Based on Exodus 12: 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

The Apocalypse is The Book of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible, which predicts the end of the world in almost psychedelic language. I created nearly 300 animated loops to accompany the full text of the King James Version, which you can view online for free at ApocalypseAnimated.com
Lenticular cards let you hold a bit of animation in your hands. Tiny parallel lenses on the cards store multiple frames — usually 8, sometimes more or less — which “play” when you tilt the card vertically. The complete set of ten, 5” x 7” cards includes:
1. The heavenly Throne from Revelation 4 2. The Lamb (with 7 horns and 7 eyes) from Revelation 5 3. The Four Horsemen from Revelation 6 4. The stinging Locusts from Revelation 9 5. The Woman and the Dragon from Revelation 12 6. The Earth Beast from Revelation 13 7. The Number of the Beast from Revelation 13 8. The Temple from Revelation 15 & 16 9. The Whore of Babylon from Revelation 17 10. The Tree of Life from Revelation 22
The cards are packaged in a re-useable plastic envelope with a hook-end-eye closure.
Autographed copies include my hand-signature on the title card, and an embossed gold seal with the Alpha and Omega symbol.
The ApocalypseAnimated lenticular card set is a great way to learn about the Book of Revelation. Each card has relevant text printed on the back. My hope is that people will discover the text through the images, and gain a richer understanding of this highly unusual piece of shared cultural heritage. givesendgo.com/apocalypseanimated

A Hundred Dollar Dawing: http://blog.ninapaley.com/category/hundred-dollar-drawings It was a nightmare getting the video from my iPhone to my desktop, thanks to Apple's garbage tools and worthless "Photos" app, and general approach to hiding files. We couldn't even find the file using Terminal. I ended up making new, smaller duplicate videos on my phone and importing them via Image Capture, but not until long after I'd developed a terrible headache and hatred of life. And yes I have Dropbox, but the original video was apparently "too long" for it to upload. When Dropbox can't get the #@!&% video, you have to use other tools. Which fail one after another, because Apple.2016 10 29 Cat and DragonNina Paley2016-10-29 | Stef's "a cat and a dragon" Hundred Dollar Drawing.

I auto-traced part of the Declaration of Independence, then manually turned it into just a few continuous shapes, joining letters and eliminating all the "holes". This allowed me to outline everything in a single step, using the "ink bottle" tool. This is for the upcoming $100 Bill Quilt, part of PaleGray Lab's Quilt Money project.

Here I manually removed many small connections and added only a few to make "100" into one continuos line. This is for our upcoming $100 Bill Quilt, part of PaleGray Lab's Quilt Money project.

I began with concentric offset lines made in Illustrator. To turn them into as few paths as possible, I had to adjust the vertices and connections manually, adding small lines some places and removing them others. I'm not aware of any way to automate this yet, because there are so many aesthetic considerations. This is for the upcoming $100 Bill Quilt, part of PaleGray Lab's Quilt Money project.
