This is the design  i'll be sounding out to friends this year .

As someone pointed out to me the last sculpture is by the artist  Ivan Mestrovic i left out an "R" .  I was quite tired at this point. 

The Ramones animations are  having a life of their own. Lost count of the blogs and tumblrs that they keep springing up on.  Thanks to Timnapalm among many others for posting them on their blogs and giving them a nice write up.

This was the last day that Gosh Comics operates from 32 Great Russell Street so thought id take a snap of the old place before One more shot of the inside of the old Gosh

Went to the Barbican to check out the big animation exhibition , The place is a maze, they had these cool digital posts dotted around featuring walk cycles .

Yet another project . Been listening to the melancholic Pet Sounds recently and one track in particular. Brian Wilson seems to be popping up all over the place recently.

Another image of what i have been working on .

All the Ramones cartoons that i made stretching back 2 or 3 years are now all unblocked and available to watch again. Warner Music Group must have come to some arrangement with YouTube/Google i really dont know . You get a communication from Youtube when they delete or block a video but not when they unblock it. Happy they're back though . the animation is really 'basic' on some particularly 'Basement' which is a bit painful for me to watch . I didnt have a wacom tablet back then so it was all drawn with a mouse. I did start on 2 other Ramones cartoons. So who knows maybe if the ban using wmg copyrighted artists really is off i'll complete them and put them up.

A couple of practice sketches one with charcoal and the other with a dip pen, which takes a bit of getting used to.

Yes still working my way through the Yellow Submarine tribute, i'll do a proper write up nearer the time it's ready . Probably springtime. Looking good though. I'm trying things i've never attempted before, pushing way past my comfort zone. Its the only way to learn and improve i guess.

something else that should see the light of day soon is my alternative credits to the 60's version of Batman.

Gil Scott Heron passed away recently . I was lucky enough to see him perform live, He'll live on long after, through his work ,music and words. (28th May 2011)

Another good sketchcraw The 30th ! .We ended up in the National Gallery . Want to go back and check out the Bridgit Riley exhibition didn't have time today.

An Audio Misadventure The Sundance Film Festival 2011 starts next weekend. I contributed some animation to one of the films in competition 'Shut Up Little Man'. I think it gets its world premier at Sundance as well . Its about a minutes worth of animation . I haven't seen the film so i'm not sure how it fits in but its a re-make of Orson Welles Frozen Peas outtake that i've had up on youtube for a while. I bust a gut to get it done but i guess its worth it now. . If there was any way to get over to Sundance and see it i would. It should be interesting . I'll have to wait for the dvd or a showing in London So best of luck to Matt and everyone involved for next week and beyond.
