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…

Hello! It’s been a while but I’ve been busy as a bee behind so many scenes its untrue.
I’m taking a time out to let everyone know that ‘Mouth-Off ‘, a brilliant and hilarious app for the iphone has gone live on iTunes.
Its a series of voice-reactive animated mouths (that I’ve illustrated of course) which you use by simply holding the iPhone in front of your face and talking or singing or howling like a wolf etc. The mouth animates along with you, opening louder the higher the volume.
Once you get the hang of it, film yourself doing it and share the love! Go to HERE to find out more about the Mouth-Off community.

The diesel viral ended up getting around 9.2 Million views. I like to freak myself out by imagining all these views happening at once, in one place. Imagine absolutely everyone in London all at once. Now stop and make sure you’re including everyone. It blows my mind.
I recently directed the animation on a viral project to promote Diesel jeans’ 30th birthday. The piece entitled ‘Safe For Work’ was directed by Keith Schofield with myself and three animators here at my studio Biganimal working for an intense 10 day period to disguise 90 seconds of hardcore porn and make it safe-for-work!!
I drew almost all the assets, with each element drawn 5 times, a technique called ‘boiling’, which gives the animated elements more energy and life. You can see the whole animation HERE.
