Day 139 and 140 - Violent Laser Battle

Megazone, a place where I spent quite a few hours as a kid and still find it fun till this day, and after a birthday trip there about 4 weeks ago, it reminded me of something a friend said to me. He told me that he could not come with us to megazone, because he may take it too seriously and try and smack someone with the butt of his gun!! 

Day 133 to 138 - Ted goes Royal and a ....Tree

 Because I love Ted so much and I was pretty happy with the turn out of the first episode, I have decided to make at least 2 more episodes! The first will include a little nod to an event that has just pasted us and one still to come. Here are some of the props and costumes I made for it.

O yer and the tree from the pilot!

Day 131 and 132 - "Tom is a Ninja, Tom is a Ninja, Tom is a Ninja and His Friend is Fat"

When I lived in York, I and my housemate Jonny would think up random ideas that we would talk about making into a film or TV show. One of my favourite ones that I will never forget was “Tom is a Ninja”, which I even created an outfit for! So here is the two main characters, 

Tom the Ninja

and his fat friend, who when we thought about it more became Tom’s career, as Tom was not mentally all there!

Day 129 to 130 - Clay Covers

One thing I have been very keen to have ago at creating in clay form is book covers. A strange idea I know, but I love the look of flat characters and 2D covers are a good place to start. And I decided to have ago at 2 of my more favourite designs. 

 The first is a book I read as a child and the images made by Quentin Blake have always stuck in my mind, the Grand High Witch from the witches I felt was a great starting point.

The second is a more recent character of fiction from the brilliant mind of Bryan Lee O’Malley, who was just yelling for the clay treatment!

Day 126 to 128 - Talking 'Round' Heads!

So here are 3 very funny men, who made long shifts in a window less kitchen that much more enjoyable. 

Ricky, Steve and Karl have had some great conversations over the past few years and it was an even more genius idea to turn them into a funnier TV series. And I wanted to show my thanks for this by creating them in clay form!
