I made this in 2008. And didn’t put it on the internet until today…
Related: I have started a tumblr. It’s called Once Upon A Spacetime, and it is to be the electronic box for my MFA bits and pieces.

Christmas Kraken
In my family we do Kris Kringle giving for Christmas, and this time around I’m giving to my brother. I have a couple of bought gifts for him and wanted to add one of my coloured lithographs. He’s a commercial printer and last year he saw one of my lithographs at the printmaking auction. Before he even knew it was mine, he’d commented about how much he liked it. He wasn’t successful in his bidding, and I’ve been meaning to give him one as a gift since then.
The frame that I found wasn’t big enough for the coloured print on its own, so I tore it down and decided to add one of the models from my latest animation. I’m tempted to keep it for myself, and think I’ll do something similar with the other animation models.
In other handmade news, these are gifts in disguise…

Tentacles.
Just sent off an email with my animation details to the organisers of Girls Boys Machines. I had to attach an image, so thought I’d share with everyone else as well.

knowing the score
With a few days to go before it all has to be handed in ready for the screening, Mr Crumpet has pretty much finished up the score for my stop-motion animation! Go and listen here.

Dogs in the Park
Dogs in the Park from Leonie Connellan on Vimeo.
I made this video back in 2006 — it was for my Hybrid Media class it’s the first stop-motion/animation type thing I ever did. It’s a little jittery, but I love Henry’s tail wagglings. The music is Dogs in the Park by The Happies, a brilliant band I used to stalk follow on mp3.com back in it’s heyday. Their website doesn’t seem to work anymore, but you can find them on Eden’s Watchtower Records and MySpace. The whole album Meet the Happies, which this track is from, can be downloaded for free from Reverbnation.
(Sorry, it’s a pretty big file and takes a little while to download. If the video is jumpy, that’s why. I’ll see what I can do about replacing it with a smaller file. In the meantime, be patient.)
