Back to School (again)

I'm currently getting that back to school feeling as September approaches so I went out and brought a whole bunch of new and exciting stationary! Any excuse to feed my addiction.

I'm back in the realms of teaching again, this time all the way up in Northampton. I am currently putting together an animation based on a pirate radio station that features a policeman called Detective McButt. We are recording the young people reading the script for the voice over, I hope there are some budding actors in the group.

Staying on the theme of school and children I went along to the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green this weekend. Can anyone remember Sticklebricks? I used to go mad for those plastics bricks. Plus Spirograph, mmmm precision.

My main mission was to gather some research for a new project on the horizon that involves creepy stop-motion dolls. Did you know they make dolls out of prunes in Germany? There was also a guy made of crab claws, pretty creepy.

I while back I worked on a pixilation animation for the African charity Forget Me Not as part of Curious Media. The finished film is up and running, have a wee look.



A final plug for Shoe's the musical on at Sadler's Wells theatre during the first week of September.
I keep seeing adverts for it all over the place. Go see it!!
