A new exhibition at Bowdoin College showcases pop-up books—for children and adults—from the Harold M. Goralnick (Class of ’71) Pop-up Book Collection. The exhibition, which is open to the public free of charge, is located on the second floor of Bowdoin’s Hawthorne-Longfellow Library and runs through June 5, 2011.
Incredible craft.
I used to love my Walt Disney Studio “The Black Hole” pop-up book. Still got it somewhere!!
Jamie Bell (aka DispleasedEskimo) made this for his AS Art Course.
“This is the final piece for my AS art course, a flipbook made entirely out of biro pens. It’s something like 2100 pages long, and about 50 jotter books. I’d say I worked on and off it for roughly 3 weeks.”
I’m so old and out of touch that I don’t know how old ‘doing an AS’ makes him – but he got full marks.
I saw this at the weekend for the Winter Olympics.. and loved it.

Marc Craste was briefed by agency RKCR/Y&R to create a film based around a legendary quest, where an Inuit hero retrieves a spiritual stone that has been stolen from a mystical totem by a giant bear. While performing his mission, our hero reveals some pretty nifty sporting skills that would prove useful at the Olympics, including skiing, snowboarding, and curling. The film was commissioned via Red Bee Media, agency: RKCR/Y&R, prod co: Studio AKA, director Marc Craste.
The beeb have a habit of commissioning smart promos for these kind of big events. Remember these?
