/ The French poet

The French poet

This is the second frame on the the Mad toucans story. This interactive motion design experiment is about Greensock and javascript animation and researches on the best way of drawing and animating SVG, for the web.

I draw with a pencil or fusain, digitize and clean up and color drawing with Illustrator, export to SVG,  optimize with Jake Archibald’s app SVGOMG and animate with Greensock – Gsap. The inspiration cames from Le Havre city and its harbour, Blaise Cendrars, the toucans and the forest.

… one day, a French poet* trekking through the forest, came across a small group of TOUCANS ! to be continued…

*hommage to Blaise Cendrars who made several trips to Brazil. In the book, “Le lotissement du ciel” he wrote about one of his journey back to France. In the transatlantic ship, he had with him, in his cabin, 250 birds named ‘sept-couleurs’ and tiny monkeys called sagouins.
