Connections, connections gift packs, new paintings

My animation is finished. It is called 'Connections' and you can watch it by clicking on these words here. It is, at its base level, a story of a phone call between two young lovers, but it also is about much more than that. I intended to downplay the signifance or individual identity of the characters so as to show the diversity and complexities of the connections and communications between humankind, nature and the universe on a much wider level.
It is what I've been building up to since September, and the final animation is the product of about two months of work. I am immensely proud of it.

At the degree show in June I will be selling these super-extra-limited-edition gift packs to compliment the animation:
Each one contains two unique hand-painted 1-inch pin badges, a flipbook depicting the first and last scenes of the animation (the phonecall bits; the scene just after the intro and the scene just before the end credits) a business card with a frame from the animation printed on it, and twelve small stickers each depicting a tiny snippet of a frame from the animation or from some other miscellaneous piece of unrelated work.
They will probably go for about £6.

I've also been working on a few new paintings, now that work on the animation has ceased and I can finally find the time to do so. A couple of finished ones are here but I have a few more in the pipeline as well.
I'm currently looking into a means to sell paintings online, so watch this space.
