The QUAKE Project

After finishing This Shit's for the Birds, I found myself revisiting an old animation style from the late 2000s and using it to create a series of illustrations inspired by the wonderfully bizarre world of Quake.

This Shits For The Birds

Shits for the Birds is my second animated short film commissioned by Tamworth Regional Gallery in 2026, and easily the most personal and political project I’ve made in years.
