Mol,
don’t know if this is a new trend, or what, but it’s well cool. two artists i’ve come across recently:
BLU (this person must be ridiculously dedicated – the film is MINUTES long! watch the whole thing, the art is vaguely disturbing, but really cool and sometimes really funny)
Robin Rhodes (he’s got an art gallery here, i wasn’t able to find the best representations of his work online – but he does chalk-motion pictures, etc. from a review of the gallery: “Robin’s work presents life as a game, with fantastical scenarios that ask the viewer to trust in their own imaginations to bridge the gaps. But these seemingly light hearted works often disguise a darker subtext, including issues of urban poverty, freedom and personal space and the commodification of youth cultures.” )
Totally want to try making a short along those lines, now. Wish I could draw better!
