“Twilight”

This weekend I’ll be selling prints and books at the Stockholm SPX 2013.
I’ll be sitting with PEOW! at H26/27.
They will be selling the print above in a risographed edition.

I will be selling my newly produced anthology of south african comics for the first time.

The print above will eventually be made into a small giclée edition.

Made for an animation, this scene is a tilt-down shot — hence the rough change of perspective into a flat style at the bottom half of the image. The ‘camera’ moves down and the perpective adapts to that movement (in an awkward perspective sort of way) until it reaches a totally flat shot of the street facade. The buildings are independent objects that will adapt to the speed of the motion. The image is never seen in its totality.

The Fall is a good time to stay in and work, and the result is many nice projects — like the one above — an animation pilot I’m making for Norwegian director and friend Mats Grorud, and which will be produced by TENK.TV. This will be a great project, more on that in the future!

I’m also organizing an anthology of South African comics — I posted something about it on this new tumblr dedicated to the project. The book will be out in a couple of weeks. More about that soon too!

A good weekend to you all Tumblers!

PS: 25K+ followers, woow!

Since the book I did with Malte Persson sold out in just 6 months, a new edition will be printed. And it will have additional images. The one above is probably my favourite one. Cross fingers the kids will share my sense of humor!

Image above is from book Journey to The World’s Most Dangerous Country by Malte Persson (story) & Rui Tenreiro (illustrations).
