Modern Toss presents An Evening of Edwardian Chamber Filth

Another animation event in Brighton! This time its "classic Modern Toss sketches projected onto a big screen and re-interpreted with a LIVE string quartet and piano." Sound good? I reckon so!

I hear they've got the voice of Drive-by Abuser doing a bit of live shouting as well, which should be brilliant. I'm not going to stand near the front though incase he directs some of it at me.

Ignore the dates on the flyer, its been moved to the 29th and 31st of May so there's still time to get yourself a ticket to this unique show. Click here to book now.

I think, although this is not confirmed that one of the sketches getting the live treatment will be the Sneezeman animation I did for Modern Toss series 2. I certainly hope so, it would be great to see it up on the big screen!

Sneezeman Paint

This is quite an old one but is still one of my favourites.

One of the characters I animated for Modern Toss Series 2 was Sneezeman. In this particular sketch he is trying to paint a window but due to his chronic sneezing condition ends up making a bit of a mess.

Visual comedy is one of my favourite things to animate as well as stuff breaking so this piece was great fun to do. I made the paint splats by flicking ink all over some paper and scanning it in. You can't beat doing these things for real.

The series went on to be nominated for a Rose d'Or, which in TV land is very high praise indeed!
