I have been busy writing away and getting various illustrations together for some other projects.

'Cockney Coppers' was an animation project that looks to now be featured in a 'Computer' animation 'how to ' book.

So I have set up a blog for the books author and publishers...Anyway I'm now thinking design wise these characters may have some legs as puppets.

Not sure but watch this space...

The scripts, short sketches, I have been writing are still in development as far as the Toast project goes. ( As are my character designs).Anyway you can check out the blogs here...
