This is just one of the photos I shot of the Aardman building for the Studio Tour section of the new website!
Very proud to say that I designed and built the brand new Morph website, which went live last night!
It was an honour to work on something for this iconic character that I loved as a child, it gives me a big wide grin now I know the site is out there for the world to see.

The wonderful folk at Thunder Chunky did an interview with me recently, which is now online! I really enjoyed answering the questions - covering everything from my work at Aardman to how JamFactory came about. Have a read of it here!

Realmac Software just had a brand new bunch of business cards printed up, with each employee having their own custom avatar that I illustrated for them. Lovely stuff! (via Dan Counsell)
Myself and the rest of the Xynthetic collective have been fortunate enough to have a private exhibition inside my workplace of Aardman Animations, here in Bristol.
It’s been a mix of work from our Glasgow show ‘Northern Exposure’ and also new pieces especially for Aardman.
I wanted to do something new, but i didn’t want to paint another monster as my monsters are pretty rubbish, so I thought i’d try and do something different.
I’ve got a text file on me computer that I just keep a collection of words and phrases that I say and I like, and ‘Beards & Blades’ was a phrase I liked and so wanted to use that in some way. And here’s what it ended up being, A beard and some blades, in gold.
I was really pleased with the outcome, so im glad I tried to do something different. Big thank you to Aardman for making it possible.
Here’s a couple of close-ups too.
