RED SOCKS GO MISSING

So this is a really, really rough sketch for a rhyme I've been working on. In short, it's about two socks.

Two evasive socks.

Looking at the washing machine now, I can't explain why it's the colour of a Wibbly-Wobbly Wonder.

Perhaps it's a special washing machine that only washes coloured clothes. How's that for a contrived explanation?

Well it doesn't convince me so it's back to the drawing-board for me, the socks and the washing machine.

The rhyme, however, is a rattling good read and features an angry Great White Shark. Don't know whether I should get it animated or filmed?

If you can recommend any good shark voiceovers contact me.

BBC PROJECT

Here's a fraction of a smidgin of a scintilla of a hint of a story for a piece of animation I've been working on with Henry at studiocheese.co.uk. I think the character movement is great. I hope the BBC chaps back the idea soon.

THE TOUR OF IRELAND...KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK...

Irish cycling gets something of a 'shot in the arm' with the participation of Lance Armstrong in this year's Tour of Ireland.

But if you're out on the road try lending your support to the lads in the Seán Kelly Cycling Academy. I shot this ad with Jason Morgan while they were competing in Mallorca. We didn't have much money but we wanted to get right into the peloton so we had one of Real Madrid's cameramen ride backwards and pillion on a motorcycle.

To save even more money, I found a band from Waterford on MySpace called The Arrangements who had just broken up. We liked their track, and I suppose a few quid and some recognition interested them, so they let us use their track 'It's Alright'. Post was done by Juniper at ScreenScene.

1:2 FEET (and a frog)

I was doodling earlier trying to draw a frog when I had a thought to paint the kid's feet. 

So I did. 

The frog looks pretty cool. So I guess that's mission accomplished. 

However, my search for an Edward Gorey-esque illustrator for my epic rhyme, 'Ernest Cribben: the woeful tale of a dastardly curmudgeon and his inevitable demise', continues. 

Any thoughts, mail me.
