I was asked a few weeks ago to do an interview for the Sydney Morning Herald. It’s a piece about animation in Sydney and can be read here. Pictured is yours truly (and Mumbles the penguin from Happy Feet, just in case you got the two confused).

It seems like an age ago I did this interview for UniSA news. So much happened on Australia in the last few weeks, I had forgotten about it. It’s now up online, or – for all UniSA graduates – in your mailbox.

Interview; The Graduate

UniSA News and its suppliment The Graduate is a paper that goes out to University of South Australia alumni and apparently has a circulation of around 35,000. A few weeks ago I had an interview for a profile piece about what it is I do, how I got involved on Australia and so-on. Special thanks goes to Linda Hein for making sense of my disjointed interview manner. The next issues comes out in October.

It was requested that I provide a photo of myself in a Sydney location. Having not seen a whole lot of daylight – let alone Sydney – in the past few weeks, I needed to fudge something quickly that summed up 1) Me, 2) Sydney and 3) Matte painting. I think this turned out okay for 30 minutes work. In my room. At midnight.

It somehow makes me want to do the 365 Days project…
