This probably has nothing to do with this one, but I get an almost sad, wintry vibe here, much like the weather we're experiencing here in VA right now. Great work!
Steve is right it does look wintry.
Those Victorians had big eyes didn't they!
I seem to have made my Victorians like cavemen waiting for the end of the ice age.
oh man, i love zeotropes - fascinated with all animation, if I had my time again...
they used to have them at the science museum where you could go around and crank a handle - I don't suppose they have them there now, I haven't been in ages.
Did you ever make those flip-books?! flick-books? Or just two drawings on a folded bit of paper and curl the top one with a flick of a pencil to get an animation going? Oh man, I'm going to think about doing a zeotrope now!
Glad I struck a zeotrope chord with you Ian. I just like the word zeotrope, the shape of them, the fabulous obsolesence. I certainly remember them in the Science Museum - there was one where a chap walked up a ladder into a big mouth. I was one of those "push all the buttons" kids, ending ultimately with the one that started up the combine harvester.
As for flip books, I used to draw a little one in the corner of a notebook, and then riffle through the whole thing - now that's tempting! Good luck with your zeotrope project.
I've gone anonymous! It happened as I was about to post another comment (which failed to materialise) - there's a bug in blogger!
I was just trying to say I've given it some thought and it might be an interesting project - though me and my big mouth! ;o)
