Trouble at Mil'an

For those who aren't reading over there, I'm giving a little talk and curating a not-so-little exhibition over in Milan later this month. Come along, do.

Because I still seem to have some spare time

28 April 2008. Inspired by magblogging.

I know, blog, I've been neglecting you. You see... I'm also with another now. I don't see why we can't just share. I love you both equally.

So come and join the party over at the Magtastic Blogsplosion!

The Spaniards are coming!

21 April 2008. Inspired by yet more acclaim.

Remember I talked about us getting nominated for a magazine Oscar? Here come the BAFTAs.

Ling has won In-Book status at the D&AD awards for its groundbreaking covers. Judges included Terry Jones (founder of i-D) and Janet Froelich (creative director of the New York Times magazine).

Good thing cava's cheap in Barcelona.

UPDATE: We've celebrated by putting Ling online! See it (without the ads) with clickable pages over here.

For those who might find themselves in Hull next week - and hey, who in this day and age can say that will never happen - the man Richards and myself will be doing a screening/talk entitled Playing Hollywood: The Rise of Machinima, as part of the Hull International Short Film Festival.

For all fans of storytelling, computer games, short films, silliness and big screen mayhem. Come along!

Here's the blurb from the catalogue:

"You don't need cameras to make films. Instead, get a Playstation. Amateur filmmakers around the world are doing just that, subverting videogames to tell their own stories, and sharing them online.

Showcasing the very best in the growing genre of 'machinima', Andrew Losowsky and Nick Richards will blow you away with comedies, action sequences, moving dramas and jaw-dropping art, all made with a mouse and gamepad. Neither gaming nor cinema will ever be the same again."

NEVER THE SAME AGAIN!

Some of you may have wondered what I was talking about before, when I said I was up to something. Others may even have wondered what I've been up to in the last month or so. The answers are here. Lap it up, kids. Pre-order now, and get very, very excited. They are *gorgeous*.
