Quentin Blake’s ‘Box of Treasures’ is the first ever series based on his work, and will be presented as an animated box set of hand-picked (26 minute specials) specials based on six of Quentin’s iconic best-selling books.
It was a pleasure working with the great folks at Kong Studio, as a 2D Animator, to provide character Animation from Rough to Tiedown for the two episodes being produced at the studio – ‘Mrs Armitage on Wheels’ & ‘Loveykins’.
Both Episodes are out now! and available to watch on BBC iPlayer…
Mrs Armitage on Wheels
Inventor extraordinaire Mrs Armitage and faithful dog Breakspear love adventurous hobbies like skydiving until an accident dents Mrs Armitage’s confidence. Recovered, she plans a short cycling trip, but keeps putting it off adapting her bike with horns, a tool kit, and even a sail! The ‘land yacht’ eventually launches, but a further accident leaves Mrs Armitage doubly nervous. Luckily, her Uncle Cosmo comes to the rescue gifting Mrs Armitage his old car and getting her finally back on the road!

Loveykins
After a storm, Angela Bowling discovers a small helpless, abandoned bird which she lavishes with care and attention. She feeds Augustus (her little ‘Loveykins’) with the finest cakes and sweets. However, as he grows bigger and bigger, he longs for more bird-style treats such as worms and bugs.
