2009 New Year’s Greeting by Art Grootfontein
January 12, 2009 2:16 pm
Every year around the holidays I receive a whole slew of animated greeting cards. The new year’s greeting below by French artist Art Grootfontein is the most impressive from this past season’s batch of e-cards. It should be evident from the piece itself, but Grootfontein also tells me that one of his favorite sources of inspiration is my book Cartoon Modern. |

coincidentally, i just watched this yesterday: http://users.skynet.be/pdauwe/ursula_martinez.wmv and it too uses Mancini’s A Shot in the Dark. Who doesn’t love a little magic once and a while?
i should also say i thought the cartoon/animated greeting card was great!!
–thanks!
I like it. Good stuff.
I lost interest at 0:50.
Curious to see a monochrome photographic safelight and photochemical technology showcased in something done in Flash. It’s hip to be old school, at least in a Christmas card.
Haha! The build up for the end is pretty cute. Colors were my favorite part.
Very nice…yep, that book is a CONSTANT source of inspiration. I know it completely changed the way I approached design.
I like it! Kinda Cartoon Modern with a cut-out feel to it.
Very cool!
