My work on the BBC

Working at Flickerpix as a Background Designer was a great experience.
Check this video where our Director shows the studio and explains how we produced each episode of the successful stop motion animated series "On The Air" for the BBC.

Minkee is not a monkey

In this project, I worked as a Background Designer for a pre school animated show. Meet Minkee here.

Technique: Gouache and colour pencil

Sendak's Tribute Exhibition
