This is what's kept me from animating for the last little while...
A good book is a trip to another place. I tried to illustrate that here.
The model is a kid's snap-together kit, the book is a list of sires and Dams from the US Thoroughbred Association, and the seascape and island are photocopied pages from Treasure Island that I stained with watercolours and coated with Mod Podge. I think it works.
