Loving the annual Dia de Los Muertos lucha libre event posters...

Halloween Reminder. I drew this 12 years ago for my then misguided 3 year old. She's 15 now and the message remains the same...

It’s late, and I just really like this

Brighton Mod Weekender!

It's that time again! Right here, right now! ('The In Crowd, Out' above)

London may have given birth to the Mod(ernist) movement, but Brighton where I live is its spiritual home, and every August Bank Holiday weekend the Vespa and Lambretta hordes descend on this seaside city.

After I moved here in 2019, I started a series of art prints centered around some of the city's landmarks - the Palace Pier, Grand Hotel, the Bandstand, the West Pier - and held an exhibition at Hotel Pelirocco in September 2019.

So this weekend is shaping up to be a good one, with a smattering of club events and the king of Two-Tone Mr. Jerry Dammers himself, deejaying at Ska Train on the seafront.

Oh and it's also my and Ingrid's sixteenth wedding anniversary tomorrow!

Wow...real animation!

I love animation. Obviously: You don't do something for 23 years of your life just because you're rather fond of it. I appreciate the expertise and skill that goes into CGI, but I dunno...it's never made me go 'wow!'.

This hard-drawn, loose, scratchy, amorphic, funky-as-all-hell, Fat Albert (pilot?) from 1969 on the other hand makes me go WOW!

It eventually turned up as a very average, I'll-watch-it-cos-it's-on, bog-standard series produced by Filmation. But this pilot above is just something else...

My worlds collide

I really like this event poster!

Haikyu!!

Saw this at the cinema with my Haikyu/anime obsessed daughter who has binge watched 4 seasons.

Unbelievable staging, pacing, and storyboarding/storytelling. The movie was basically three sets of one match!

I'm very much into staging animation in one situation: I pitched an episode of Mucha Lucha! where the story took place in one match (see the unused thumbnails in the ML! sketchbook) and did something similar in the 'Rise Of The Undercard' short.

But to have the skill to stage an entire movie with one match (with two teams!) as the backdrop? Anime artists are amazing.

Great sentiment at the end of the story, too. "No one died". Love it!
