Everytime I walk pass Hove Museum & Art Gallery (19 New Church Road), I can't help but visit the second floor and observe the fascinating Zoetropes, Phenakistoscope, Thaumatrope and Praxinoscope. Amazing objects from the 1800 that show us some animation principles

Here is the biggest zoetrope in the world - Guinness World Record - Sony BRAVIA-drome:

I would like to mention, the modern take on the traditional zoetrope, recently released by Pixar with Toy Story characters:

And last but not least, the fantastic Tim Wheatley 's Cyclotrope!

Cada vez que paso por  El Museo y Galería de Arte de Hove, no puedo evitar ir al segundo piso, y ver los fascinantes Zoótropos, Phenakistoscope, Thaumatrope y Praxinoscope. Unos objetos impresionantes del 1800, de los que podemos aprender algunos principios de la animación.

Este es el zoótropo más grande del mudo -Record Mundial Guinness- Sony BRAVIA-drome:

Me gustaría mencionar la versión actualizada del zoótropo tradicional, que recientemente ha realizado Pixar, con los personajes de Toy Story

¡Y por último, pero no por ello de menor importancia, el fantástico Cyclotrope de Tim Wheatley!

Doodling Monsters.

Hello everyone!

In my previous post,  Mermaids and Mermen,  I ask you to tell me what kind of monsters you want me to do.
Here are the first monsters tailor-made to Laura, Annette, Amparo and Cesar's comments. Remember that you can still send 
me messages with suggestions for new creatures.

Have a monstrous weekend!

¡Hola a todos!

Aquí tenéis los primeros monstruos hechos a medida, según los comentarios de Laura, Annette, Amparo y César. Os

¡Pasad un fin de semana monstruoso!
