If you don't have a lot of time then this guide will show you through the best of my work, with a quick blurb about where it fits in.
ANIMATION |
|
| WHO IS HEXJIBBER? | (2001) My first ever animation. It's a 15 minute long absurd improvisation. Gets a lot more action packed in the second half.
|
| THE BOX | (2001) Made in collaboration with Chris Ball, another Interactive Arts student. Uses 'Carry Stress in the Jaw' by Mr. Bungle as inspiration for a story about two rivaling groups of children fighting over a mysterious box.
|
| THE BAD MOUSE | (2003) A film about the life and abrupt death of a household mouse. First shown at the 'Exchange' exhibition in Rotterdam (click HERE for film of show).
|
| ANDY'S LIFE ANIMATIONS | (2004) Series of 11 short animated films, ranging from the bizarre creation of a 'Poo Party' at age 4, to the more serious contemplative 'Trees'. 'Andy's Life Animations' were shown at Liverpool Biennial 04 as part of the Art in Bars programme.
|
| DON'T GIMME NO LIP | (2005) Music video for 'Don't Gimme No Lip' by Pearl Jam. Produced for a 'Tenclub' competition. Black and white animation 4 mins approx.
|
| POCKET SHORTS FILMS | (2005) In 2004 I was comissioned to make a one minute film for POCKET SHORTS, a scheme set up to make innovative new films for mobile phones. The films are being distributed via Bluetooth at key UK film festivals in 2005, including the Edinburgh Film Festival in August.
|
| PHOTOGRAPH | (2005) Music video for the FORMER BULLIES track of the same name. Commissioned by the EXPOSURES Film Festival in November 2005. I had a mere three weeks to create a music video from scratch, without a budget. |
ILLUSTRATION

| THE DRAWING HOBBY | (2003 onwards) I began doing
these illustrations in October 2003 to vent my anxieties. They
avoid being self indulgent by being honest and self deprecating.
A selection of these drawings have been exhibited in Manchester
(at Pure Space Cafe Bar) and Liverpool (at the Biennial)
in 2004. |
| DAILY THING | (2004 onwards) Illustrated diary. |
VISUALS
|
|
| S*PUNK | (2004) S*PUNK is a mixed gay / student friendly alternative club night in Leeds. I made visuals using the 'rotoscoping' technique, which involved drawing over footage of skateboarders. The visuals have also been shown at the Liverpool Biennial 04, during an 'Art Crawl'.
|
| BEAUTIFUL OCTOPUS | (2004) Collaborating with the West Yorkshire Playhouse, I made a some visuals for the Beautiful Octopus Club, held at Club Evolution in Leeds. The Beautiful Octopus Club is a cabaret club night celebrating the culture of people with learning disabilities.
|
| HOT STUFF KARAOKE | (2004) Made for a Karaoke night, held at the Green Room, Manchester, this is my rather literal interpretation of Donna Summer's 'Hot Stuff'. |
DIARIES
|
|
| HOLLAND HOBBY | (2003) During my stay in Rotterdam, Holland (on the ERASMUS scheme) I kept a diary of my exploits. Dutch life, the Willem de Kooning Academie where I studied and the exhibition I took part in are all here. |
