Back in 2019 I was lucky enough to design & direct the end credits sequence for Aardman's second Shaun the Sheep movie 'Farmageddon'. I just found a bunch of my original style frames:
I use the 'Shifting Tiles' screensaver on Mac OS and point it to a folder that contains over 3,000 beautiful images of amazing work by amazing humans that I've collected over the years. The screensaver is set to come on after 2 minutes so there's always a fresh buffet of inspiration in my eyeballs!
I’ve made my own 3D printed art toy - ‘BroBot-5000’ 👍🤖 Get yours over at mine and my kids DIY ‘Toy Company’ www.strangekids.toys
Been printing out more ‘BroBot-5000’s at home, as I’m gonna pop them on me online store soon!
We finally finished Season 4 of The Bear last night. Wonderful, simply wonderful. This season has been the epitome of why ‘show, don’t tell’ is so powerful. https://media.tenor.com/1CBRHjSMztoAAAAC/nose-tap-the-bear.gif?hh=353&ww=498
It’s bloody brilliant! Passionate humans with a story to tell, executed immaculately with the most killer soundtrack! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I created digital versions of my son’s Axolotl toys, for our ‘Strange Kids’ venture! Using Spline 3D, each of the three toy colourways come with a QR code that lets the owner play with this in-browser! Sully came up with the names of the characters, their attacks, costs and HP! strangekids.toys
I love 3D printing! Printed myself a few Megadrive cartridge stands thanks to a design from makersworld 👍

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...
BroBot! My latest design and 3D print - man I love this thing! It’s making me up my Blender modelling skills too, making sure it’s nice and neat!
3D Printed my own big block-mech-dude over the weekend. Really impressed with this matte black and pink combo! Took a fair few go's getting this printing right, but stoked on the results!
Turnstile’s Glasto set was an absolute banger!! Catch it on iPlayer, well good! ✨⚡️ https://media.tenor.com/v1HCv_7B1dkAAAAC/turnstile-turnstile-love-connection.gif?hh=278&ww=498
Thank god for that. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
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!
Best post day ever!! A haul from Unbox Industries 😍 @unboxindustries.bsky.social

✨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
