children’s books

Above, Below, and Inbetween

Above, Below, and Inbetween (alternate link) is a prototype for a children’s flip book thing, where you can choose the three different sections of a scene by flipping either the top, middle, or bottom section over (this version just randomly chooses them each time you reload it).

Contains 18 aboves, 18 belows, and 18 inbetweens for a grand total of 5832 combinations.

(Also it runs better if you download it – either here or here – because then the images appear straight away instead of having to slowly load in.)

6. With some islands on one side

4. And which can be found in the book Six Fairy Tales From The Brothers Grimm, illustrated by David Hockney and translated by Heiner Bastian
5. And which I couldn’t stop thinking about
6. After I’d seen it
7. For months on end
