"I'll fly away"

this is something i've been wanting feed back on for a while, its just a reaction to one of my favorite hymns "I'll Fly Away" it kind of reminds me of the very childlike desire, to fly away from everything and everyone.

i have some little details left to do, such as, im toying with making the papers under his arms, sheet music and maybe adding some tape between the pages. What do yall think?

Here are the lyrics

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

WIP for August: Wrinkle in Time transformation quick test

Yes, I'm still working on it, but it's looking good...I think. Sorry for the bad quality, but it's only a quick test and I was too cheap to buy istopmotion.

SPACE: TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE!

That's right STAR TREK: The Next Generation! A show I watched religiously as a kid every night with my sister while eating from our snack cups. So it's no wonder that when I think of space I think of Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise and his loyal crew member, first officer Commander William Riker who is known to have a love fling with counselor Deanna Troi, and Doctor Beverly Crusher who always has a tri-corder handy to scan you with, and Lieutenant Geordi La Forge, the blind engineer nerd, and officer Lieutenant Worf, the tough Klingon, and my favorite, the android Lieutenant Commander Data who has a love for cats. : ) Yes...I just totally geeked out on all of you.

And for you non-trekkies, some research material:

WIP for August LATE!

Oops! Lost track of time! This is my idea for August: Famous Novels!

I re-read the novel "A Wrinkle in Time" a favorite of mine. My favorite moment is when Mrs. Whatsit turns in to a alien creature that looks a lot like a centaur.

Here is a link to read all about the book:

Soooo, I decided to tackle some old school animation. Below is my video of just timed out rough drawings of the transformation of Mrs. Whatsit.
