Fables of Venice

With apologies to Hugo Pratt.

I had a residency at the Emily Harvey Foundation this spring of 2024. It was wonderful to spend 5 weeks in Venice. My project is a series of short animations about real and fictional characters associated with Venice. I spent my time in Venice doing research, writing and planning, taking photos, recording audio and drawing.

Here are a few drawings and clips. More to come soon.

I made some drawings and a bit of animation for a film written by Peter Littlefield and directed by Roy Rallo. It is based on the Book of Revelation.

Here’s a couple of clips and drawings.

Drawings from The Host

I like to draw with Procreate on my iPad. I often do sketches and notes, and occasionally drawings from movies and tv shows I like.

Accordion Books

I made a series of accordion books based on my drawings for the animations of the play “1975: A Prophetic Drama.” I also made a couple of video books that included clips of the animations. Here’s a few photos. I showed these at the MoCCA festival in 2019 at a table with Marianne Petit and Eric Hagan. I also showed one at a virtual A. More Store at James Fuentes in December of 2020.
