Dazed Digital May Playlist Animation

I did this short animation for Dazed Magazine's Online Playlist. Check out the playlist here. The A was part of my alphabet illustration and ever since I drew it I wanted to animate it. The brief was to do whatever I wanted as long as it said Dazed Digital Playlist. So here it is...enjoy!

Swami - work in progress

Another project I'm working on at the moment with a friend. Nearly finished all the visuals for it and it is going to become interactive soon!

I am having a bit of a crazy day today. I am happy because I got my RCA interview results and I got in (!!!) to do Animation so now I'm finding it hard to concentrate and work. All I've done today was the Eye of Horus on this drawing and a few leaves on the tree.

I've also been trying to arrange pet transport to take my cat to Cyprus so that he can live his life in a house with a garden rather than in tiny places in London and realised what a mission it is (and incredibly unreasonably priced). My ticket is a third of my cat's ticket.

Work in progress - Ecology

I have been interested in green energy and ecology lately so I wanted to make something to express my beliefs on the subject. I think I'm going to make a big illustration or -maybe- an animation. 

I sent an e-mail to Greenpeace to let them know what I intend to do and they sent a really encouraging reply back, which motivated me even more to work on this project.

These are just some of the elements I will be using. I miss working with real materials, I've been making everything on the computer lately so I think I will try making some models at some point and use them as backgrounds for projects.

The Eagleman Stag by Mikey Please

A beautiful BAFTA award winning short film by the amazing Mikey Please whom I also had the pleasure to meet at the Pictoplasma conference/festival in Berlin. Beautiful story and visuals!

I have started an illustration on ecology. It is still at a very early stage since I have to do quite a lot of things at the same time like self-promotion and learning 3D Max. I have an interview for the RCA Animation course on Tuesday which is exciting!

Literary Platform Animation

My animation for the Literary Platform animation competition made it on the top ten longlist! Yay! A big thank you to everybody who voted! Results will come out on Towel day (25 of May). Wish me luck!

Alice Pattullo

Beautiful illustrations by my incredibly talented friend Alice Pattullo. You can see more of her work on her portfolio website. Had a really great time with her yesterday eating chocolate and talking about the world of illustration.

Aaron Leighton

Aaron Leighton gave a really interesting talk about his work at Pictoplasma in Berlin and I was lucky enough to meet him. These photographs/illustrations are part of his Spirit City Toronto project (which also got published in a book) and you can see more of his work here. Aaron enjoys discovering and documenting creatures in boring urban landscapes. If you look hard enough next time you go for a walk maybe you can see them too!
