sculpting a bootleg Bagpuss

Close-up on the the face of a pink and white striped cat sculpted with modelling clay, its blue lips fixed in an eerie grin.

Photo of the clay cat laid flat on a pane of glass for shooting, a sheet of purple card behind as a backdrop.

Upside down close-up of the clay cat, with its smiling blue lips and glass bead eyes.

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

Parody PSA poster featuring a cartoonish clay cat that looks suspiciously like Bagpuss, with a white arrow pointing to it. Text: ‘Curiosity will kill this cat. Don’t risk it. Stay incurious.’

a plasticine service announcement #clay #sculpting #process

Progress photo of a plasticine face being sculpted, initially just a round pink head with smiling red lips, glassy eyes, and a set of real-looking teeth.

Another progress shot of the sculpt, now with a long worm-like nose, big ears, and blue veins wrapping around their face.

The final untreated photograph taken for the poster, the artist’s fingers hooked into the smile appearing to yank it up, and a blue plasticine sweater below the big pink head.

A close-up of the finished poster shot, the character now staring deep into your soul and learning all your secrets. Thank you for visiting Lockwoodland.

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

Parody PSA poster featuring a cartoonish clay character having their mouth stretched up in a fixed smile by the artist’s hands. Text: ‘Turn that frown… INSIDE OUT (your real feelings don’t matter)’

accurate depiction of my lil egg scootin’

Simple doodle of my three-year-old daughter riding on her scooter, with her bunny toy sat in the basket, both smiling.

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)

Little Lockwood’s very first discernible character 🥲

My almost-3-year-old’s character doodle — one big head on spindly legs, with dinner plate eyes, spiky hair and an oddly anxious expression.

entering Pictoplasma’s call-out for character-based stickers with this toothy nightmare. @pictoplasma.bsky.social #stickycharacters

A die-cut sticker design of a pink clay face having their mouth forced into a smile by a pair of real hands. Their clay flesh drips and blue veins wrap around their head. Around them are the words ‘Turn that frown INSIDE OUT’.

ok I didn’t expect it to look quite like the picture but COME ON

An ad image for the KFC Pickle Burger: a ton of pickles and gallons of sauce, in a fluffy seeded bun.

The reality of the KFC Pickle Burger: one and a half pickles and a sneeze of sauce, in a flat plain bun.

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

Eliot Lockwood@lockwood· Mar 6

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...

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...

Eliot Lockwood@lockwood· Oct 27

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. ★★

Eliot Lockwood@lockwood· Oct 27

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. ★★★
