My work is on the front of The Association of Illustrators Journal this issue and I have an Interview inside. It was written by Mark Webster.

Holland Animation Festival










I was away in November for the Holland Animation Festival. I was on the jury for commissoned films and had such a lovely time. I met some old friends, made some new friends, brought a new teapot and a machine for making music with punched paper. It was the perfect week....

Unicycle Film October 2008

This is the first blog entry for my Animate Projects Commission. I will try and upload something new every two weeks. I am busy testing materials, cameras and really enjoying having some time to play. I have been working big. Lots of plaster of paris, wood and paint and I think I will be continuing in this way.


Here are some photos and some timelapse footage for October. I am trying to find a beautiful old clock and date device that I can present in every timelapse sequence from now on.

I helped my friend Tom Dean with his viral campaign for Ford. Here is the film and a making of documentary. It was really good fun.

I did the pre-vis and plotted out the camera moves.
