Over the Christmas break, I created my first animation. Actually, I created a couple of animations a while ago, but I can’t remember how, I think I used Keynote in some way… In any case, this feels like my first animation, and it’s definitely my first frame by frame 2D animation.

The Privacy of Writing
My friend, Bernie, organises, (or used to organise) a writing club. People writing a blog post or any other text would gather around a table to write.

Once a week writer and podcaster … Continue reading The Privacy of Writing
Upside-Downside
There’s an upside and downside to everything. It just depends on how you look at it.

Introducing Timo the Penguin
This guy appeared when I was doing some “research” - that’s what I call the sessions when I draw whatever. I don’t know what I’m going to draw, but it’s important that I don’t think about what might come out, but let the hand bring something out on the piece of paper, iPad, Remarkable, the … Continue reading Introducing Timo the Penguin
The start of a story
I’m playing with creating comic strips. As well as the illustrations, it’s a whole different way of telling a story. I’m not used to it. But here’s the beginning.
