Michael Blake

I’m an animator, director and illustrator, specialising in 2D frame-by-frame animation using physical media. I love sharing my passion for art and film language, whether the medium is traditional or digital.

It doesn’t matter how it happens, if I’m telling stories, I’m happy.

When I’m not animating I enjoy painting outdoors, doing big jumps and watching Japanese films from the 1950s.
