Created in response to an invitation from Red Bull to produce a short film based on the theme of 'adrenaline', Hard As Snails is an animation featuring two thrill seeking molluscs. Naturally.
The film is to form part of a compilation of clips about adrenaline created by a variety of artists and will hopefully be broadcast late next year.
Click here to watch Hard As Snails.
Please note that no snails were harmed during the making of this film although a couple were laughed and pointed at.

Based on characters from the Low Morale series Creep is a music video to Radiohead's song: Creep - acoustic version. Although it was created a while back it has just won an award at the prestigious Flashforward conference: an annual state-side gathering that celebrates all things Flash. Hoorah.
Creep won in the Art category and although I could not be there personally to heckle other winners, my acceptance speech was graciously read out by the very talented animator and Flash book author Chris Georgenes of Mudbubble.com.
You can view the acceptance speech here by clicking the 'Laith Bahrani - acceptance letter in art category' item in the menu under the video box.
Thanks must go again to all involved.

Help wage war against corporate oppression by spending all the money you slave to acquire on Low Morale (www.lowmorale.co.uk) T-shirts and knick-knacks. And don't worry about the potential hypocrisy of buying merchandise based on animations that have anti-capitalist undertones - it's subversive!

I've done a fair few interviews in recent months, but none more self-indulgent and spurious than this latest collection of rambling retorts.
The interview was conducted by the lovely people at 3D-Total (www.3dtotal.com) for a publication called '2D artist magazine' which is available for download from their site www.2dartistmag.com.
Click on the image to the right to download a PDF of the interview and discover things about me and my work that you never knew, much less cared about.

After 4 million years of work, the music video for new British band NIZLOPI is finished. The video was commissioned back in January 2005, for the band's first single release - 'JCB'. As well as a music video, part of the project was to develop a micro-site and preview of the video to get some buzz going. The micro-site, www.jcbsong.co.uk did just that and has helped raise awareness of the band.
The full video is now complete and available to view from the site, or direct from this page : www.jcbsong.co.uk/jcbvideo.asp
The thumbs on the right are some stills from the animation. Click them for more pictures.
I'd like to wish the Nizlopi band the best of luck...they deserve every success.
UPDATE: The JCB music video wins 'Submerge Industry Award' in the category of 'Bestest thing ever'. |
