saturday night showcase: ava k

Last night's Saturday Night Showcase brought to you by the letters A K and L, as in Ava K Lamb, as in Ava K and Curious Poses. Musicians, filmmakers and performers, Ava and Tesla are the video equivalent to spin art, but along with paint they also use ironic humor, improvised dance and punk rock, so in my opinion they are BETTER THAN SPIN ART. Ava also runs an Advice Blog, where you can sign up for her Inspiration Newsletter.

Here, Ava K tells us How! To Do Things


How to Make a Button by filmmaker/actress Miranda July


Betty Boop bats her eyelashes in "Minnie the Moocher" (1932)

some of it him rotoscoped as a ghost walrus
