Animation Time! - Sergio Rig


Today's Inspiration:
I consider myself a storyteller with a brush. I try to place myself back in imagined situations that would make interesting and appealing pictures. I am intent on producing paintings that relate to the human experience.

Animation Time! - Frank Rig


Today's Inspiration:
I do know that the greater the understanding and resonance I receive from other people, the more can I affirm myself as an artist.

Tree - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Tree rig.
The Tree anticipates jumping. Then hops over the house, hops back and over again, all the while the house tries to duck out of the way. Once the tree lands it recoils just a little bit until it settles.
