Last week we were joined for some work experience by Matt Lloyd, an illustrator fresh out of Bath Spa Uni.
He really impressed us with his stop-motion work on Vimeo (click here to watch Hand Drawn Evolution) that we set him a challenge – to create one for jelly!
With only a few days and a light-box, Matt (with a little help from our in-house IT wizz-kid, Sam) created an 11-second stop-frame animation which we’re excited to now share with you.
This is Angus. Hello!
Angus is a cute toy testing robot that lives in the fantasy world.
Our fantastic Poked Studio designed him for the latest Argos Christmas Adverts.
Poked’s 2D and 3D designs were used as reference to create the animated advert, which will be played on CITV over the Christmas period.
So, keep a look out!
This campaign is live across the US at the moment!
Neil Duerden created this as a major style shift for Kraft to link their cracker-like products with the Super Bowl.
As you can see, the final version was a clear and precise execution of the brief (unlike Neil’s usual work, created to a depth of illustration seldom seen)… cheesetastic!
Yesterday, we received a visit from our friend & illustrator Sim Marriott.
He flew all the way from Cornwall (yes, MILES away!) to visit jelly towers; check out his portfolio and tell us about what he’s been up to; oh, and drink our tea. Of course.
He reminded us that some of his work is currently being displayed on one of our client’s websites. Our friends at DDB UK are showcasing their campaign for Kwik-Fit featuring Sim’s fantastic illustrated characters. You can check it out here!
We can’t wait for Sim to come and visit us again!!

Hello folks!
Thanks to the wonderful people at D&AD, we’ve had a HUGE response to our request for helping hands. Our calendar is booked up to Christmas with work experience placements, which sadly means we cannot offer any more for the time being.
But, do not fear! Continue to send in your applications; We’ll keep them on file until we have some cancellations and/or it’s the New Year and we’ll be looking for another bunch of enthusiastic people to join us!

“Black and White” utilizes light and shadow to convey the opposing themes of the piece, including love/hate, life/death, young/old, daydream/nightmare, and ugliness/beauty. The narrative unfolds through an innovative mix of shadow puppetry and animation, as two-dimensional characters come alive in a colourless world, underscored by The Raveonettes’ haunting vocals.
A majority of the elements used in the video were shot in-camera, and puppeteers’ hands and rigging are often left in the shots to create a more spontaneous and organic aesthetic. The piece retains its whimsy through unexpected visuals, references to the beloved Danish fairy tales of Sune’s youth, and a richly textured physical and emotional landscape that can only be fully experienced after multiple viewings.
jelly hello!
Sim Marriott and his creative partner Lee Scarfe – collectively known as The Rough Idea – have just unleased their latest site onto the world wide web! It features examples of Sim’s illustrative work as well as their animation and links to other projects. They’re hoping that this creation will be the start of more interactive digital work/websites!
