A Spectral Stream for Halloween... Happy Halloween from Other Planes

A window has opened to the shallows of the Silurian period.

After the last window goes dark and the town is asleep, the pterosaurs emerge.

This skeleton is trying so hard to keep his composure, but despite his best efforts, his poker face may not be all that convincing.

Wishing you the happiest of Halloweens, from Other Planes

Myriad eyes blink in unison and march as one across a marbled floor.

Lonely alligators coming up for air. A brief experimental animated film.

I did some artwork for my friend Alison's comedy podcast

An oily residue and a faint odour of candles betray the presence of the dripping wax figure. Beware.

You are beckoned into a vortex where ghosts and abstract figures dance eternal.

The labyrinth of corridors extends further into the gloom. There’s nothing else for it but to keep walking. There’s no telling what strange beings we might find lurking deep within the bowels of the AQUARIUM.

Festive Greetings from Other Planes...

To celebrate Halloween 2016 I created a set of spooky GIFs featuring creepy crawly coffins, hungry ghosts, irritable mummies and more!

For one week, my living room played host to a bizarre celebration of all things wind up including but not limited to chattering teeth, walking eyeballs, and monkey musicians. As best I could, I have documented the wind up party.

It wasn’t easy, but I managed to film some of the wind ups in the wild. Prepare to witness the unbridled madness of the wind up party that unfolded in my living room for a whole week.

More animated odds and ends from Other Planes

As we walk further into the AQUARIUM, what little light that comes from the entrance fades entirely. The damp smell of the sea hangs in the air. What ominous creatures will we meet in the second hall?

Join me as I take a stroll through the dank corridors of an unusual aquarium.

At night time our bedrooms are teeming with horrors.

While I was busy on a large animation project, I had to find a way to produce GIFs more quickly. These are all hand drawn in ink, but instead of painting them I used screentones to digitally add texture.

Yet more glimpses into strange and unusual places...

More curious goings on with the ghosts from other planes.

This was my first foray into making animated GIFs in 2014. It was really exciting to me to bring my illustrations to life for the first time. We had squatters living in our apartment building and the strange noises we heard and the situations we were in because of that were a big source of inspiration for me. I liked to imagine what odd things could be going on in the halls outside our apartment...
