Marcus Armitage's New Work for Alain De Bottons 'School of Life'


Using cutout animations to illustrate Alain De Bottons witty 'What is Literature For', Marcus' latest animation went live yesterday, this time breathing visual life into De Bottons 'School of Life'.

Through his witty and literate books -- and his 'New School of Life -- Alain de Botton helps others find fulfillment in the everyday. Why should we spend our time reading novels and poems when, out there, big things are going on? The School of Life explains why we should be reading - and how we can prescribe literature as a cure for life's many ailments. Marcus' film is a perfect visual compliment to Alains witty words.

Marcus had the following to say about the project: 'It been a great experience working with such a fun technique, and I will be continuing to create similar new work alongside my hand drawn style in the near future'. 

Marcus is at Encounters Festival supporting his film 'Over Dinner', which is screening tonight.
