to Vimeo upload. It has a watermark but you’ll just have to put up with it I’m afraid.
The Joy Of Reading (link)
Apologies it’s on Mediafire and not hosted somewhere but I can’t get it to export as a video file so it’s a SWF and it’s a huge file so only Mediafire will take it and it’s the work I’ve actually done so deal with it.
So it’s an animation about the joy of reading where a prison inmate describes how he escapes being cooped up by reading, in a 40-odd second diatribe.
I used red calligraphy ink with brush and a blue Indian ink brush pen to do the typography and biro, watercolour, gel pen, and Indian ink for the backgrounds. I recorded the dialogue and the music is from a song I made the other week. The books he mentions towards the end are, in order of appearance, The Colour Purple, Slaughterhouse 5, Of Mice & Men, and American Psycho, all American novels and I don’t know why that is. Just books I’ve read, ergo, books I could quote.

SHUT UP PORTFOLIO. YOU’RE FINISHED.
Well, still need to print it and make a cover and bind it all, but still. No more compiling photos into a PDF for me for at least a few months.
a week or so ago, in the grips of random spending, i bought mt eerie (feat julie doiron and fred squire) on vinyl from pw elverum and sun
got it today
it doesnt come in a cover, per se, btu the record is enclosed in this:
it is so fucking beautiful
Mmmmm yeah. Less is more and all that.
About three months’ work in one book. I wrote the poem last year and spent the last however long putting this book together to illustrate it.
Worth it? As if I’d know.
DMC presentation. Sums up everything I’ve done for this project, really.

This is my GARP presentation. Mike says I articulated it very well. The slides didn’t show on the mac so I don’t know how he feels about their faux-naiveté.
The 2nd Years finally made it to Berlin after a snow delayed flight on Sunday. I’m not sure one of our Illustrators, Bob Hartley, fully prepared himself for the arctic conditions in central Europe by the looks of this photo sent to me from the airport. That’s all the luggage he’s taken with him apparently. Brrruuurrr!
The trick was tucking my shirt in and doing up the top button and tie. Then buying a hat because I forgot to take one.
