A Moominvalley morning in full sun
I love the world Tove Jannson created with her wonderful Moomin books. The writing and illustrations are top notch, full of subtlty and wistfulness and the complex emotions we don't always allow children* to have, or forget they have. Her works are up there with Edward Gorey to my mind, and the beautiful animations made… Continue reading A Moominvalley morning in full sun
Enduring the caprices of the gods
None of us is a stranger to the need for endurance. It’s a universal theme; always returned to in stories. We endure. And in the strength we needful gain in our small hero’s journeys, we encounter the requirement of meaning. Neither the smallest nor greatest of trials is endurable without that ineffable, elusive thing we… Continue reading Enduring the caprices of the gods
Circling back to that red oak tree on the farm, amid snowfall
Beyond the Red Oak v6 from Elizabeth Daggar on Vimeo. I haven't had time the past two weeks to get much farther with this, but I'm hoping to get back to it on the weekend. Here's where I left off in my motion tests and atmospheric meanderings.

This is… Continue reading Jolly sketches of karaoke time at the diner
Textures in an empty backyard in Red Hook
a jaunty little row of art nouveau trees
On offer today: a pencil drawing of yet more winter trees, stylized and simple.
Focal lengths and depth of field on pencil drawings
Here are a couple stills from a scene into which I'm working that oak tree drawing and the landscape I've been working on. I'm still getting the hang of working with cameras, and messing about with focal lengths and such, to get the depth of field. It's slow going, but enjoyable.
The red oak that dwarfs the big barn
Another drawing in service to the animated short I'm working on. This is one I did last weekend, and I'm hoping to get the barn and silo illustrated from at least one point of view this weekend. Also: fences. I'm looking into learning more about the puppet tool in After Effects, too, so that I’ll… Continue reading The red oak that dwarfs the big barn
