I adorned my 'GNARLYBOT' sculpture for Gromit Unleashed 3 with a whole host of graphics paying homage to some of the great skateboarding graphics of the 70's & 80's! See if you can get all the references...

A ‘new to #3Dprinting thread’… so we go to our local village summer fair and there’s some kids selling 3D printed trinkets & toys that they printed on their dad’s 3D printer. My kids LOVE it and excitedly spend their allocated £2 on some iridescent optical illusion toy thing…

Stoked to unveil ‘GNARLYBOT’ - my Norbot sculpture for The Grand Appeal’s #gromitunleashed3 charity arts trail! Inspired by the fluro excess of 80’s skate films like ‘Attack’ & ‘Search for Animal Chin’. Find him at Quakers Friars in Cabot Circus, Bristol from June 30th until August 31st!

Last month, after speaking at D&AD Festival, I got to sit down with Creative Editor of The Drum, Mr Tom Banks, and talk about everything from Aardman's charming craft to my own passion projects.

✨I wrote a MEGA blog for Aardman all about how we made 'Wallace & Gromit: Shot on iPhone', a commission from Apple last year that I had the great pride in directing. It's a multimedia extravaganza blog with words, images & videos taking you behind the scenes of how we made it: aard.mn/WGShotoniPhone

I built myself an ‘enclosure’ out of LEGO blocks to house some LED light strips controlled by the Teenage Engineering OP-Z using DMX! No external laptop or anything, this is just the OP-Z with a controller and cables underneath!

Today I am 43 and I got some banging new studio monitors for my b’day! I’ve wanted to make my little musical corner more ‘serious’ for ages and I’m stoked these KRK Classic 5’s help with that!

I'm really getting excited on the idea of making a hardback art book to celebrate 25 years of making work under the name of Jamfactory. Crowdfunding is currently feeling like the best route for me, as I can combine my love of projects with 'extra' bits like badges, stickers, prints and more!

Right then! Pretty damn serious about making a hardback art book to celebrate 25 years of ‘being Jamfactory’ in 2026. Doing some research on formats and sizes of some of my favourite design books. One thing I do know is mine will be neon pink + metallic gold! 👍

I wish I was famous enough to be asked by @letterboxd.social what my four favourites are… “Why yes, thank you for asking; The Fast and the Furious 2 Fast 2 Furious The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Requiem For A Dream”

Stoked on this! Made a Lego-brick surround for my DMX lights, controlled by the OP-Z! Now the KO II and OP-Z can be synced, I can have a light show whenever I use either of them!! It made me squeak with joy when it all worked!
