I saw the work of Irene Pressner at the Los Angeles Art Show. It is difficult to do them justice on a computer screen, so I have resisted posting it but, today, I’m feeling reckless, so here goes. Please look closely and understand that she creates each piece on a WAXED canvas using a tattoo machine. In each is a hidden character you will likely recognize! Painstaking work with a pleasing result.

From “thiscolassal“:
This great new video for Josh Ritter’s Love Is Making Its Way Back Home was directed by Erez Horovitz and involves the meticulous animation of over 12,000 laser-cut pieces of construction paper. Via Etsy:
A team of nearly twenty artists, editors, directors and product assistants ushered the video into being. The group started with storyboarding and computer animation before converting the digital graphics to paper cutouts (frame by frame), photographing those 12,000 cutouts and then stitching them together into four minutes of paper animation.
You can learn more about how it was done and see some great behind the scenes shots on Josh Ritter’s blog.
