Emerging Artists Awards 2010

What better way to celebrate the completion of 'Le Theatre de quantempus' by heading off to this year's Emerging Artists Awards at artsmix in the Loft, Leeds!

Amongst the creative talent that had been nominated we were really pleased to see our friends, Amy and Rebecca from Lord Whitney.

In another of their fantastic side-show attractions, the 'Cabinet of Curiosities' allowed passers-by to become part of the display. Each visitor had a huge choice of masks and outfits to wear with a customisable plaque. We were the 'Fireys' from the film Labyrinth :D

Le Theatre de quantempus

That's right! My portfolio site has finally gone live! Hip Hip Hurrar!! It's been a long time coming and all the blood, sweat and tears have finally paid off. It includes artwork from both my Art & Design and Multimedia Technology degrees and I've also added a section that showcases my favourite sketchbooks.


The design and interface was largely inspired by fairytales and old victorian toy theatres. My Mum bought me one when I was little and I loved putting on shows and playing with all the set pieces and characters. I thought it'd be fun recreating that in flash, with all the child-like wonder I had as a kid I might add :))

So..what're you waiting for!!? Grab yourself a ticket, take your seat and enjoy the show :D

Coins & Nooses goes live!

March 2010 sees the launch of the 'Last Coiner' movie website and game in the run up to production starting on this feature film project from Duchy Parade Films. The film will follow the lives and fortunes of the Yorkshire Coiners in a 'Western' style story based on real events. Unlike most period dramas, this tale follows the poorer members of society as they struggle in a bleak North Yorkshire setting.


The Coins & Nooses game can be accessed through the movie website and will give you snippets of historical information, interviews and production notes as you navigate the Snakes & Ladders style board. See how many counterfeit coins you can collect before reaching square 100 but don't get caught red-handed by the excise man or you'll surely hang by the neck!
