Wishing You a Spooky Animated Halloween!

I’ve been rather enjoying putting my animation hat on again & having some fun with it. I recently made a video for my band Cult Figures which has been selected to screen in competition in the Music Video category of the London International Animation Festival (LIAF) 2026 which was a nice surprise when frequently making new work feels like bashing my head against the wall!
 

A Bitter Disappointment.

There MUST be a German word for that bitter feeling when the expensive coffee you have to buy because everyone’s bought the cheaper one is definitely inferior?!?

These Cats Are Sick Of Your Sh*t.

 

RIP Bill Oddie.

A quick Kitten Kong in memory of the great Bill Oddie (or 'Biloddy' as I thought he was called when I was a kid!)
The Goodies were a huge presence in my childhood - it was delightfully surreal & along with a big dose of The Beano, Asterix books & Monty Python probably helped shape a lot of my humour.

Will be missed.

'Gaza Is SO Bracing!'

 

My Trump-based take on the classic John Hassall ‘Skegness is So Bracing’ poster.
I was actually just paid because this was NOT published by Private Eye (they intended to but eventually didn’t have space) which is slightly bitter sweet but I’d be churlish to complain.

My main work tends to be childrens’ book illustration but I find the political work comes out mainly through rage & frustration, it’s very rare that I actually get paid for it, it’s more like a pressure valve.

It’s maybe an odd balance but I’ve never been adept at compartmentalising my work - which is unfortunately probably detrimental career-wise - I’ve never been good at good decisions! Unfortunately impulse tends to dominate over curation every time!

D’oh!

Goths in Hot Weather

During this hot weather, who will think about the goths?!?
