RED

"Red" directed by Jorge Jaramillo and Carlo Guillot. Music by Manuel Borda. Dark, stylized, simple take on the classic fairy tale. Love the way they tied it together.

I can't help myself; I have to post another animated short I found!
Swingy, catchy, fun for all animated short. The characters are simple yet fit the mood of the story perfectly.

SKETCHTRAVEL

Have you heard of Sketchtravel yet? If not, I suggest you get to know this little project. The first Sketchtravel started in October of 2006 by illustrators Gerald Guerlais and Dice Tsutsumi, and ended in November 2010. The book traveled all over the world and landed in the hands of 70 of the most talented artists in the fields of comics, illustration, and animation. I had a chance to hear the team of sketch-makers talk about the making of the first book and i was blown away by the amount of work and dedication these artists put into this project.

A new book has been started and Christophe is the first contributor! I can't wait to buy a copy of the first edition and watch the journey of the second. Check out a little making of preview below.

LORELAY BOVE

If you couldn't tell, I'm currently obsessed with this graphic/playful style of artwork. So following my Mary Blair post comes Lorelay Bove! Love the fantastical, whimsy charm in her paintings.

She currently works at Disney Animation Studios.
