fifty ways to wank

Commissioned work, 2021

Agnes Xantippa Boman and I were commissioned by the poet Hollie McNish to make an animation for her poem fifty ways to wank, presented in her book titled ‘Slug: and other things I’ve been told to hate’.

This animation was used as a promotional video in connection with the release of Hollie McNish’s new book.

The poem is a celebration of female masturbation: aiming to remove the stigma surrounding the topic.

This animation was digitally hand-drawn frame by frame. Me and Agnes Xantippa Boman worked carefully to merge our illustration styles together to make the scenes we animated blend well after one another. We decided on a mostly black and white colour palette to make our sparing use of color stand out and hold focus.
