Greyhound Paper Animation

I drew these frames from a video I took of a very happy dog I was walking.

I keep a sketch pad on my desk for when my computer hangs up, and this week it hung up quite a bit (I’ve been asking a lot of it lately). So I worked on this sporadically, since pencil and paper never hangs up or needs more RAM. Relaxing too, made the time pass quickly until I could get back to work! It’s 12 frames and the timing was all guesswork, as I’ve never made an animation on paper like this.

Not too bad for a first try, I think. :)

A few years ago, I wrote a short, very strange story about two kids as a way to get my creative wiggles out. Most of it is absolute nonsense, but there is one passage that imparts a mental image that I enjoy (for reasons I am afraid to explore).

Anyway, here it is with some spot illustrations I drew today.
