Me, swimming

Place for a film to happen...

I'm drawing some funny little buildings in rural locations at the moment that I think will provide the setting for some animation, one day. Here's my favourite so far.

Another sketch from my Inktober.

Inktober! Zhora's plastic mac

I'm doing my best to complete 'inktober' by making 1 ink drawing everyday this month. Here I tried to capture the beautiful spectacle of Zhora's death in the original Blade Runner, which I've JUST got round to watching. The styling and montage is incredible and it's surely going to haunt me.

Pygmalion - performance photos from Stroud Green Festival, and some of my original drawings

In a month's time I will be headed down to Brighton where Ensemble Moliere will again be performing their modern interpretation of Rameau's opera 'Pygmalion', this time at the Brighton Early Music Festival :) Here are some shots of when they performed at Stroud Green Festival this summer, and some of the original ink drawings I made, that I then animated in After Effects. Click over here to read the Q&A I did for Ensemble Moliere's blog . If you're around Brighton in the last weekend October do come and see it! Tickets can be bought at the BREMF2017 website here.

Vallorcine - veg patch at the end of the world

Beyond the village of Vallorcine in fact... the slow motion hamlet of Barberine at the furthest end of the valley. Here someone has created a beautifully intricate veg patch. Sat down to draw and after 20 minutes endless streams of people in wet suits started passing us!! I can only guess there are some impressive water features nearby and they had all been canyoning. An apparently local lady walked by and asked to see what I was drawing. Then she pointed out the cauliflower plants are arranged in the shape of a snail.

Paulina made the slowest crepes ever created on our camping stove

But they were very quick to disappear
