Farmer Flufflekins

Animator and illustrator specialising in character, creature and games design with a passion for video games, animation, cinema and comic books I take influence from all of these as well as my love and interest for nature and wildlife. I try to reflect these influences in my personal work and feel they have all have a strong and positive affect on my work over the years. Professionally I have predominatly been working with Adobe Flash for the last few years. Gaining experience working in games design, educational media, virtual worlds, social media and advertising campaigns all aimed at the children to young teen audiences. These projects have allowed me the invaluable experience of working closely with a variety of other departments such as editorial content producers, community management teams and development teams as well as working alongside other designers. The Teddy Troops had been around in the streets for a while before they also turned into a 3D vinyl toy in 2004. First of all Flying Förtress started in 2002 to get up with his chrome Trooper icon. Trying to use an easier readable illustrative symbol instead of doing the classic coded graffiti letters and tags that he had been doing before since 1989. Together with the chrome pieces there have stickers also been seen around in the streets since 2002. Handpainted or silkscreend ones with a hand-drawn finish on "free" post stickers and series of offset printed stickers.
