Saturday Morning Cartoons: The House That Jack Built

Posted in Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags , , , , on October 2, 2010 by ssstephg


Who knows jack? I dunno jack, but I think I remember watching this animation a long time ago and liking it. I grew up watching nothing but Canadian television and PBS because we lived so far north and so far out in the sticks there was no cable (still isn’t) and we couldn’t afford a satellite dish cuz my parents thought college funds for the kiddies were more important. Thanks Mom! I remember swearing was OK on Canadian TV even way back in the 80s. Crazy Canucks. Anyway, I ran across this vid on Youtube, watched it again and I still like it.

When I was out in California I saw William Kentridge’s Magic Flute video installation. I usually don’t have the patience for video work but it was mesmerizing, and soothing to my Stendhal Syndrome tummy. I thought about posting it here but since an integral part of the piece is the 3D structure it’s housed in it doesn’t seem to translate effectively for the internet. I found this piece instead, Wanting…And Weighing (1997), I hope you like it.

Art Clokey, the creator or Gumby, Pokey as well as Davey and his cheekily moralizing dog, Goliath, passed away last Friday.

This post at Boston.com eulogizes him better than I can.

I do want to reproduce this photo, though, because I think Mr. Clokey’s done a great job at recreating what William Shakespeare might look like at a 70s swinger/cocaine party. I couldn’t have done that.

I’m a great admirer of animation in general, and Clokey’s advances in claymation deserve respect and admiration.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Cardboard Animation

Posted in Art, Miscellaneous, Stephanie Gerolimatos, video with tags , , , , , , on October 17, 2009 by ssstephg

Years ago when I was feeling a little defeated about my search for a house in the midst of the housing bubble, my friend Leo told me he’d build me a house out of corrugated cardboard.  Leo is a master at transforming cardboard into all manner of useful stuff, and I’m certain he could have built something spectacular and livable.  He said a cardboard house would prolly only last about 5 years in this New England weather and so in the end I opted for a more traditional abode.

This animation by Sjors Vervoort uses cardboard in a fairly straight-forward but effective manner.  I think Leo would approve.
