excellent post - i wasn't familiar with his visually happening work - thanx
ReplyDeleteThis guy is awesome. I talked about him a lot in my dissertation. One of the best stop motion artists out there. Check out his recent feature film "In the Attic: Or Who Has a Birtday Today?" - it's a kids fantasy flick and is packed with incredible stop motion.
ReplyDeleteCool blog by the way.
