Robin Williams
Some sketches for an animated stand up piece from his Reality What A Concept Album. I didnt get round to finishing it. But the man was a genius.Free form mind and i'd put his stand up on when i really wanted a belly laugh and not an "oh how amusing" half chuckle.

Thief At BFI
Was lucky enough to get a ticket to a Bfi screening of Moment In Time Thief & The Cobbler including a Q&A. with Director Richard Williams. who had some sage advice against dealing with financiers from Hollywood. Also liked the story about quietly stunning the artists at Pixar, a portion of whom elected to attend Christmas parties instead of the screening. But packed out the Q&A on the following day when word spread about this amazing piece of work .
Bear Gryllls The Island
Its hard to pinpoint anything that's different in Channel 4's Bear Grylls The Island A group of men dispatched to an Island no access to food , water or shelter left to survive. Cue exhaustion , arguments and dreams of Nandos,KFC,Coke's Beer etc etc. The attempt at catching a bird by running at them full pelt was worth a smile though.
H.R Giger
In 1979, picking up the late H.R. Giger's book Necronomicon in the original Forbidden Planet shop in Dean Street was a challenge . This was heady stuff. Dark and disturbing visions that were seared into your brain . I didn't pick up the book to browse through too often. At that time it was just too far out there for me. Just when i needed a jolt as to how far out there an artist of Giger's genius could push it. Even with a quantum leap in Special effects Its hard to imagine any film on the horizon that packs the punch Alien did on its release. Original Designs for the Alien creature by Ron Cobb based on Dan O'Bannon's descriptions After O'Bannon showed Ridley Scott Giger's Book .There's only one way it could go. Disturbing.different and totally Alien to say the least.
