Footwear 360°

Quick animated sketches to celebrate getting some of my favourite footwear repaired (by the cutest cobbler ever). It feels really good to know that boots that are already quite old will probably last another 20 years.

An old lady on the prairies told me these were for line dancing. Suits me fine. They had holes in the bottoms the size of pancakes but not anymore!

I found these cuties at a second hand shop in Brooklyn. This will be my fourth summer wearing them (and no they don’t stink).

Vintage Santana, made in Canada. The leather is brown, I just didn’t feel like colouring it in, and the inside really looks like that. Love them.

… Watch for more 360° footware in future posts!

Night at the Museum…

Last weekend I participated in the Museum Amplification Project, a night of sound and visual installations at the Royal BC Museum. I projected several pieces that were created using loops from some previous projects. These kaleidoscopic portals echo the prehistoric and natural forest scenes and soundscapes from the museum.

Animated logo for Copper Owl

Every so often I do a little logo design/branding work for fun. This piece was created for Copper Owl, a beautiful retro bar/venue in Victoria with a killer lounge vibe. The logo is meant to work well in print, reflecting the vintage quality of the place while keeping things playful. I decided it would be fun to animate the web-version. On their website the speech bubbles also change when you hover over different menu items. Wink wink!

Animation for “I Want a Bird”

This new Current Swell video features a bunch of birdies I animated. Produced by the talented folks at Giant Ant Media☺
