“I’m looking for the Ocean, have you seen them?”
My short film is finally out ❤️‍🔥You can watch it on Vimeo, with the link in my bio ❤️💫💖
Have you ever watched someone who is meant to see the Ocean settle for a pond, or even a puddle, only to realize you have been the one drowning in a sip of water the whole time. This is all inspired by a lil’ poem I wrote, inspired by….let’s say a multitude of events. It’s made for all the people that never stopped searching for the Ocean, regardless of how tired they got.
It’s quite short, but it has a big heart. 🌊💖
I’d like to thank @m.a.garv for being the first person to hear the poem and getting goosebumps! Thank you for listening to me blab about why I made it for what seems like centuries now and always making me believe in myself ily 💖💖💖
To @ina.psd for not only supporting me, giving me pep talks and inspiring me, but also creating one of the most beautiful backgrounds for this film 🖤❤️💖
And @norbertgarab who when I’d wanna give up on this film would burst into my room and say “WOOOOOW this is amazing can you finish it already!!!!!!” Thank you for also trying to teach me After Effect, I almost got into it 🫣😩❤️‍🔥

Animated and Directed by me
Background Artist: @ina.psd
Sound and music design: @jojojodevine one of the most talented and unique humans who perfectly captured the soul of the film!
Additional Colour: @laborregaviuda

A wee animation I made inspired by my friend Punch the macaque. I have officially adopted him and I am flying to China to pick him up. I’ll be taking him to the pub and introducing him to all my friends. ☺️ No bullies allowed. 🚫❌🚯
Thank you. xx

Some of my favourite projects I worked on in the first half of 2025 + some memories and top memes 💖💖💖💖
My very own short film “I’m looking for the Ocean, Have you seen them?” can be located on Vimeo
Did lead clean up for this incredible Burberry ad and was part of an incredible clean up team for Apple Cash ad and visualiser for Jennie and Peggy Gou. Also my Charli Coin illustration found a great new home with two lovely people.
The rest is a very random New York trip and oysters. May the rest of the year be just as grucified. 💫❤️‍🔥

Before my little poem grew into a short animation, it was just a panel of 5 drawings. This is one of the earliest development doodles I made. Sadly Mothman did not make the cut 🥲

The true BTS. Any normal preproduction always starts with an energy cleanse and a Celtic spread. You can’t do your own reading? Guys, you can always hire an etsy witches for $2.50. And if you don’t like the cards you get, just tell her to shuffle again, duh! 🧙‍♀️
You can now watch my film on Vimeo, link is in the bio (no hexing if you don’t)

Lil’ voice over bts, from a very unhinged version. 🌊
Using your voice over for your film makes you have cooky edits like this. In the beginning my dream was to have the guy who does the opening in Pan’s Labyrinth, but since he was busy or whatever, I decided to go with my own voice. I think it made the whole film more personal, even though I’d like to think it’s every film makers worst nightmare to hear your own voice.
You can now watch the film with the real edit on Vimeo, link my bio 💖

While everyone has been watching the lake in Annecy, let me change the channel for a moment and search for the Ocean.
My short film is coming out this Monday and you don’t even need to travel to France to watch, no need for visas, plane tickets or airbibs, just a couch and cute vibes xx 🌊
Out on 16.06.25 ❤️‍🔥

“You offered me a tea spoon of water, while sitting on an ocean of feelings.”

Attention fellow animators, followers, ghouls and friends, very soon I will be releasing my new short film! (Like literally next week) .
It’s called “I’m looking for the Ocean” and it’s based on a poem I wrote.
Choosing yourself when you love someone is one of the hardest things you can do and honestly some days you’ll even think “god, self respect sucks.” So out of spite, out of grief, loss and often hope and love, I made this film about a character that will stop at nothing until they find what they’re meant for - the Ocean. 🌊
Created, directed and animated by me 💫

Charli XcoinX exhibited back in September.
Charli got in touch with me and said she hasn’t been feeling very relevant in 2025, so I wanted to do this throwback to boost her popularity again 🍏
The exhibition theme was Currency of the Future and it was held in The Bank of England Museum and in spirit with the theme we were paid in generous amounts of exposure 💫

Directors Showreel 2025 👻
Waving goodbye to 2024 and screaming hysterically at 2025. No more “it’s been a rough couple of years”, we want projects and we want them now. 😡 please🥹
Oh and I absolutely eradicated the royalty free soundtrack I actually used, because it was dookie.com. 😶‍🌫️
