Well we’re there! The exhibition is up and Graham has excelled himself. The show is absolutely fantastic and we’re so proud to be a part of it. Get yourself down to Ink_d gallery in Brighton during May to see some inspirational characters in Print, 3D wood cuts, original drawings and, of course, Animation.

It’s been great to see the buzz all the work has got, from the amount of blogs the videos have been posted in including It’s Nice That, to Televisual’s storyboard section and a double page spread in Computer Arts. So thank you all for the interest and praise and keep a close eye out for more from Graham and the team who are currently working on a new client project.

The adventure continues with… The Explorer

Here is the final character of the trilogy. If you want to see the full feature, with a few extras scenes in there, then you’d better get down to Brighton this May and Graham’s exhibition at Ink’d gallery. Oh, and they’ll be a lot more coming from Graham as he’s now become a Director with us. We’ll keep you posted!!

Welcome Graham and his Marionettes!

We are excited to reveal a collaborative project with the award winning Illustrator Graham Carter. This inspiring project also coincides with welcoming Graham on board as a Designer and Director for ticktockrobot. Premiering as a feature of the Brighton Fringe Festival, we have produced a series of animations of Graham’s work to promote his forthcoming solo show “Me, Marionette”, opening the 4th of May.

The concept takes inspiration from the story of Pinocchio and the recent birth of Graham’s first child. In his work he has explored what he imagines his son’s future to be, the world and influences that surround him and the person he will become.

Here’s the first characters journey to the show, with two more characters coming soon!

We were recently asked by Cartoon Network and Toys R Us to create a dynamic animated spot for a competition for kids to win a Death Star load of Star Wars goodies. It needed to include all 3 brands, but we didn’t give in to the Dark Side of fear and anger but relished the challenge! ClickRead the rest of this post (Comments disabled)

Sorry we haven’t been around much. It’s been a rather busy time, what with big projects and Simon becoming a father! We’ll be updating the site with a couple of the projects we’ve been working on very very shortly. Stay tooned!
