Struwwelpeter by Bob Staake and Wyld Stallyons

Stumbled across this animation test by Wyld Stallyons, of “The Boy Who Sucked His Thumbs” by Bob Staake, from his Struwwelpeter book. I have a few of Staake’s books but can’t believe I hadn’t seen this one before. And this animation is BRILLIANT! Coupled with the Tom Waits song, it’s perfect.

I could watch it all day! Now to get my hands on the book…

If you’re interested in process, the videos of Bob Staake working on youtube are a must. He works with Photoshop 3.0 (NOT CS3, 3.0!). You’ll see! His interview on Escape From Illustration Island is gold too – such a dude.
