The most beautiful game I have played on an iPhone. Brilliant illustration and sound design.

Animation of the day: Dumb Ways To Die

This music video is also an advert for an app and also a message from Metro trains. I like the style of animation, it is very simple but good use of colour and nice character design all used with a cheerful song and a light hearted story of different ways to die. If you do like the animation style I do recommend the app as well.

Animation of the day: Wax Tailor ft Aloe Blacc - TIME TO GO by Oh Yeah Wow

Amazing piece of stop-motion. This story uses a friendly looking octopus character with found objects to submerse us into the journey and the life of this cute sea creature.

Very inspirational piece, I want to get my camera out now.

Animation of the day: The Scarecrow

Critics are saying this could be the best advert ever made. It could be the first advert to ever win an Oscar.

I think it is a great advert, it is creepily haunting with a dark twist on the old charlie and the chocolate factory song and the story line is all too real. Hopefully this will have the impact it is intended to, and open some eyes.

ANIMATION OF THE DAY: Tulkou by Mo'Sam

A mixture of styles of animation beautifully put together.

[fishboyart]

Not an animation but a beautiful short film from the Maccabees.

This ties in with my new (old) project of illustrating songs and the SoundScreen show which is coming up soon. www.sound-screen.com

Animation of the day: OSCILLATE - by Daniel Sierra

I don't usually post CG animations but this is just beautiful. The strong connection of movement and sound makes the simplicity of this video outstanding.

[fishboyart]

Not an animation but still right up my street. Pop-up monsters, yessa :)

Happy Easter! Remember today though, not just Jesus died for us over this holiday period, also think of the chocolate rabbit.

Animation of the day: Birthday - music by Alphabets Heaven - animation by Renata Gasiorowska

This animated music video brings mixed feelings of a surreal drug trip and innocent childhood play. Beautifully animated with styles that echo's studio ghibli.

Love the song and you can see him play at my next show Sound Screen, click here for more details.

Animation of the day: Jazz that nobody asked for - by Benny Box

We all get a song stuck in our head time to time and it gets more intense and unwanted as the day goes on. This piece of animation depicts that perfectly. 

A lovely digital animation with a style that looks like jazz and a soundtrack that's catchy and clever.

Animation of the day: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)

Stop-motion music video. A little crude but good fun!

Animation of the day: Howard - by Julia Pott

One of my all time favourite animations. Feels very apt to post this today.

It's a story of falling out of love with someone. Still loving someone but not how you use to and not understanding why.

Really like the style of animation as well.

My most recent tattoo - Go Do. Go do meaning jump into the deep end. Something that I lived by from 2012. I pushed myself to go out of my comfort zone and do the things fear has been holding me back to do. Since then I moved to Brighton which is my new favourite city and started up my own business, to name a few. Hopefully looking down on this will remind me that nothing is impossible and jumping into the deep end is more rewarding then the fear of it itself.
