Rethink Creativity

Chris Serravalle won a contest for a scholarship advertisement with this stop motion, pop up book video, and it's absolutely delightful. Not to mention, all good tips for better ideas.

The Book is the Art

A great collection of art book images over at BibliOdyssey is inspiring. Pulled from the Art Institute of Chicago's Joan Flasch Artist Book Collection, the archive is searchable by medium, binding, or category. The example below is a Wizard of Oz pop up book. I never did do the pop up book I had wanted to, but some of the books in this collection are reviving that desire.


The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Robert Sabuda

Electronic Pop Up Book Extraordinaire

Amazing, right? I've been mulling over making pop up books as Christmas presents. Then I came across this on Art:21 Blog. I'm not quite up to snuff yet, but if I can get my boyfriend to figure out the wiring thing, maybe. There's a wealth of pop up books on Youtube, should you feel similarly inclined to do present research this morning.
