“To draw, you must close your eyes and sing.” -Pablo Picasso





WOW! So many different thoughts ran through my mind when I watched this for the first time! First of all the amount of thought, effort, and creativity that went into this video is OUTSTANDING and INCREDIBLE.  The artist is a genius and must have worked on this project for months. When the video first starts you do not realize that it is going to be a constant drawing. It starts out on a city street with passing cars. Actually, the drawings surprised me when they started! It is also amazing how the artist has a constant flow of movement throughout the video.  The music also really syncs up with the movement of the drawings and helps tell the story. One other thing I enjoyed was the amount of shadows that showed on the walls from trees or the passing cars. It meant you could tell time was actually passing by. It was really cool how the robot bug thing kicked over the actual log. It made the drawing seem so real! I thought it was a little gross how throughout the drawing there always seemed to be something eating another thing. I felt like there was a constant eating of heads. Don’t get me wrong… it is really creative! It’s just not really my thing. Another gross thing that happened was when the head threw up all those black ants. Yikes! The detail for when the spider-monkey-human was crawling around in the basement is amazing. It was pretty neat how it kept running into the metal piece and the metal piece would move plus make a noise. How did the artist make the man with the glasses and the briefcase eat the paper? The effects of this video are fantastic! Wait a second…. I think I figured out how the artist did that! Maybe the artist kept ripping the paper into smaller pieces and that’s how the artist got that effect. That is quite clever! I loved how the brain crawled from inside to outside. It was a nice transition to get back outside! Overall I enjoyed this video! The creativity in this artist is out of this world!
