CBeebies-Spring Outside

Working with Red Bee Media we were commissioned to create the identity of Spring programming on the BBC's children's channel 'CBeebies'. Our animations 'Duck' and 'Tadpole' have also been aired frequently between shows. See 'Tadpole' here.

A Journey Around my Pencil Case

Andrew & Chrissie were commissioned by Vital Arts to create this installation at The New Royal London Hospital in London.

A Journey Around my Pencil Case is a mixed media installation transporting children from the wards, and taking them on a surprising and entertaining journey to the operating theatre. The route incorporates hand-painted elements, sculpture and vibrant wallpapers. Follow the line drawn along the route as it climbs up into the ceiling, then dive deep underwater to discover glimmering jewels. A confetti welcome awaits patients the end of the journey; a celebratory carnival before a triumphant launch up to space.
