Chinese New Year at Ping Pong - Year of the dragon!

2012-01-25T20:36:00.004Z

I did an illustration for Ping Pong the international dim sum restaurant! The illustration is of a dragon to celebrate year of the dragon for Chinese New Year. My drawing is in the menus and on the back, on t-shirts the staff are wearing and on the windows of all chains around the world for 15 days. How exciting!

1940's Golden Dictionary

2012-01-08T21:05:00.002Z

My mum found this amazing book in my Grandma's attic while she is sorting out moving house. It is pretty great! It has lots of illustrations in it that are pretty comical (see: cut). It's from the 60's (first printed in the 40's) and is falling apart.

Sketchbook Girls

2012-01-08T20:50:00.003Z

These are some girls I drew wearing Fred Perry clothes that I wish I owned. This is the first time in ages I have used colouring pencils and I very much enjoyed it, I like the messiness. I think I will use them more!

Happy new year everybody! Thanks for reading my blog in 2011 :)

The end is nigh - Animation!

The End Is Nigh (Long Edit) from Zach Ellams on Vimeo.

'The end is nigh' animation by me, Lotte Crawford and Zach Ellams. Characters by me and lotte, set design and animating by zach.

We had to create a short animated gif under the title 'the end is nigh' so we thought we would animate a really mundane situation (supermarket) and have people going a bit mad when the danger siren notifies them that the end is nigh..

Toyshop Exhibition

2010-09-25T15:23:00.006+01:00

I made these little friends for the toyshop exhibition in Manchester next week, which lots of nice image makers are taking part in. Usually when you are a kid you have lots of soft toys but these are hard toys that would probably not be very nice to cuddle. I found them on a north wales beach when I was bored and lonely, I think they were bored and lonely too. I love toys and am so excited to see everyone else's take to the theme.
