This weekend: Threw stuff at stuff and sometimes shot at it too. Stage 1 of a stag do. Stage 2 was not filmable.

I did some DIY and made Elton John, for some reason.

Pretty sure he wanted peace, but apparently not..

'Grouting' has to be one of the best words in the English language. It's surprising how mundane it actually is.

Uncertainty over whether they can be called 'diners'.

Gamboling lambs should be more careful with their money.

Tree and house admiration at Nymans c/o National Trust. Lovely spongy bark. Such happy trees.

So afraid now. If the world can be run by bullies, there's fuck all hope for regular joes. They think they're on the bully's side until he turns on them. The parallels with Nazi Germany are obvious. People afraid to speak out. It's so sad for humanity. Why do we always shoot ourselves in the foot.

Here's just a random collection of #Edinburgh scenes from the walk back to the station this morning. Such a pleasing place to visit. #Scotland #AnimatorOnTour

I really should post here more. Been up in #Edinburgh at MOVE Summit. Helped out with some 1:1 creative sessions, and spoke on a panel about the future of commissioning. Judging by the vibrancy of the whole shebang I think the animation industry is alive and kicking!😁

If anyone is up in Edinburgh late Feb I'm gonna be speaking at the MOVE Festival. Not been before but have heard great things. Come along if you can! #movefestival

Exciting birthday present for the soon-to-be 12-year-old, thanks to @yukfunwow.bsky.social ❤️

Is AI tagging itself? Otherwise it's going to end up in an echo chamber like the rest of us.🤯 #echochamber #deathofAI

Looks like the snow is finally melting away today 😔 Mixed emotions because it arrived in a blizzard (and scary drive) and lingered with black ice. But it is nice to look at. #ice #snow #melting #sheetice

Frosty out there. Beautiful sunlight in Lewes. But where on earth is my dog? #snowdog #Lewes

Great seeing animation feature on BBC News. Just a shame the video is so horrendously shit. BBC News - Animator creates new video for George Michael hit www.bbc.com/news/article...

HNY everyone! Hope you're going out fighting!

Not even the weather has a heart these days.

Posted this on LinkedIn, but worth a shout here as it's so important to me! What a great opportunity to air thoughts on the decline of Children's TV - this morning's #BBCR4's Today programme was guest edited by Dame #FloellaBenjamin. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... -> more thoughts follow...

Surreal Christmas trip to London to see the Tim Burton exhibition at the Design Museum and the Paradox Museum, taking in Harrods facade and local wildlife. #TimBurton

How's your Christmas Day looking?

Chilly morning marshalling 200+ runners along the South Downs in aid of Lewes Victoria Hospital. 40+mph winds to contend with. Congrats to them all!

After numerous years on Twitter - I mean X - I left for BlueSky. And I brought all our Beakus animation work with me! Seeing as you guys don't know me much, I thought a popping montage of Twitter posts in chrono order might be fun! 👀 This is the cut-down version. Longer one: vimeo.com/1040079662

After about 11 days of #flu this little one is getting me rehabilitated on the #SouthDowns.

I think I have pneumonia. Writing this here so people can look back when I'm gone and go "Ach, he was right..."

Can anyone explain what was going on in #Arcane? Is there a 500-word-or-less plot summary somewhere? I absolutely loved it but it fell into that fantasy trope where a little bit of (admittedly steampunk) magic can turn things around and destroy the baddy, which feels... er... lazy?

I don't tend to say much about this, but this article is exactly what my family are living through. We are in year 2 right now. BBC News - Autism burnout cost teen three years' of school www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've been ill for 2 days so far, and this is my view. A mix between Halloween and Christmas. #Hallowmass or #Christween ?

Beware! Changing apps on android mid-post on BlueSky resets the app and you lose all your writing/thoughts/wisdom. Think that's a bug they need to fix, no? #blueskybug #appissue

Anyone got any good ideas for when your throat feels tickly and you know you're going downhill? Don't want to waste the rest of the week! 🤒

Anyone else sing ELO as they boot up the app?

Can anyone on here advise how to look back at the history of an Instagram account? Need to see lifetime growth basically.. Everything I've tried only looks back 90 days or something similar. Thank you! #instagram #instagramstats #instagramanalysis #socialmediamanager

Wanting to get my 13-yr-old kid a PC for Christmas. They've been getting into 3D modelling, so it's got to be good enough but not break the bank - they're a kid after all! Anyone on here got any advice what minimum spec?

My mum died over summer, in a lot of pain, begging for us to end it for her. It's etched forever in my memory as the most horrific thing I've ever witnessed. So I'm resolutely behind our MPs who voted today for assisted dying. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #assisteddying #dignifieddeath

Going to an #EscapeRoom tomorrow as my son has an inset day... I might regret it, for quite some time. #insetday #parentinghell #dad

One of my favourite episodes of #BigLizard screened on #CBeebies for the first time today, 'The Sea Meteorite'. If you only watch one episode of our show, give this one a whirl! 🪨 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... #animatedseries #tvseries #animation #meteorite

Re-watching La La Land. What a beaut of a film. Many more films should have this amount of poise. You can feel the presence of the director, or the camera, and it's celebrated. #LaLaLand

You know when people ask you whether you had a good weekend and you kind of hang "Errrr.." and can't remember a dang thing? It's Sunday and I already feel like that. #sundayblues #somethingfortheweekend #weekend #brainfug

Windy today, but this was the view on my third rehab run after a calf tear about 5 weeks ago. Events conspired to keep me from running, or maybe it was lack of motivation, but am going to try 3 runs this week of 3-5K each and see how it goes. #running #Lewes

Has anyone seen #BigLizard on TV or iPlayer yet? It's been my passion project for about 7 years and I'm so happy it's out in the world! Made with Amael Isnard through my studio, Beakus, it follows the adventures of two astronauts on the distant exoplanet #Proxima. #animatedseries #tvshow
