Brilliant - I especially love the end sequence - Beardsley becoming one of his most famous drawings!! As a child I had a large yellow book and on the cover was an ornate black & white pattern and in the center it said "BEARDSLEY". I spent hundreds of hours looking at it over the years. Please check out my video "Mesoamerican Sunrise" for an example of my "art nouveau" style - without Aubrey's macabre aspects, but still a bit on the dark side, and very ornate. I welcome any feedback - cheers, Dg
Beardsley was one of the most extravagant and scandalous artist of his time, his personality was wild just his his pictures. Obscenity, irony, humor, groteque, love for details and simplification. He was also using humoristic stories from past to sketch some funny disguised events and persons from his own time. Wilde was not very pleased knowing that Beardsley will make ilustrations for Salome book.
A question I'd like to ask...How long did it take you to make this animation? Oh and a question i've been asking my self for a while, was Beardsley any inspiration to Salvador Dali? This animation is pure genius...I think if Beardsley could see it he would love it.
All comments are welcome, don't stop! As for Dali being influenced by Beardsley, I think Dali would have been too arrogant to admit being influenced by ANY artist. We'll never know.
Spelt Aubrey wrong as well...My mum (Penny Beardsley) says she is related to him so we do have a lot of Beardsley's work round the house. I thought of an idea once where you could make a whole film in the style of Beardsley, but with real people.
A 'live action' Beardsley film, using black & white and applying some digital tricks with the backgrounds - 300, Sin City etc. - is an interesting idea... a project to think about for when you're older? Has your Mum seen the film?
Wow! You did this! Man I love Aubery Beardsley my favourite artist by miles and I'm 15. I did a Beardsley-esque picture for my GCSE, me in a knights suit and a picture of Beardsley lying down with all his creations surrounding him. I love the Policeman standing outside the Barbershop and how it looks like the picture of Ali Barba (spelt that wrong i think)...
No way are you doing him a disservice. The fact that you put so much into doing this video(parts 1,2&3)is wonderful. When I typed in Aubrey Beardsley last night I was delighted to see that someone had posted these videos. And apparently you had posted them less than 10 minutes before. Again, thanks for posting.
Interesting. I don't know if that's how Beardsley would have seen things or not. There is a dark flavor that runs through his work, though. I don't know. I have a couple of his prints. It was back in the sixties when I first saw some of his work and became interested. Thanks for posting.
Didn't realise this was on here - have been looking out for it for years ever since seeing it in the V&A's Beardsley exhibition in 1998.
Thought it was fantastic then, and still do now.

The music was composed, performed and recorded by Ronnie Fowler, who also created the sound effects.

You're right, I'm presuming a lot here, and I might be doing Beardsley a disservice. I hope not, though.
