The young animation student!
The young animation student at Newport Film School, Wales, UK.
With fellow student Billy Allison behind circa 1985. Notice the top peg bar on homemade light-box....I learn't later it's difficult to flip your drawings using top pegs...bottom pegs rule!

"Swim" ~ Channel 4 screening!
"Swim" The short film I animated for The Brothers McLeod will be screened on Channel 4's Random Acts on 13th July 2012 11.40pm.
"Swim" is about the ebb and flow of a journey to work. Picked as only one of five shorts from 170 applications, Swim is a short, animated, dance film about a man's extraordinary journey to work... story, design and direction by The Brothers McLeod, with choreography by Struan Leslie, animation from Robert Brown, and music composed by Gary Yershon. It is part of Big Dance Week.
I hand drew over one thousand drawings to produce the 90 second short! Phew..tired now!
Hope you enjoy it!

SuperTed
As I started work at Siriol Animation in 1986, I missed out on working on their "SuperTed" series. But in 1990 I finally got to draw the famous bear for this poster to celebrate his 10th Birthday! Also because I worked on "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series I guess I was the perfect choice for this poster. The SuperTed 10th Birthday party was held at Cardiff Castle on Sunday 8th July 1990.

Happy Valentines Day!
Just to get you all in the mood for love, here's a short animation I produced in 2000 called "Lovespoons". It was the first of four commissions I was awarded by S4C's Short Short scheme. Using the music of Bolero and combining Welsh Lovespoons it was a homage to Torvil and Dean!
