Remember flip books? The early form of animation that allowed you to move through a sequence of images with the power of your own mighty thumb? That artistic technology was first introduced in the late 1800s and gained popularity in the 1930s when Cracker Jack Company gave them away as in-box prizes. You probably had one as a kid — whether found in a cereal box or as a souvenir from Disneyland.
Los Angeles based artist duo Wendy Marvel and Mark Arnon Rosen have loved flip books since the first time they laid eyes on them. So much so that they wanted up update the vintage artistic practice without losing any of its hundred-year-old magic.
