A monotype animation by Meejin Hong

i LuV the multiplane stand! this animation is basically like painting on glass but the opposite. instead of adding on the ink, i took it away: rolled up a solid layer of black akua intaglio ink on glass with a brayer, made the image by wiping away with tissue/dry brush/finger, captured a frame with a dslr canon d50 downshooter, then rolled up another layer of ink to start the whole process again. drew around 500 frames. recorded sound around the house with the help of my roomie Kirsten’s dirty mouth.
