Snail Pipe (1983)
This is a series of pencil drawings I made while an undergraduate at Memphis State University. (They are significantly larger than this gif.) This was my first attempt at transformation drawings. The idea was inspired by Rene Magritte’s The Treachery of Images, whose bottom caption read: Ceci n’est pas une pipe, or “This is not a pipe.”
During this time of my life, I was fully immersed in European and American Modernism, and inspiration shows up in different studio classes in different ways. I saw myself as a processor of information and not as someone working in or stealing from a dead style. Truly I never had a style, although many were assigned to my work by others.

Another set of drawings made into a gif.
Anatomy of An Abandoned Animation | Here is another SWF where the elements have been disassembled. The soundtrack is presented below and adds an atmosphere of spookiness to this otherwise harmless transformation. I did not regard this film as substantial, and think it is more interesting in pieces.
