Badimate_2.0


What am I looking at? 
A while ago we found an interesting set of illustrations online and decided to bring them to life in 'badly' animated GIFs. The results were pretty nice so we decided to make more. The 'Badimate' series was born.

And then? 
We forgot about it.

And now? 
We recently rediscovered this project and have decided to revive the series.

Will it be much of the same? 
Pretty much. Our GIF animation skills have improved over time so are a bit less bad. We'll also expand our search to include book illustrations too as finding interesting stock images is quite hard. We've just found a new Miffy book in a charity shop so will start with that.

Where can we see Badimate?

Great. Thanks. Bye.

Iron Lion Zion




What am I looking at? 
Our Kara Shishi or Guardian Lion.

Is this more voodoo shit? 
Its a Buddist idol which grants good luck whilst offering protection. Ours is made of wood and has a moveable mandible. It also came with a gnarly looking sword.

Cool. Are there any current projects you are working on? 
We're going to an animal themed costume party next month so trying to decide what animal we'll go as. We were originally thinking a Rooster but they are deceptively tricky to draw. So now we're thinking goat or maybe dog? To be honest we don't know at this point but as soon as we do we'll let you know...

Great. thanks. Bye.
