We heart light painting


We decided to try out some light painting. It's brilliantly addictive when you start.

Once we'd figured out  how to make static light painted images, we moved on to animated ones!

Potted paper paradise

We are working on crafting some paper landscapes at the moment too. These pieces are inspired by traditional Chinese pen-jing, literally 'potted landscape'. Each landscape has two components: mountains and water, or shan-shui. Each shan-shui landscape is its own world. Not a representation. An actual world. In a pot.

 We made them out of paper because we like paper. And because paper is cheap, disposable and everyday: perfect for creating possibility, mystery and subtlety.

There's lots more to be done on these little guys so we'll be updating more soon! Here are some making of photos to look at in the meantime:


There are more making of images on our website.

Here are parts 1 and 2 of our animated noir Vine car chase.

Drive, she said. Just drive. Well, here I am. Driving.




I picked up a tail 'bout 38 miles from Bernie's diner. Now what?

Go paper car, go!

We've Vined! It's a Vine! A vehemently vibrant Vine.

It's a paper car being made and then driving off. Nice huh.
