A brief moment of mid-week sentimentality, flicking through programmes from festivals with such demonstrably good taste as to have screened my pokey little cartoons back in the day. Nice excuse to re-extend my gratitude before these go up in the loft.

Shame some John guy defaced that Encounters one.

A bit o' romance to end your week on.

Been a minute since it did the rounds, but my most recent animated short 'Speed' is now online following a run of showings by such fine folks as @Pictoplasma, @encounterssff, @mcranimation, @cardiffanimfest, @sommetsducinemadanimation, @linoleumfestival, @interfilm_berlin and @poffshorts among others.

Featuring a sterling performance of concentrated awfulness by my old pal Toby and made entirely using #AfterEffects + DUIK with the support of @shyguyshq during my time there.

Any love you might be inclined to throw its way is enormously appreciated. ❤️

Been a minute since a #PattonOnVinyl post (algo went right off them, but fuggit I'm still a fan).

Coveted this @melvinsdotcom X #fantomas gem for a while so gave myself a little payday present. I'm worth it.

Had this week earmarked to try and catch the incomparable @xmadmx on her UK jag, but alas Adventure Bay will fall apart without me (that's what happens when you hire dogs for all your city's emergency and civil service roles).

So instead I'm reminiscing with these pics I took of her blowing the fucking roof off @fleecebristol back in the day and devouring her signed (gracias @thesmallcitybookshop) memoir. Double fisting with @roddybottum's; both love letters to @courtneylove in their own way.

Sorry to miss you this time around 🤘

The Struwwelpeter vinyl rollout is complete (for now) with the 20th Anniversary Edition of my 2006 LP #agnosticaust.

Technically the third Struwwelpeter album but, until I have time to give the first two a bit of spit'n'polish, it's as far back as I'm willing to go as far as inflicting my processed caterwauling onto the public.

A little rough around the edges but made with a lot of love and some of the mid-00s Southampton indie music scene's finest. A lot of good memories.

You can preview/preorder via the link in bio. And if you aren't the physical type it's available digitally in Bandcamp and streaming most places that stream stuff, with some bonus tracks thrown in.

That's 2025 almost completely in the rear-view. Wanted to show some love to @cardiffanimation @mcranimation #BarShorts @wia.uk @hungarian_culture_uk @finelinesfestival @festivus180 for occasionally getting me out of the house. And to everyone who supported another fantastic year of @bristol_animation_meetup and the return of @encounterssff. And if you bought a copy of #IntimateAnimation then you're an especially good egg.

Most of all I'm grateful to @lbyellow for being the greatest and strongest human being there is.

Very strange year of loss, health scares and that whole complete-collapse-of-civilisation thing, but the opportunities to spend time with friendly faces are always welcome. Here's to keeping one foot in front of the other 🥂

Odd little old man hobby I developed during my patches of off-time earlier in the year; Game Boy-specific sprite art made in knockoff Legos. Pleasantly meditative.

I'm a big fan of sequels and movie tie-ins, apparently.

Odd little old man hobby I developed during my patches of off-time earlier in the year; Game Boy-specific sprite art made in knockoff Legos. Pleasantly meditative.

I'm a big fan of sequels and movie tie-ins, apparently.

Last vinyl reissue of the year is 2010's The Book of Women, my one stab at an out-and-out high fructose pop record. Gambit had signs of paying off as it was the first to get real airplay, but the siren call of animation ultimately won out.

All of this year’s reissues are available this week at 15% off with code BLACKFRIDAY15 at checkout (link in bio). Enable my midlife crisis and get your mitts on some tunage made with talented pals @ehr_guitar @philbrookesuk @leanneboultonuk @hans_hess @twincidentallyox @helen.shaw.184007 and numerous others whose sponsors/spouses have rightly encouraged them to cut contact in the intervening years.
