How to Make a House Fly

Remember the little drawing I did a couple years ago of the science fiction museum in Switzerland taking off and flying? It's also on page 213 of Imaginative Realism.


 
Friends of Maison d'Ailleurs have made a video showing how it's done. It proves what's possible with a small budget and a big imagination.

    As you say, they did a lot but very simply.

    Very cool. The book that you suggested for realistic painting of light and color in a previous blog is on its way! I am very excited to read it
    Merry Christmas!

    Excellent ! I like your poster of the flying Maison d'Ailleurs.

    I'm a Friend of the Maison d'Ailleurs but never saw this movie. Thank's.
    I have been asked for a poster this summer for a Movie Festival organised by the
    same association. I realised a walking Maison d'Ailleurs based on the Howl's moving castle by Miyazaki

    you can find it here ;-)
