Sleep

If I were a king

If I were a king
If I had everything
If I had you and I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I go on for
If I had it all

Forgetting

Only half of her was in this world while the other was already foreign to her.

October

She always came at dusk, the girl with the hundred birds.
And when she sang, they all remembered the secret dreams that they thought they had forgotten.

Illustrations for In Rainbows

These are some of the illustrations from the storyboard that illustrator/animator Mark Deutsch and I have been working on the last few days for the Aniboom Radiohead contest.

Radiohead is one of our all-time favorite bands (we’ve liked them since their Pablo Honey days when we were still in grade school hehe) so we really wanted be part of this. We chose the song Nude from their latest album In Rainbows. What we submitted isn’t the final artwork and animation yet, only the draft storyboard. It’s a mix of pencil sketches, acrylic drawings and washes and digital art and was animated using Adobe Flash and Premiere. In the final animation, the artwork will be better :-) and it will be fully animated and the descriptions, of course, will be removed.

The submission is a bit late but, as they say, better late than never and we had a lot of fun making it. You can view the video at the Aniboom website.

Change

“I was one of the great seas,” he said. “But those days are long gone.
I am just a man now… a wrinkled old man.”

Then he walked away, leaving behind a trail of fish-shaped smoke.
