Those CRAZY Gherks, their gigs are always a riot. This drawing was done late last night under the influence of my mother-in-laws special baking and I half did it because these characters drive Pip crazy - she HATES them! I on the other hand love them. I did the drawing with my Pentel brush-nib pen.

New Website Under Construction

I'm building an all new website so all parishair.com traffic is currently being sent here. It should only take a couple more days ( I hope!! ) so check back soon.

If you haven't visited this blog before take a look through it as there is probably quite a bit of stuff you won't have seen.

Thanks for your patience and if you want to be updated about the site via email drop me a line..

Cheers

Annecy Animation Festival

We're here in the wonderful French Ville of Annecy for their annual animation festival. It brings together the finest in animation from all over Europe and the world. We arrived last night and have already seen hours and hours worth of animation. Some great some not so great. We also had a large storm here today, hopefullt tomorrow I'll get some good pics of the town but here are the few I've taken so far..

WINDY

This is SOOO hot off the press its even hurting me!

1998 - My First 'animation'

After finishing my degree I won a bursury to make a film. Having just finished the album artwork for Fila Brazillia's 'Power Clown' album I took one of the tracks and single release 'The Speewah' and created this little oddity. The bursuary paid for tuition in Avid video editing, which is certainly not meant for anything other than editing but allowed me to crudely put this film together.

New Shoes - (a new comic strip)

Taking Pride

Yes please. So starts a series of animal collective nouns. Number one, a PRIDE of lions.
Have you seen my 'We Are Animals' book by the way? Look inside my website and you'll see it.

Birds Is Birds

I'm pretty sure I'm talking to myself but I'd like to apologise for missing a day on the blog. As I am a good boy I am putting up a double dose now. Please enjoy. Dan. ;-)

Late Night Wind Down

This is the one off 'demo' version of the cover of my compilation album designed for after-dark listening. Its a collection of 1940's smash hits that sooth a modern mind like mine. Certain lucky fellows will be recieving a copy for christmas. This hand drawn berol marker pen drawn cover was done especially for Myvart Thomas's 75th birthday present.

Dove Lady

And yet on the other hand my love...
