So pretty. :) Aubrey Beardsly and Harry Clarke had similar styles! :O

[aytoizzard]

@DisterPluton Thanks. Clarke evidently appropriated Beardsley's technique, but masterfully.

ambitious & arresting! loved "L". so much talent behind this...

[aytoizzard]

Thank you trichomaniac, so generous, so poetic. There certainly was a lot of talent behind 'L'. This was one of letters done by Ali Taylor. She won the 2005 Annecy 'First Film' award for her animation 'Puleng'.

Very special! I absolutely enjoyed it . Thanks for posting it. It goes to my favourites.

I love & admire Beardsley, he was 'fantastique.'

[aytoizzard]

Thanks for watching it. I see you live in Australia. My other animation on You Tube 'West Pier' was screened at MIAF in Melbourne in 2002. Cheers.

I only wish more people would mine the wealth that is the life and work of Beardsley. Such rich raw material. This is soaked in his spirit. Will watch again and again and again...Well done!
