[Notice: flashing images!] I wandered around San Franciscoās Chinatown this past week with tiny horse silhouettes to make this labor of love stopmotion. šš® Happy Lunar New Year and Year of the Horse everyone! š„°š§§ May the new year bring you lots of happiness and fortune. ā¤ļø
Some behind-the-scenes: - Some aunties saw me taking photos and invited me to their Chinese New Year celebration next weekend. š - I tried not to get in the way of any stalls or customers, so I didnāt take many photos inside the various markets or bakeries (although I did get a pineapple bun and tangerines while I stopped by)! - I texted Cuddly Potatoes to see if she had time to help me cut out horses on her die-cut machine, and she immediately said yes. ā¤ļø - I used tape on my phone screen to line up the paper in the same spot every time! I can finally remove it now! š¤£
Itās not like my usual comics, but this time, I just wanted to make art for artās sake! ĀØĢ® ā” I used to make stopmotions a lot years ago, and it was really satisfying to see this one come together. I hope you enjoy!
