The ABCs of Crime
More than a year ago (on Feb 15, 2019 to be exact) I started a GIF series called The ABCs of Crime.
Well, 61 weeks later and the series is finally COMPLETE!!! The final gif just went out into the world: “Z is for Zoning Violation”.
I’ve actually learned a bit about the criminal dictionary through this series. For example:
There is something very satisfying about even (illustratively) burning something to the ground (“Arson”).
“Hacking” is the funniest crime.
“Racketeering” has nothing to do with actual tennis rackets.
“Smuggling” is the cutest crime to illustrate.
There are very few (if any) legal or criminal words starting with the letter “X” or “Y”.
Having this little ongoing project has been incredibly motivating for exploration simple animations and illustrated shapes. I’m already searching for a theme for my next series… what should it be? My friends’ faces? Doggos? My favourite snacks??? I’m giving myself one week to figure it out!
Check out the full 26-letter series at ABCs of Crime!
