I’m available for TV PD/SP/EP jobs, but also looking to pivot to digital art. I’m currently developing a spec animated feature, but would appreciate any paid work. If you’re looking for a creative illustrator/storyboarder (40+ years Art & 30+ years TV & Animation experience) please get in touch.

RIP #MTV. All I've got left to show for it is this early Spice Girls interview I had to film on my own in the Cologne hotel reception where we were all staying- crikey, 30 years ago now. Talk about intimidating, but a great laugh. I think this VHS is the only place it exists.

Why mention Grimsby? It’s not a great look for Southend.

I spent 6 months coming up with concept designs for an animated film, which I signed an NDA for, only to be ghosted. Emails and calls ignored. The guy has limited social media presence and might be dead for all I know. Either way it’s sad.

It's launch day for David Quantick's latest book, an anthology of short stories. The fastest comedy writer I've ever known. Hey, maybe this will have been written so quickly it'll be SHIT! It won't though, will it? It'll be brilliant. Fuck him. Buy this. ❤️
