A Hat

I drew a hat. I know it looks like a background painting but it isn't- it's going to be on a character's head, which will move around like heads do. Much like Double King's crown though, it will co...

Frog Simulator collision test 1

FRENZIED FEET

The toes from that last gif are back. And this time they mean business! Looking forward to making the ground zip along underneath them in completely broken perspective

Some Toes

Obviously quite an unfinished shot here, but in its current state, I thought it offered some good insight into my very dumb animation practices.

DOUBLE KING Concept Sketches (book 1)

My films are made digitally (mostly). Usually, the final designs, as well as the animation, are both made entirely in the computer since the animation methods impact the design. But when I hit a me...

lip syncing birds

A dumb quick WIP of what I did this morning. Namely, lip-syncing a pair of yellow-tailed black cockatoos to a field recording. I'm not sure anyone has animated these birds before, which is a shame ...

From the archives: some cancelled music video

Here's a little thing nobody has seen before, aside from this one very slimy record executive!
