Here’s a 20 second silent animation I worked on recently for Smile for London short film competition. Have a look at the film on the Smile for London group page and if you log in or sign up and ‘like’ the lumberjack film you might see it on the London Underground.
I worked hard last year producing drawings for an animated film for Nokia commissioned by Wieden + Kennedy. The animation illustrates Nokia environmental initiatives and it was great to get a chance to work with animation director Steve Scott and a team of talented animators at Not To Scale who brought my drawings to life. Lots of the animation was hand-drawn frame by frame and there’s a great 3D shot moving through buildings at the beginning. Look closely and you should see new bits of detail each time you watch it – an Inuit on a pogo stick, a squirrel in a hard hat operating heavy machinery and a monkey up a lamppost! The animation is set to be shown in IMAX cinemas throughout the UK over the following year. Cheers to Charlie, Chris, Steve, Jen, Ryan, Shay and LP.

I have produced some drawings that have been animated by 0404 Creative for the new series of River Cottage on Channel 4. Here is a bit about the series…
‘Armed with a fishing rod, Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall begins an investigative culinary journey around the British Isles to discover alternative, delicious and sustainable seafood and with plenty of help from local fish fanciers he discovers a vast array of underrated seafood, and great ways of making it taste fantastic’
Follow Hugh’s fishy journey (and see some animated bits by me) from Thursday 8th November at 8pm on C4.


I am currently working doing drawings for the new animated series of Empire Square, I have been sketching out backgrounds, props and characters. The 6 new episodes are about 20 minutes long and will air in the US.
