bather

some photos of a new stop motion character im working on for an animation about summer, swimming etc. might even consider turning it into a fake advertisement for something.

Over the summer Im going to be working on some things like this in practice for my course im starting at rmit next year. Im hoping to get plenty done, in order to have ideas ready and develop my style a bit more before being shoved into the formality of assignments.

bowties are cool

some new bowties I made today, will be available soon in the etsy shop as soon as I get some bowtie clips.

They will all be limited edition with only a few made in each fabric. Yay! Tell your gentlemen friends or lady friends who like bowties.

Currently working on my first people puppets for an animation and these french posters are some of my inspiration. I love the bold colours and simple shapes used to make something simplistic and beautiful.
