New animation for Electric Literature

The great Electric Literature commissioned me another animation. It's based on one sentence from the story "The Tunnel" by Jenny Offill, in Electric Literature n.3: "They say time turns hawkish, that you feel it like a wing crossing over you".
The music is by Sin Ropas.



The animation went up today and already got two nice write-ups, on L Magazine, who calls it "sad and beautiful," and on Mediabistro.

Until I Find It #1

Leni Zumas and I have been working on an illustrated book called Until I Find It. It's one of the most exciting projects I have ever been part of. Words by Leni. Art by me.

Gigantic Magazine, in its online incarnation, will serialize Until I Find It: one chapter each month, which is great.

Read the first installment here.

The Gigantic April issue has also great work by Sam Lipsyte, John Minichillo, John Dermot Woods, Lauren Spohrer, Claudette Bakhtiar, Dan Moreau, Franklin Winslow.

Until I Find It is loosely based on a full length animated film Leni and I are working on. Art an animation by me. Words by Leni. Music by Father Murphy.
