CHEEKY CHAT

Cheekychat from Cheekychat on Vimeo.

I created this animation for new app 'CheekyChat'. The animation had to capture the light-hearted tone of the brand and also demonstrate what the app can do. It features a cheeky monkey who is perhaps not the brightest banana in the bunch but he was a lot of fun to animate and I'm really happy with the result.

LOTTELO VIRALS

A short while ago I was commissioned by The Viral Factory to create a series of animations to promote a new Lottery launching in Austria called Lottelo. Entrants play the game by entering their mobile number but they cannot enter themselves... The idea is to create an imaginative mini advert that features your mobile number and appeals to other people to enter you into the draw.

I created 3 pieces, screenshots of which can be seen below:

NEW Home-Clubber Book

Modern Toss have released a brand new book featuring all the best Home-Clubbers including this one here:



















The book is out now and available for you to buy here.

Home-Clubber appears every week in the Guardian Guide and has done since 2004, so that's well over 200 cartoon strips to chose from when putting the book together so they quality will be high, I'm sure!

One of my first jobs was to animate the Home-Clubbers for use as mobile downloads, I did over 60 of them. It was great fun trying to squeeze as much animation as I could from a single drawing, I really learned my craft doing so many of these, the trick was to communicate the original joke but to also add something to make it worth while paying for.

To celebrate the release of the book I have posted one of the episodes onto YouTube, you can view it below.



Keep a look out for it in all good book shops. Not the bad ones, they won't have it.
