4D Drawings - Favorites Week 2013

I'm showcasing the ten (baker's) ten favorite 4D Drawings of 2013 over on my tumblr this week. 

This year saw a couple Tumblr Radar features (my work popping up on folks' tumblr homepages around the world for a short while) which garnered me a wonderful avalanche of new followers. There were comments in english, german, vietnamese, persian, spanish, hungarian, portuguese, russian and turkish. It is all mindblowing and fairly surreal as it is the nature of the internet that each viewer has their own private experience of the animations and I see shadows of their responses. Strange for a person raised in theater.

Check out this year's favorites. Here's to another year of animated gifs and many thanks to all those out there watching. xo

Sketchbook Project - Infinite Monster

I mentioned previously about taking part in creating segment of a 750 segmented monster through Sketchbook Projects project based on the the exquisite corpse idea of blind collaboration.

they've posted a few of the results here and on flickr!

This one is mine

4D / Naive Melody

This month, I made a series of gifs inspired by The Talking Heads - Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place). This has always been my favorite song and, I think, one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. 

"out of all those kinds of people, you got a face with a view"

"sing into my mouth"

"I'm just an animal looking for a home and, share the same space for a minute or two"

Looooooooong Monster!

I'm excited to be a part of another project put together by Brooklyn Art Library. This one is a great extrapolation of the surrealist blind-collaboration drawing game exquisite corpse they call Infinite Scroll | Monsters. THIS time, there are 750 folks collaborating and we are all creating one looooong monster! I sent in my submission today. I can't wait to see the complete monster!

4D Drawings 2012 - favorites week

I began drawing GIFs in february of 2012 and have amassed over 50 to date. It has been wonderful distilling a moment and finding how it cycles. Exploring the fertility of being limited by file size and a weekly deadline. Then watching those few that got some exposure around Tumblr. Without highlighting any of the usual trappings of who that might be in terms of age, gender, geography etc., you can see a pure distillation of someone’s tastes and imaginations and how your bit fits in with it.

In celebration of all that, I’m posting my ten favorite GIFs from the past year over this week.

Enjoy and thanks for looking.
