at school,
every pupil had a number of exercise books, one for English literature, English language, chemistry, physics, etc, plus one 'scrap' book that you did not have to hand in with your homework in it,
and it was in your scrap book that it was de require to draw a slightly different matchstick man or perhaps an easily drawn creature in the corner of each page so that when flicked the drawing seemed to move,
moving on to modern times J. C. Fontanive, a Cleveland-born
artist created a sleek flipbook machine while he was a student at the Royal
College of Art,
His most
recent works bring the 2D Lepidoptera to life “Flipping pages make these
handmade sculptures live in real sound and space. Creatures flit and flicker by
to awaken the poetry of movement and inspire through nature and invention,”
Fontanive says in a statement,
You can see
the trio in action on Vimeo and shop available sculptures on the Flipbook Machine site, and also follow the artist’s projects on Instagram,
I should mention the artist also has a bird flipbook, just a thought, I wonder if the artist sells plain flip books, so you can choose an image of your choice to animate?
