Time- removed from Endangered list, now “believed Extinct”

Pocket watch

Throughout the 20th Century this unprotected supbspecies became increasingly decreased……

Lookin’ in- Animations and music vids

music vid

Don’t be fooled, here’s the real vid.

Chas Williams and his session men do a nice blues!

Loved workin’ on the vid for this one ’cause  it had such a 1930’s feel to it…

Why? Photo animations!
There are no copyrights on photos before the late 30’s, so a lot of quirky, retro……

Website Art – when a company feels moved to relocate

Left click moving office after the quakes

Left Click was a very nice web company based in Christchurch before the quakes.
Here’s a pic commissioned as they relocated from their crumbly office.

This post comes with music. Click to play!

What does a green, creative, flat-headed monster do on his weekends?
Aside from monster gardening and respectfully attending monster-morning-prayer there’s not much left.

Meet the man in charge- cartoon for CDHB presentation

cartoon-when you think you're in control

Back before the Canterbury Health board began its world-class system innovations they noticed that what was called a “system” was far from systematic.
Like an elephant who’s gotten scent of a sweet mud bath, this system seemed to be steering itself in spite of what the people in charge told it.
TheCartoonist was commissioned to……
