If you follow her you feel that she is part of your life because so much of herself is online. She posts to her Instagram, both stories and artwork, many many times a day. One last thing I will say about Molly Fairhurst is that she is a thoroughly modern artist. Adorable, sweet, hand made messy in a blue and off white palette - and perfect. The piece I have posted is pure Molly Fairhurst. Her little animation of last Christmas ‘Snowboy Star and Seekan’ was a beautiful and perfect heartbreakingly sweet, and short, motion poem. She doesn’t just move her drawings around as some illustrators trying to get into animation do. I admire how she has made the animation of her illustrations an extension of her style. As I said before, despite her seemingly casual handmade style she is an great editor of her own work. No extras, no obvious looping to extend things. Everything is always moving, pulsing, in a gentle way. The movement all works perfectly with her style of drawing. Every bit of animation, seemingly simplistic, is carefully considered - there is not a wasted frame. In that past year I have noticed her doing more and more animation and her approach to it is exactly the same. ![]() Because of this every single thing she does feels like Molly Fairhurst. Every seeming mistake is in there because she realizes it adds to the overall feel. She is extremely judicious about the use of color. All of her drawings are made by hand and they always looks adorable and clever and a bit messy but every single line and blot and color is carefully considered. I love her work because of how simple and yet how perfectly calculated it is. ![]() It is just 30 seconds and is shows Nov 6 at the Out the Window exhibition in Bristol UK. Her work does not *quite* fit the category of short form motion I typically write about but for this latest piece I decided to throw caution to the wind. Molly Fairhurst is an established illustrator and animator based in Bristol UK. ![]() I have been wanting to write about Molly Fairhurst for a long time. Who knows what the future may bring.Īnyone who ever wants to reach out to me for any reason can always DM me on twitter I do appreciate the support I have received for my writing of this blog in Tumblr over the years and will keep it alive, at least for reposting articles I write in UNDRGRND. UNDRGRND is a very good publication and you can learn about interesting NFT artists and trends if you follow it as well as read my pieces when they first come out. I am being paid a small amount so you can surely understand how I could prioritize that for now at least. I had planned to repost my articles here but I have not found time to do that work and so instead will post links to what I have written so far. I have not abandoned this blog but I am now focusing my efforts writing about Motion Art in the new publication about NFTs art called UNDRGRND.
