curiosity costs lives! according to recently fabricated statistics, sudden unexplained feline mortality in Lockwoodland is 473% more likely for households that query the status quo and/or imagine a better way of life. save the cat. stop asking questions. #plasticine #psa #cat
prepare your smile for inspection! here in Lockwoodland, we take our citizens’ happiness very seriously, with suggested (read: mandatory) smile-cracking exercises for anyone deemed at risk of contracting the dreaded “Betty Blues”. REMEMBER: feelings can be fatal. #plasticine #poster #psa
objectively very funny that #DoctorWho made such a lot of hoo-ha over their Bad Wolf co-production and Disney deal, with a fresh Season One, a big rebrand shortly after the last big rebrand, and a gigantic flashy new TARDIS... only to have to go off air and find a whole new team after three years.
ON THIS DAY 10 years ago... I was just starting work on the project that would springboard me into the animation industry: 8 x 10" summery stings for E4 and Orangina that I made solo in eight weeks! (I was insane I do not recommend it)

I’ve been sculpting weird things again and loving it. #sculpting #plasticine
SNAKEDANCE The Mara returns for another crack at snake-based possession, which turns out to be both more comprehensible and yet less daring than Kinda. Tegan gets good stuff though, and Martin Clunes’ telly debut as a petulant space prince is worth the price of admission. 3/5
ARC OF INFINITY Backpackers Colin and Robin might be two of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. Strong start, #DoctorWho! While it’s cool to have a certain Time Lord return for some body-hopping business, it’s all undeniably flimsy. But boy do they run around Amsterdam. 2/5
Peter Davison’s #DoctorWho is never my favourite area to visit, but in returning to him after so long, I do feel ready to give the beige boy another chance. And hey, I’ve never seen The Five Doctors, so that’s something to look forward to... isn’t it?? Season 20, here I come...
oh hello #PortfolioDay, I’m Eliot Lockwood — director, animator, parkour world champion and liar. I’ve recently returned to the world of freelance animation after two years as an in-house Art Director. anyway here’s a reel for funsies! 👀

spooky spookoweeeen everybody 🎃 I recently wrote, directed and did a bunch voices for this little Universal Monsters x Doodles skit, alongside the most incredible animation team! also on YouTube: www.youtube.com/shorts/qE99s...
Another season from #DoctorWho’s 70s heyday, another very respectible average score of 3/5. I rarely have a bad time with the Doctor and Jo, and it’s lovely to give them more TARDIS trips, even though a few of these don’t quite hit the mark. Onward at last then, to Season 20...
THE TIME MONSTER I love a time-based story, and this brings back the Master for more manical fun, but it really creaks when we get to Atlantis. It ain’t no Dæmons! Instead there are people faking slow-mo, Sgt Benton as a big baby, and the infamous giant glowing budgerigar. ★★
THE MUTANTS Delves into the dying days of colonialism with aplomb for #DoctorWho, but as with most six-parters, it frequently tests your patience too. Also of note: Rick James bafflingly being dealt ‘cockney geezer’, and the acid trip lunacy of the Solonians’ final form. ★★★
