Direct Animation


Letterpress printing directly on film has been a blast. I was introduced to direct animation in 2014 and was immediately smitten. I had to get film into the presses right away. Stay tuned for some uploads you can link to from here, or check out my May Day Press FB page where some short clips are uploaded.

These are stills on this page, not videos that will play.

And butterflies, too.
