The Storyhunters take Malmo

A collaboration between Storyhunters (myself & Joe Collins) with Ola Stahl and the fellows at FASAD in Malmö, Sweden

FASAD have a window space on the high street and use the space to tell stories to the people of the city.  Using paint, vinyl and objects we dressed the window in a way that showed the ten dimensions of reality, then put a show on in the evening that illustrated this concept from physics in an accessible way – as related to stories and the ideas of the Storyhunters.  Stories define and make sense of our lives.  That’s pretty much what the Storyhunters project is about.

 

Small Worlds

This week’s playtime in Swamp has seen us making small worlds:

Scrolling persistence of vision

We were looking at interesting ways people use scrolling on websites the other day – and it got me thinking about persistence of vision.  Take a look at this experiment I created (works best in Chrome!) – hold down the middle mouse button and scroll horizontally…

The Lady Purple, Angela Carter

We do a version of Angela Carter’s The Lady Purple with the storyhunters.  This is an illustration for that story done with permanent marker on canvas.

For the love of God, Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst’s for the love of God.  Evaporated.

Particles and glows created in 3DSmax.  No soundtrack as yet – I’ll repost when it’s done.

RolaCosta Drawing for Jim

Just did a new Rolacosta canvas for Jim Wheatley (who really should have something better I can link to) who reached the grand old age of 30 this weekend.  Here it is.  And, what is more there’s a desktop wallpaper to download too!  You lucky people.

Pretty Dirty Thing

Inspired by something that was happening at work I made this 3D movie.  3D gets pretty painful on your home computer as you’re hampered by what you can actually be bothered rendering.  So I guess this is a test for the real thing which should be created in full vray glory.  But I quite like this anyway.

D&AD Judging

Been a daft busy month starting with a week in London filming kids jumping off buildings, a week off so I could actually see the family digging the garden and painting walls @ home, then a week back in London for D&AD awards judging in the website category.  A chance to meet some great people and check out the cream of website work from around the world.  There were 500 website entries, plus more digital in advertising and virals.  Overall there were 20,000 pieces of work that made it to Olympia and 500 international judges visiting over the four days.  Check out theThe D&AD Blog  for more…
