The PEN Story

Wow: "This is the PEN Story in stop motion. We shot 60.000 pictures, developed 9.600 prints and shot over 1.800 pictures again. No post production!"

I've been drawing a lot recently, and am beginning to translate some of these ideas into paintings. It's been slow, but I'm excited about it.

Hi everyone - I will return to more regular blogging at some point soon, but will probably continue to post less frequently for awhile. Many thanks for your kind words and enthusiasm - I have loved knowing when you enjoy images & links. I'm not signing off, but wanted to at least acknowledge the slow trickle of posts recently.

I found this amazing painter on flickr about a year ago, where he goes by El Joven. At that point he wanted to be anonymous, but has since changed his mind, which is good!

Unfortunately he deleted a bunch of paintings but you can see them in the old post.
