I love going to London. It’s where most of my friends live, it’s where a lot of my work comes from, and it was my home between 1994 and 1998. I have a lot of memories embedded in the grime of that city, so if there’s an opportunity to go there I usually grab it.…

I’ve finally updated my animation showreel with some recent work! It includes a variety of TV projects such as Our School for CBBC and The Number of the Doctor, produced for the 50th anniversary celebrations of Doctor Who.
Had a great week working with the pupils from Macmillan Academy in Middlesbrough with Mark Jobe from Quay Animation. Together we helped the pupils write, design and animate a short film about climate change and the effects of flooding. Former Macmillan pupil and BBC Breakfast business reporter Steph McGovern dropped in to see what we…
I’ve just finished putting together a little trailer for Timesmith – hope you like it!
