About
mookdesign ('mook' from the Japanese term for moving image or M(oving) (B)ook) came to fruition in one little persons mind winter 2002, but didn't really get off the ground until late 2003 and has been gathering momentum ever since, as experience grows in the land of animation (both 2d and 3d) digital interaction projects and film. The numbers change on a weekly basis but there's always the core little person steadfast at the helm. Aye aye Cap'n Mook.......... .

music, design, chocolate covered raisins, red wine, stripey socks, whisky and ginger, taking photos, Russian accents, interactive design, animation, airports - which means planes - which means travelling, pretending to myself I'm good at various playstation games, my holga, rain, peshawari naan bread, driving around on sunny evenings, art, being rubbish at drinking, watching films, Japan, going out for lunch and wine in the afternoon, adidas gazelles, talking all night, all your base are belong to us, trying to cook like a grown up, spending probably far too much time on my computer, words, boozy picnics.......
