Carry On won Best Animated Short at the Berlin Independent Film Festival 2023!
Thank you again so much to the team of the event for organising everything and the staff at the cinema Babylon for the hard work to bring everyone together!
I've seen some incredible and inspiring short films this weekend and it's been an absolute joy to talk to other creatives and film makers at the festival.
I wanted to do something a little bit jazzy for this one, so that’s where I went with the music and I think it turned out alright.
For the animation, I started with the laundromat and then I had this idea for the ceiling tiles to lift up and float away, revealing a starry sky. I started to do that and as I moved things I realized that it looked like the room was shaking/shifting - a bit like being inside one of the washers - so I just kept heading in that direction.
I know I've been quiet for a whiiiiiile but that's only because I've been working on some really interesting projects. Updates to follow... For now though, please enjoy this throwback piece, that was drawn in pre-pandemic times, at the start of my career as an animator. #throwbackphoto #throwbackart #throwbackartwork #throwbacksunday #2dartist #2dartwork #2dart #2danimation #2danimator https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6PWzKIKFN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
SHOP UPDATE! Nostalgic for days of the immensely talented 2D animators who drew each animation frame by hand with paper and pencil? Have your own little animator desk and lightbox with these sticky note pads. They're my first ever note pads!

Starting off 2024 with basic animation exercises!
I’m super proud of myself for sticking with it and completing them all, my favorite is definitely the ball bounce in perspective.
I got to learn a lot from them too! And I’m looking forward to creating more animations in 2024.
