Last year I decided to travel all the way to the other side of the room to interview Matthew Walker (writer, director, award winner). If you flip to pages 34 and 35 of Imagine Magazine issue 28 (Jan/Feb 2010) you can read all about what we discussed in great depth and also see the mug I got him for his last (I mean latest, not final – touch wood) Birthday. Or you can just click on the image above.

Exciting news of the year so far is that Emma Lazenby’s baby, Mother of Many, (produced here at Arthur Cox by Sally Arthur) has been nominated for a 2010 BAFTA in the best animated short category. What’s she going to wear?

I animated the first two shots in this little clip:

Well done Emma.

It’s been a slow start to 2010 but I’ve been trying to keep busy by doing the following things:

• drawing
• creating the mysterious new webseries
• sorting out a proposal for a new short film idea
• doing some compositing on odd days at work

It’s all glitz and glamour, I’m sure you’ll agree.

I will put some of the drawings up soon but here is something more worth seeing: the icci medley by David Kuo. An animation based on my old i can’t colour in animations. Click the pic to play.

This well and truly made my day.
