Episode 24 'The Fellowship of the Studio'

-
It has been far too long since my last post. And I also realised how I have barely mentioned the insanity of my amazing dreams. They have mostly been inspired by the various horror films I have recently been watching such as Channel 5's The Dentist and new release Insidious. I am pretty terrible with horror films due to my tendancy to jump at any moment, even if it was a knock on the door or a slightly louder 'hello'.

This is besides the point ofcourse... because I must talk about the animating I have been doing these past few weeks. And the reason for lack of blogging is because of this: it's been 9-5 most weeks. I am not a primary animator, however, but still have been doing alot of test animations with Alex Young, whilst Jon and May get on with the main animation with the Fox and Barney.

The extract below is part of the 'bonus features' we shall include alongside the final Money Tree film. This partilcular video is more of an appreciation film for the props, accompanied by Meringue Radio's hit show The Archers.



So as this video should keep you entertained for now... the four of us must press through this final week and really nail this project. We have worked really well together and it will be ace if we finish strong and on a real high.

    I went to watch that on Vimeo! :) it was so fantastic, just like wallace and gromit. I love how the animals can walk around and communicate <3 I love it how you have animals in it.

Episode 110 'January Blues. Oh and February. Probably'

As I gorge through a packet of Maria biscuits alongside an ill-timed mug of coffee (it's after 18:00) I consider my options. Having a mental list of things is no good, due to the inevitable subconscious winds of change that blow priorities right out of the other side of your head. I need a physical list. Something that I can pin to my laptop or wardrobe door to remind me of the outrageous number of tasks, jobs, projects, ideas and adventures I try to juggle all at the same time. I say outrageous; perhaps others deem it healthy? Healthy to keep busy and follow such keen interests and hobbies?     I cannot deny this, of course. Those who choose a career in the arts are blessed with a creativity that can touch many hearts whilst subsequently earning a (relatively modest) living. But I digress; back to this list of mine! Although my love of list-making is surpassed only by that of tea-making, I can honestly say that my current (yet to be physical) list has overwhelmed me beyond re...

Episode 108 'A coleção de Lisboa'

The exhibition 'evening event' has now come and gone, leaving me in a state of utter exhaustion both physically and mentally. But what a success! I was very happy with the turn out of wonderful folk who braved the bad weather to attend, and I even sold some postcards packs! The art work will remain upon the walls of the Little Yoga Space  for the foreseeable future, so hopefully they will generate some more interest amongst the yoga classes and workshops.  There is an upcoming art market at the Selina Secret Garden hostel in Lisbon and the CCC (Curious Creative Club) have decided to take part. I am hoping to stay involved with these events, not just to sell my work as a side hustle (I've always enjoyed that expression hehe) but to meet more artists and possibly collaborate on bigger projects. The CCC have become a very important part of my creative experience/process at the moment. They have been so supportive of my work, especially on the lead up to the exhibition and have...

Episode 113 'My Wet Hot Portuguese Summer'

It has been a long summer, but one that seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. Many things have happened, but I also feel like I have absolutely nothing to blog about. An age has past since the Annecy festival, and I sit here contemplating my 2024 thus far in regards to my life and career. But unfortunately, at the moment my writing currently goes hand in hand with my emotions (an interesting transition from the days of old, where my frivolously upbeat writing about how I built a pirate ship that one time , also seems so long ago) and I find it hard to focus on just the artwork.     Perhaps my sensitive side is getting the better of me. But I do actually have an explanation for this (I think) and it coincides with one of the many personal projects I have begun, now that I am utterly free of everything. My decision to leave Sardinha em Lata (the Lisbon based animation studio) remains steadfast in my resolve, although I do have moments where I miss the studio life. But thi...
