Hi, I’m Dann!

Born thirty-something years ago in a tiny village that could easily be mistaken for a squished fruit fly on a map, I moved to Farnham, Surrey to study BA Animation at the University for the Creative Arts.

It was there in my attic that I found an oil painting of myself. “Perhaps I should nail my soul to the Devil’s altar,” I murmured and in a flash, my soul escaped my body and hurtled towards the painting.

Unfortunately, my soul ended up missing and hitting a nearby armature. And from then on I was transformed into a stop-motion animator.

I was awarded a First Class Honours for my troubles.

Then, after skulking in the shadows of the animation studios at the Royal College of Art in search of a master’s. I escaped victorious and have been released into the mortal realm, a phrase here meaning ‘South London’.
