Our Degree show last Friday was a great success and was rumoured to be the best floor
in the building!


Plenty of champagne flowing and excellent work on show.Was really proud we managed to pull everything off, with very little time. Plenty of drunk photos for afterwards with great friends. 


Next week will be my very last week as a student in the Art building and will be very sad indeed. Its has its ups and downs but nevertheless has been my animation home for the past three years!


The public viewing starts this week, so hope people can come and join us now all the free wine has gone! Managed to speak to a very nice lady, who mentioned the science park of the University are eager to attend, so its nice to see other sectors look at our work, proving we don't just play games and watch youtube all day. 


OPENING TIMES:


Wednesday 6th – Friday 8th June, 10am – 7pm
Saturday 9th June, 10am – 4pm.

BELOW: Photo of my glorious Degree show awards, most proud of the coveted McCabe award of course! Really glad we decided to do a little award show, ended the night perfectly, with a little harmless banter and all round fun!

The second photo is of my good friends, Andrew Edwards and Thomas Massey, holding our prize possession 'The Bromance Award', deserved winners for our group TAP. We each agreed to share it Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, as we didn't want to decapitate the poor duck.

In the centre of the photo is our tutor Steve Arnott, who had been ill for some time but manage to pull one out of the bag and end up being the best dressed person there! Tuxedo for win!

Even my own dad (bottom left) managed to photobomb... I mean come to my award show, which was fun and I'm glad he and my mum enjoyed themselves! 

Defiantly the best night so far and really looking forward to coming to next years Degree Show.

Business cards came yesterday, think they turned out well, so much blue!
This is my Degree Show space for my graduate film 'Interview with a Distraction'. I wanted to recreate as best I could a scene from my film. I think it turned out well and I'm really looking forward to it this Friday 1st June.

Last Animation Party!

This is a photo of Andrew Edwards (right) Me (middle) and Thomas Massey (right) at the last ever animation party at Wolverhampton University. (2012)

Me and Tom came as Terrance and Philip from South Park....great idea!

This is my favourite photo of the 3 years and theres been a fair few...

I probably wouldn't tell them this to their faces (because their already good enough!)
but every inside joke, project, pint in the hogs head or general animation banter means
world to me and I'm gonna miss not bouncing my crazy ideas off these 2 guys.

Ever since the first year, we just clicked and although we have worked on our own stuff this year,
I would still like to work with them in the future. They are two extremely talented animators and will find
success in no time.

I had hoped that in the future, if I acquired enough money and business knowledge that we would partner up and make our first company name, TAP (tom, andy, paddy). Still one can dream and even if it doesn't happen, I feel lucky to have met some brilliant animators and gained some awesome friends.
