World War II soldiers drawn in my sketchbook with my new Namiki Falcon drawing pen (fine nib).

Yesterday I released the animated music video for the song ‘Dead All Along’ by Ceri Frost. Today ‘Dead All Along’ was featured on Vimeo’s Staff Picks channel :)

‘Dead All Along’, By Ceri Frost, Dir by Giles Timms (2:13)
Enchanted by a pixie, a child called Yorick enters a magical kingdom, but when Yorick returns he finds his world ravaged by time. Made at the Animation Workshop at UCLA’s Department of Theater, Film and Television, 2009.

The animated music video is set in a hand drawn pen and ink world inspired by Edward Gorey and animated in a cut-out style. Compositing and animation in After Effects.

You can view the video on vimeo here:

Here’s the pencil drawing I started with. You can also see some of my reference material for this image. I had a lot of fun researching tattoos and knew that my tattoo had to have flames and a skull…

Have a good weekend.
