just thought i'd interject into the blog with some film updates on what i've been working on in the last year as two have been released and the last one comes out next week.

in order of release (but not the order i worked on them, tisk tisk spielberg for holding back joey til this year!)

johnny english reborn (look out for some blue snow and a faulty umbrella=months of my life!)


next up here's sherlock holmes: a game of shadows
lotss of camera shake, paint work on a certain snowy (again!) fistfight, various shizzle on a train and some groovy sherlock slowmo action!


and lastly warhorse. three words sum up my involvement of this film: the trench run!


hope people go see the flicks and enjoy them!

day 211

this little guy looks like a flowerpot man a bit or some kind of gnome.quite cute and strange with his bandy limbs!

day 212 day of owch!

right heres where the blog was almost halted for a while due to injury! and i still have the scars!basically this is why i shouldn't cook ever ever ever!

i was tasting some cooked syrup and some dripped off the spoon, now the idiot in me suddenly thought, quick catch it don't make a mess, which is very dumb as the syrup was boiling hot!and burnt 3 holes into my hands, now the pain came over in slow motion so i tried to wipe it, spreading the hot further and then finally hit the tap and the cold beautiful water.well after a good few hours of cooling, i realised i had really done a bad burn. across my right (drawing hand) palm too so closing my hand was a no no.it was horrendously painful and took a month to heal up, with creams and plasters and it hurt like hell.don't try to catch hot syrup!!!!!!!!so here is my left handed scrawl as i sat with my hand ina jug of water.doh!

day 205-208

day 205

day 204:

i was curious about the compare the market meercat soft toys being given out, so much so, i wanted some insurance to get one :P however thats a bit extreme so i instead had a looksie on ebay and mother of god how expensive are the little critters!£83.52 one was going for!and the others were all similar! :/ won't be getting one of them then!which is a shame as they are sooo cute! anyho i drew a meercat who looks a bit dubious about being sold on ebay!
