Skully in Rib Caged
Kirk and I (and others) teamed up again to create something much bigger than either of us have ever attempted. In 2016, Kirk started his MFA in illustration at the University of Hartford’s Low Residency program. The apex of that two year journey was a capstone project of whatever he'd like to create. After much discussion, we decided to make a short film together based on a character we'd already started to create a world around; Skully. I ended up making a trip over to America to work in Kirk's studio for 2 months, in which time we crafted, created, gamed and snowboarded. Although we didn't get any where near finishing the project while I was there, we continued to build it separately, and by July of 2018, we'd finished. If you'd like to read more about the project, you can check out the in-depth case study on Medium below.
