The Major Arcana, made from 500 years of deck designs on Wikipedia

Spent a chilly week on the Mendocino coast crafting this ghost story. I used Super 8 film to capture the ethereal weirdness of HEAVY Pacific fog. Then I spent a several months hand-animating these characters to bring the tale to life. This is an original ghost story, though I would have much preferred to adapt a local legend. The California coast needs more ghosts!

There is a tale of Nagano about the discovery of healing hot spring, high in the mountains, deep in the snow. It is known as the 熊の手荒 or "Bear Onsen" because it was shown to a hunter by the very bear he attacked. I've imagined this as a short Super 8 film with simple drawings. And I've named "Nozawa Story" for the town where it takes place.

Inspired by artists around the world, I’ve made my own Amabie prints for the COVID-19 outbreak and I’m mailing them around the world. Just drop me an email -> zmccune at gmail to get a card.

Looking over the trail maps and logos of these “lost” ski areas, you can still pick up the energy and joy. These are brands for fun, thrilling places. And we can learn from them.
