Animation

I've been a fan of animation for as long as I can remember. It's actually one of the subjects I would like to get into with my art. Yesterday I went to watch Coraline and it was great. The storyline could of been a little better I guess, but the slow stop animation was really cool. I'm a huge fan of dark art ex: Tim Burton stuff. I am currently working on my own stop motion animation can't wait to post it up and see what everyone thinks. For now here are a couple of videos I find interesting! One of them is called the Muto Wall by an artist name BLU and the other is called Minilogue/hitchhikers choice by Kristofer Strom

Old school..


Some old school pen and ink fine line art on a handkerchief I did back in the 11th grade.. It's titled "Crazy Dream" it's actually larger than what it appears; some of it was cut off I didn't take a great picture.  Handkerchief or "Pano Arte" is a Chicano/ Latino art form that originated in the Southwest prisons in the 1940's or 50's. I have a large collection myself =)
Here's a few links about it..
