Morling and the Hoard

One of last years most exciting projects was to create an animation to accompany the sculptures of Katharine Morling, for the exhibition "Morling and the Hoard". Katharine created 10 sculptures based on the designs that decorate the artefacts of the Staffordshire Hoard - the largest Anglo Saxon treasure hoard ever discovered. 

My animation depicts the unearthing of the treasure by Terry Herbert, and its transformation into the ancient mythological gods that Katharine has created.

The exhibition, and animation is on permanent display at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-On-Trent.

 See the animation below (There's audio, so please pump up the volume) :

Many thanks to Katharine Morling, and Emma Broughton.

Also, as an extra like on a dvd, my original storyboards are below:

Whats the point of Art School?

They let me in the Royal Academy! 

The magazine that is..... a slight diversion in style towards a more cartoony approach for this. 

Whats the point of art school? Look closely and you'll see sheep pickling, just sitting, making something out of found body hair, and interpreting the naked body in paint. Ah, golden years.

Thanks to Eleanor Mills, and Sarah Greenberg.

still sleepers

Sorry for the lack of blog posts of late - been working on some exciting new things which will be revealed over the next few weeks. In the meantime I went outside and got on a train and watched the sunrise over the gentle hillocks of Kent whilst speeding backwards to London.

There are still sleeping people on the train. Heres 4 pages of muttering, swaying dreamers.

Artists' Open Houses 2012

I'm really excited to be part of this year's Artist's Open House Art Trail. I'll be showing some of my paintings in house number 4 in Whitstable (161 Cromwell Road), along with Paul Elliott, Kimmy MCharrie, Vicky Hageman, Tom Swift, and Julie Bevan. Its on for the next 3 weekends, so if you're around and about in Whitstable have an adventure around the trail, look at some great art and pop along. Hopefully see you there!
