1st April '09 :: New cartoon: TIME

You wait two months for an update and they all come at once. I bet you're expecting this to be an April fool's joke aren't you? No, it's a real update (I only just noticed that it was April the 1st so it's too late to do anything now). This is actually the first of four cartoons I made for the Playboy website last year and it's called TIME.

15th Sept '08 :: New Jerry Jackson Cart2n

Jerry's back from the USA where he told me he's been working on the CGI for the next Superman film. He has taken some time out though to offer you a brand new cartoon he's made about food. He's clearly picked up some hot new skills from the big Hollywood studios so prepare to be dazzled.

27th July '08 :: New Animation: Crooked Rot

A return to the stop-motion here with Crooked (Orcus) Rot. This started off as an experiment to see if stop-frame would be any better using an SLR camera. The result would certainly suggest so visually, but it was a hell of a lot harder. This project really began when I discovered a treasure cave of strange items in my own back yard including mannequin heads and rubber hands. It inspired me so much that every time I returned I gathered more inspiration. Originally I focused on capturing light which is why the SLR was so important, but eventually it almost became a sequel to Hell with all the blood flying about . Composer Marcus Fjellström who donated some of his music for Men From Up The Stairs became interested in the project when I posted a few screen shots on Newgrounds and went on to compose the entire musical score. This is interesting because it's the first time that I have made the video first and then sent it to someone else to do the music. He did an amazing job.
