• Had a great afternoon, researching and warming up for a fun side project at work. Pen, ink and finger tip. I managed to end up with over 50 drawings. I snapped them on my Iphone and took a few through Photoshop. A few were coloured for fun while watching Reign of Fire. I doubt the project will look anything like the stuff here, but I'm sufficiently revved up for it now. Had to shake off the cobwebs from many months of making notes on Fleabag. 
















  • Rubbish joke, and it doesn't even look like him. And I should be cleaning the house.





  • A selection of some of the scribbles from today.







  • Some late night doodles. Cheap paper, cheap pen and Quink. Top two are Frankensteins monster. Bottom two...I dunno.

  • Trying for a straight Popeye. Done before the ones below to learn about his cool shapes.
    With texture even.






  • I took the time off typing to doodle today. Popeye is great fun.




  • Drawing in Sketchbook Pro is a joy. I'd forgot.


  • Having a few days break. Pushing on with my new years resolution to draw again/more.


  • Bit late....but have a Fart-tastic New Year!

  • Here's Fleabers and the guys in the Radio Times. We had our first hate tweet the other day. "CITV sinks to a new low". It's not even on telly yet! No such things as bad publicity as they say. Even if they use a really early image.
    Face palm as my teenage son would say.


  • Deliveries chug along. Everyone thats seen the show so far loves it. Hopefully the kids will. Fleabag Monkeyface airs on CITV 19th December at 4.30.














  • Really small drawings!

    I think if you direct, the very least you should do is thumbnail what you want. A black pen and a marker....great fun!
    The first shows have been delivered anyway. That will continue now into the new year.

  • Maveric, Changboon and John

    Im back from a great trip to Sparky animation and Terafire in Singapore. Thanks to KC and the Team at Sparky, and my new pal John Kuek at Terafire for looking after me and Jon. Maveric and Changboon also pictured. Great foley work guys!



    I didn't get the name of the guy above but he was crazy good. 

    A lot of things were resolved in the days spent in the sound studio. I love doing the sound. Tweaking levels and timing until you don't hear a sound effect but only your characters moving and living in their environment. It always amazes me how nailing the sound can suddenly snap your characters into being.  Theres still minor tweaks but they are pretty much nailed. MIP next week... I think FB will make a big impact.




  • In the news...well, a picture anyway.
