pOp ups
Fulcrums, levers galore. I have been seriously studying mechanics recently to make pop ups. Don’t have any images for you yet though. (I did do one new little jumping creature that works surprisingly well.)
Having shown my portfolio at the children’s book fair in Bologna, Italy I heard one message loud and clear. That message was do what you love to do. What would you L O V E a client to ask you to do? Then do that . Develop that. Up until that conference I did not even dare to express my love for motion. I knew that I have a penchant for comedy, mystery and color but to throw in a little mechanics and interactity makes me want to jump for joy. So off I go.
Gee perhaps I can make a pop-up comic book. That is all this world is missing.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch… I started making new rounds at local French news-magazines. With a little serendipity I think I will be getting some work from them in the future.
Now I need to make some rounds to see if anyone wants me to do some book cover design.
The last thing that I am preparing is a painting exhibition for early winter 2009.
With so many balls in the air (and so many school vacations breaking my stride) it is not so easy to stay focused but I am more determined than ever.
