I just found out that the Diesel SFW advert that I did with Viral Factory and Keith Schofield has wona Cannes advertising festival Golden Lion!
Its Like an oscar for the advertising world I guess. I’m chuffed to bits!
I am credited as working for Biganimal which is the name of the studio I was working out of at the time.
Biganimal is Dom Del Torto and he composited the animation on this job. See his site HERE

At ustwo™ (studio of dreams™) we’re soon going to be releasing ‘Signature Mouth’ for our iPhone app MouthOff™. The app (available now on the App store) is a sound reactive game where you have a set of different mouths to choose from that animate in time with your voice. The ‘Signature Series’ is being added soon and includes 12 illustrators including Pete Fowler, Jon Burgerman and me! You can see interviews with all the illustrators here.
Of course I have added a Paris hair signature mouth which you can use to impress your friends and tame wild animals:
I’ll be posting again to let you know exactly when the updated version of the app including the signature series is available from the app store…

OMG they said it couldn’t happen - but it did! I must make an announcement. I am very pleased to say I have started my first ever full time job. My new roll as Head of Content at the amazing design company ustwo™ will see me continuing to make incredible artwork but with added power to create stronger, faster, better projects!
This is beginning to sound like a soap commercial.
I’m going to be overseeing the studio’s work as it pushes its animated and live action content whilst working with a permanent team of really talented team of designers and animators.
This may mean that I might end up posting more work here on this site as i have always been a little reticent to plaster too much stuff here as I was always painfully aware it acts as shop window for clients. Look out for more personal projects here in the furture along with regular updates on the work I’ll be doing here at ustwo™.
Thanks for listening and stay tuned!
The heads over at Creative Review have taken a liking to the Mouth Off iPhone application I animated. Check out the great video they made as it really shows off the app in a good light:
Hi! As you may or not know I spent some time two years ago putting together a proposal for an animated kids TV series. It’s called ‘Pups And BIG’ and is about a little puppy dude called Pups who befriends a giant flea called BIG. You can read all about the series at the dedicated blog HERE.
Anyway I was desperate to get in some animation practice last week so I out this run cycle of BIG down and added some handmade sound effects. I now present to you the first moving images of BIG for your delight…
