While researching about the artist books, there was one book that really caught my attention. It was a book called ‘Change of Air’ by Jan Voss. The book kind of reminded me of little doodles I did on the corner of my notebooks when I was little. As I flip the pages really fast, the little doodles on the corner became animated. Jan Voss’s book used same method. As a reader flips the page really fast, the drawing of a fan becomes animated and start spinning. But Jan Voss took it one step further from just a little animated image. As the pages flip and the fan becomes animated, the flipping pages blows little wind to the reader’s face, just like a fan would when it is turned on. I thought that bringing out the animated image into real life like that is so interesting.
I want to incorporate drawings in my artist book as well, because I enjoy drawing more than anything. I also want to make the viewers get involved in my book like Jan Voss did with his book, but I am not sure how to do that yet. I want to work with my childhood memory which I remember that since I was very little, The Little Prince was, and still is my favorite book. So I am thinking about drawing a little figure of the little that the readers can place on each page where ever they want, but I am not sure how to put each pages together yet.
