Mr. Benn
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Very happy to read that the residents of Festing Road in Putney now have an engraved paving stone outside No. 52 in honour of my childhood friend Mr. Benn and his creator David McKee. I’m hoping they do one for Danger Mouse in Parliament Square next.
Heinz Edelmann – Der Phantastische Film (1970)
Friday, October 23rd, 2009Short but sweet TV ident by illustrator, Heinz Edelmann (Yellow Submarine) for Der Phantastische Film, a TV film show broadcast on German TV station ZDF in the 70’s/80s. I completely missed the news that Edelmann passed away in July earlier this year, so this is a rather belated note of respect from us.
Charles & Ray Eames – Powers of Ten (1968)
Sunday, October 18th, 2009Powers of Ten, written & directed by Charles & Ray Eames.
Kraftwerk – Autobahn (1979)
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009One of the classics. Animation by Roger Mainwood, who later went on to direct the kids TV series of Meg & Mog, based on the books of another personal hero of mine Jan Pienkowski (more on him later).
UPDATE: Many thanks to DJ Food for hooking us up with this link to an interview he did with Roger Mainwood last year. +Excited to hear the video could yet make it on to DVD!
