So if you were wondering where I was all day I was attending some wonderful animation-centric lectures at the Waterside Arts Centre in Sale- it was uncanny, every single one of the four speakers there (Curtis Jobling, Carlos Grangel, Peter Firmin and Peter Saunders) has had a significant role in influencing my study and experience of animation! I was lucky enough to get to talk with all of them, including Mr Peter Firmin here, who is legendary in the field for his work with Oliver Postgate (which includes the likes of Ivor the Engine, Bagpuss, the Clangers etc.) This is him giving me his business card after I gave him mine! I think I must have been shellshocked because these are the most none-elastic pictures of my face anyone has ever taken XD but believe me I was ecstatic and still am I mean blimey this guy is one of the coolest and most humble men alive.
anyway yeah today was good
