Ethel and Charlie Research

I started to draw a bear for my website. I liked the character that I wanted to make him as the main character in some animations.



Another famous cartoon bear....Yogi Bear.



To find funny narratives for the animations, I researched overheard conversations that other people and myself had heard. The stupid things people say.

Overheard in London

Overheard in Liverpool

Overheard in New York

Overheard in the UK

Overheard in the Office

Overheard in Dublin

I saw a video about people listening to rave music in a car and going crazy. I also found this, I thought it was funny. I want to make people laugh with these animations.

12 Days of Christmas Reserch

I've been looking at a lot of pattern in Mike Perry's books and supermundane. I would like to create characters that make the number 8.














The Twelve Days of Christmas (12 Days of Christmas)

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!
