Image for Theatre Company

StevenLeave a comment

Recently I completed some character design for a theatre company in Manchester called Digging Deep theatre.
The images I created can be seen below.
Having done theatre reviews during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival I was looking forward to working for a theatre company and hopefully more work will come in this area of the arts soon.
The image itself is to be used on a t-shirt and marketing material. The character is called Sky and the brief was to make her look tied and exhausted, as if she has just got up in the morning.

Animation on Bad Robot Poetry

StevenLeave a comment

Bad Robot Poetry is an excellent blog on Internet and New Poetry. It is run by Catherine Woodward and I have an animation the incorporates poetry on the website.

This is what Catherine says about Bad Robot Poetry:
Bad Robot is a UK based blogzine which publishes Internet Poetry, short essays and features. Given that the internet has done for literature what the camera did for art, Bad Robot would like to encourage as many people as possible to create and engage with an avant garde art that incorporates the dominant media of the 21st Century. Comprised of, about and/or using the conventions of the internet, Internet Poetry is a relevant mode of poesis which truly engages with life in the contemporary ‘Western’ world.

My animation was created in Flash and the text is short and succinct. It is the first in a series of new media poetry experiments which follows on from my other Poetry work. This will incorporate a web comic which I am currently developing. More on this soon.

Please view the video over at Bad Robot Poetry.
