From artist Jamie Bell, A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything. Brilliant.
This is the final piece for my AS art course, a flipbook made entirely out of biro pens. It’s something like 2100 pages long, and about 50 jotter books. I’d say I worked on and off it for roughly 3 weeks.
Song is French Cancan by Jaques Offenbach.
Additional sounds credited to Valve, specifically from their game Team Fortress 2.
Other stuff is from the 300 trailer and O Little Town of Bethlehem.

Enjoy your day.
A hit indeed! Way to hold a l o n g note for effect. I thoroughly enjoyed this. It reminded me of the spirited way my older brother would draw in the margins of his notebooks, and it delighted me with its many sounds. Makes me thoughtful about what sound adds to realms created by drawing. (And happy VDay. I recommend Robert Pinsky’s look at love poetry over at Slate.com. Don’t get lost in the commentaries; feast on centuries of earnest lines made for wooing.)
My favourite was the three wise men, bouncing along to see the star, lol, as wise men do…
