Continuing the story that began with the Order of Voices video 'Don't Falter' we now present the next chapter in the tale of our strange hero and the the surreal worl he inhabits. Below is some of the new artwork and test animation for the latest installment...
...stay tuned!

Don't Falter

Here's some artwork I did for the animated video for the Order of Voices song 'Don't Falter' which was made by Harry Shotton and myself. You can watch it here:

Included here is an unused, extended ending for the vid. Who knows? We might continue the story one day...

Nossssferrraaaatu!!!!

Here he is - Count Orlock the Vampiiiire! Isn't he a fiendish and diabolical looking fellow?





Fear not though, he's just a posable puppet for a little animation thing that I'm planning to do in the not too distant future, if he can keep off the bottle that is.

The Grubber

'The Great Stink' was a period in Victorian history when the city of London was overwhelmed by the hideous stench of sewage. 'Grubbers' and 'toshers' were the nicknames given to the underclass who would scavenge drains and sewers looking for useful items, and who, through exposure, developed immunity to many of the sewage related diseases that proved fatal to many at the time.

Taking this period and giving it a steampunk, sci-fi spin is the basis for the animated movie 'The Great Stink', an ongoing project which will eventually see the light of day!

This is the first of the grubber puppets, his bizarre form is due to the fact that they scavenge for cybernetics and prosthetics with which they upgrade their impoverished, failing bodies.
