Bass Drum of Death rocked The Exchange in Bristol last night- I went down and got some photos of them in action and Bristol support, Yes Rebels. If you get a chance to see either, do it!
My name is Kirsten. I take photographs, write songs, play guitar and try my hand at different types of crafty goodness. And I'll post some of these things in this very blog...

Man talks to his 12 year old self…Just found this little gem of a video again and it’s just as entertaining watching it the second time round. What would you say? -

I headed to the Tate Modern this Sunday for a tea party for the Tate Movie kids (the project I’ve community managed for the last few years!). They have made amazing work and good friends on the website throughout the time the project has been running. We wanted to do one last special thing for them, and also let them stay in touch with each other if they’d like to so we planned a goodbye party for them.
They sat together eating sweets and jam sandwiches, and swapped cards and letters they’d brought for each other (and us!). We watched the movies they made on the website and as usual, they drew, scribbled and created lovely things with all the pens, paper and crafts we brought for them. This is a bunch of kids destined for big things, believe me!

We’ve had lots of lovely messages from the Tate kids thanking us for the Tate Movie Project. My favourite has to be this letter, which clearly states that I am more awesome than Happy Potter the musical, YES! You heard it here first. Click-the-pic to get a good look!

The Tate Movie Project and its online community have now come to an end! I’ve managed the community for the last two and a half years and it has been such an amazing, funny and inspiring project to be involved in. The project originally started as a venture by Aardman and Tate to create an animated movie for and by children. The 28,000 children involved in the site made the ‘Itch of the Golden Nit’, which tells the story of a golden nit who needs to find his way back to the sun and a little boy called Beanie, who must help the nit in order to save the world. The story, ideas, drawings and scripts were all contributed by 28,000 children through the Tate Movie website, which I’ve been lucky enough to manage for the entire project,
After the movie was released, the children created their own animated films using the tools on our website, and making up their own stories, drawing all their characters and then animating and editing everything themselves.
The project has been brilliant from start to end, and we hope that there are lots of kids out there now inspired to draw, be creative and maybe even be an animator or artist when they grow up. -

My sister got married in September and as well as being a bridesmaid she asked me to take some photos to capture the day. I love these ones of the two of them together, which seem to capture how happy they were that day and how beautiful the setting was. I couldn’t resist including one with the bridesmaids too, holding hands and looking up at the bride and groom. There are more photos on my Flickr page.

Lovely animation by Felix Massie! And not so good joke below… :)
Here’s a little animation about Ludwig van Beethoven I made for Universal Music for their Sinfini Music project! You can find out more about it on their website along with lots of other interesting stuff which brings classical music to life!
What was Beethoven’s favourite fruit?
Ba-na-na-naaaaa!
