Mukpuddy… why grow up?
One of New Zealand’s most successful and fastest growing animation/cartoon studio’s mukpuddy was interviewed on TV2 last month. I forgot to post about it so here it is. Not just creative news but one of the illustrators “Xander” a.k.a Alex Leighton is the creator behind Geek Freeks with partner Karla Hansen.
If you did not see it on T.V its worth taking 5 to watch it. It makes you want to be a kid again.

phil&teds – NZ leaders in nursery products.
Sonar6 – the world’s only graphics-based employment management system.

The awards were started in 1997 by the Designers Institute of New Zealand. The aim of the Design in Business Award is to celebrate New Zealand companies who have used and fostered design to develop more competitive products and businesses, and to establish a link between an investment in design and business growth.
