Doodles, screen prints and lots of people

Hello

Ive been busy doing screen prints at the moment, I guess thats my wind down after the animation, Work is starting to crank up again with a commercial im helping out on and some other bits and bobs.

I have been left with the responsibility to design the show reel for my courses Christmas exhibition, so ive been having a play with some ideas.










I put together a little animatic but im doing the process by hand. same for the interface sequence.

I want to keep the logo really clean and simple, as im printing it out and animating it. It also needs to be universal as their is a mixture of work on show (its not just the matt show reel, otherwise id have my little doodles all over the design)


Here is a new idea for a screen printing series Im going to do. Ill post pictures of the new screen prints ive done next week.

Im going to run off a limited 30 runs of each one and sell them.




I also got featured on the awesome Cartoon Brew which led way to an inane amount of people watching my video. So thank-you to Cartoon brew! :)


I also made some new business cards.

Ive been taking a break...

Ive been taking a well earned break from blogging. At the same time Ive still been really busy, I had a one on one portfolio review with Paul Wilkinson from MTV which went really well. It was quite hard to cram everything in to a few five minuets but I did it and he asked for one of my DVD's, so who knows.

The new animation also screened at Bradford Animation festival, so now ive officially had my festival cherry popped.

Its been going down really well, the major gripe with it, is that people want more, well I have more time on the next one so you may get two minuets :) I just need some extra hands.

Also Id like to thank Elijah B Torn for doing the music on my animation. Thank you, your screen print is being done on Wednesday for you! I hope we can do something together again.

David Mack also liked the animation, which made my day as hes a major influence on my work.


Also another shout out for James Lester who put up with my erratic work schedule. He also did the Leeds Film Festival image below






















I went too London at the weekend where me and the paper master mind Helen Friel planned world paper domination.
While in London I not only got to experience the joys of spending £3.40 on a pint! I met Julia Pott who I bought a Zine off and then shyly ran away as Im a major fan of her work.

This Friday I will be grabbing my pens and doodling away at Best Joined Up, although this time all my animations will be screening in the exhibition space.






















So you should come down and say hello and ill draw you a doodle.


Im currently re designing the whole website, its in need of a much needed make over, its served its purpose well but its time for change :)



I got a little distracted and started drawing over what I had done. If some of the links aren't working, Ive taken them out (this has happened in the video section, their are links to my Vimeo and Youtube on the moving image page.) The print section is really out of date so too keep up on my doodlers go to my flickr or just keep checking back on the blog ill always drop what Im up too on here.

That's it for now, over and out.

woop new animation

pah I hate uploading videos to the net the quality goes out the window. but here it is
