Here is my new film ‘Mr Director’ in all it’s glory…

The biggest ego in film directing tells us his story of a lifetime in the movie business with clips from some of his films, archive interviews and exclusive behind the scenes footage.

Lets meet the man, the legend that is ‘Mr Director’.

My short film ‘Mr Director’ will be released online on the 4th August 2015.

I love the Pictoplasma character design festival, every time I go I come back inspired to make new work. This year I was honoured to be asked to be a conference speaker at the event and to participate in a Character Portrait exhibition they were putting on. Thanks to Lars, Peter and all the Pictoplasma team for inviting me to be part of the festival this year. I can’t wait for the next one!

Here are some behind the scenes images taken while making my new animation “I am a…” for the Pictoplasma Portrait Exhibition.

New showreel for 2014.

I’ve also refreshed my website with a new design and some new bits of animation and illustration. Check it out here.

On the 8 April I will be speaking at See No Evil as well as the very talented Tom Muller. If you are in London you should come along. I’ll be playing the full animated short of ‘The Planets’ and showing for the first time anywhere my new stop motion short 'Plasticine Rhythm’ as well as some other bits and pieces.

Here’s the page of brainstorming I did for “Selfie”.

This week I’ve been making some merchandise for The Planets project. I’m creating stickers and postcards but first up was a production of planet badges.
