Obituaries

A series of animated portraits done on individual pieces of newspaper. In the style of my "Kinetic Painting" technique-wherein the background changes but the principle subject only slightly changes-creating a "breathing" feeling in the subject. Wood stain was the only paint used.

Wow, incredible! Did you use carbon paper for the outlines, or did you draw each frame freehand? It looks AMAZING. I love your style.

thanks I drew each one on different pieces of newspaper with a sharpie pen and the brown paint is actually wood stain.

actually all these people are made up. And this is actually not on the Mishima soundtrack. I used The Delta Saxophone Quartet doing the piece "Closing" from Mishima. If you'll notice The film soundtrack used strings- not woodwind.

I still love watching this video (after several years of discovering it). Such a perfect marriage of sound and visual. The newspaper canvas technique is so unique, plus I'm a sucker for the Glass.

That's really cool, and love that all those people are made up. I love Glass' piece from Mishima. I've never heard the Delta Saxaphone version. I dig it all.
