I really wanted to approach film making more like I would an art project than a typical film project. It all started from some sketches and canvases that I did a while back (some of the paintings I posted up on here a while back). I drew my ideas from the recurring images in my work. To begin with the aim had been to make a short animation but time rapidly devoured that idea and I was left in a...

Mirrors

I did manage to get a few though. Made me feel good, supporting charity whilst engaging with street art. Now just to start painting them and...

Midnight Mile - Timber! Timber! →
I got a phone call about a week before the shoot asking how quickly I could make a scarecrow. Turns out it took me two days to figure out how to do it with the materials we’d bought.

“Are you scaring my cat?”
“No,” I said “I’m just burning some paper.” Weird moment.

Love this scratchy, loose, textured style. Find ‘Wild Shores of Love’ (it’s in the 1984-99 section). It’s amazing!

My first attempt at hand drawn animation. A friend of mine’s writing a script that involves an animated character, I offered to help out doing some tests to give an idea of what he’s after. This is the first of those, the rest will get better (hopefully).
