Nuite Blanche Animations

I have been commissioned to animate two poems from Toronto writer Souvankham Thammavongsa. The short animations will appear during Nuite Blanche in October in Toronto and will screen on the TTC afterwards for a month or so. I will post the progress as it becomes available.

Early Bird

Here is a new animation for you.  Hand drawn stop motion, composited in After Effects..

 

Here Comes

Bo Doodles.

Some new illustrations - here is a sample of some recent drawings I did. I created a small fold out book from them. I really like listening to Bo Diddley and I find it quite relaxing to draw while I am at it. If anyone is unfamiliar, you should go buy the Definitive Bo Diddley. The song, ‘Mona’, is just beautiful….

Energy Cycles - Screening on the TTC

Energy Cycles is a one minute video that was directed by Winston Hacking and myself, created for the “Ideas for a Living City” initiative. Our video placed second, and and was shown for two weeks on the OneStop Media screens throughout the TTC  during the second week of February. The Toronto Star interviewed me and you can see the article on their website.

You can view the clip in the “Audio/Visual” section.

Revisiting 2005/2006 Works

You can see some older works on the old version of my website here: 2005/2006 Works

I will post a link to my CV soon, highlighting recent shows/exhibitions and projects.

Birds + Squids

I’ve been playing around with some animations lately and they’ve been keeping me busy. Bird was stop motion experiment using a digital still camera, chalk and some model birds. With Squid I played around with some collage animation, also using a digital still camera.
