2 Weirdos

Heres two pictures featured in my Weird Whitstable exhibition..... come and see if you believe!

In the summer of 1935, sunbathers and holiday makers witnessed a sea serpent near Herne Bay. It was chased away by local boats, but it still lives!

In the icy winter of 1940, the sea’s waves froze in shape, and formed ice mountains.

You can see in the photograph, local climbing clubs using them for practice.

Weird Whitstable is coming....

Very excited to be on the cover of the Kent Messenger's Whats On section this week!

Its been several years of collecting stories and artefacts, but at last theres enough to prove to the sceptics that theres a darker side to Whitstable just round the bend. Beyond the slippy oysters and whopping whippy ice creams, in the shadows, when the Londoners have returned to Hackney, peculiar things emerge. Eerie sounds echo down the ancient streets. The howling..... the clip-clop of undead ponies.... the tinkling of china tea sets from out at sea. Oh my gawd! Draw the curtains! Don't look!

Do look, I dare you!

Weird Whitstable is on display from 13 February until 31 March, at Whitstable's Horsebridge Gallery 3.

Come along, prepare to quiver....

Many thanks to Chris Price, who wrote this piece for the paper.

UPDATE! Weird Whitstable has been delayed for unexplained reasons. 

The show will now open on Saturday 16th February......

Margate A&E

Don't get chest pain in Margate - you may have to wait for 3 hours in A&E before you decide to go home as no doctors or nurses are available to fix your heart.

Luckily Canterbury A&E is full of doctors and nurses. 

Thanks doctors and nurses for looking after S.

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:
