Trees over Exmouth

The other day I was sat in the offices of New Bamboo, when I noticed the trees outside moving in the wind. I don't know any other cities that can quite compete with London's capacity for simultanious urban and natural environments. Maybe I just need to travel more, but to me, this is one of the best reasons to live in London.

Oh yeah, and so I filmed it. Because that's what I tend to do when I like something. Enjoy.

End of the Road 2010!

I've just come back from End of the Road Festival in Dorset, where I've been helping set up, documenting, and then running the children's animation workshop over the weekend. To begin with, here's a little time lapse I worked on with Glenn Taunton (mine are the piano stage and nighttime shots). For extra fun, keep an eye out for some wandering shoes, and Keiran's hat.

I also painted up a rather oversized hardback, for Julian Mash's literary addition to this years festival.

With a little help from a handpicked team of highly skilled illustrators; Owen Davey, Kai Wong and Chris Boyce...

Owen Davey and Chris Boyce, along with Leila Watts, were also new on the team for this years animation workshop, which was as popular as ever. It's always rewarding to see parents being dragged to our corner of the field by over enthusiastic children as soon as they arrive on site, and this year was no exception.

Another year, another success. And now it's straight into another project, with many familiar faces from the festival.

That is to say that I'll be working on a new music video with Simon Taffe for indie-pop band Allo Darlin' over the next few weeks.

You'll be hearing more about that as soon as it's finished. For now, I can tell you it will involve cardboard.

Lots of cardboard...
