Shots from @thebigdraw last week, @qbcentre. Fantastic evening - got to talk about comics, typography, purpose, and connected with some amazing people. Big shout out to @_murugiah @itsjoeyyu @bentallon. Really enjoyed our convos - hope we get to do it again.

Huge thanks to Elisha and the team for having me. The Big Draw Festival and the Quentin Blake Centre is an incredible resource, and more creatives, practitioners and students need to visit, engage and make use of the space (even my daughter was impressed). Come view some amazing art, discuss and create!

Here’s our motion design and visual effects reel.

Our work spans a diverse range of moving image disciplines, allowing us to approach each project with a versatile and multidisciplinary perspective. Combining live-action film with motion graphics and visual effects is one of our core strenghts. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to visualize stories, ideas and products creating experiences that capture the energy, emotion, and intensity that makes brands stand out.

Thanks to everyone who collaborated on these projects with us!

Collage 1980 ? More from the vault. These have only come to light because I had to leave my studio. I haven’t seen or thought about them for years. I don’t know what to make of them but it’s a fun discovery!

The 2026 FIFA World Cup came to a close yesterday, with @mancity Rodri captaining @sefutbol to glory, whilst also winning the Golden Ball. 🏆✨

To lead City’s branding for the whole tournament has been so fun, showcasing each nation represented by members of the squad across the world. Initially starting with a travel theme of flight tickets and player stamps, to championing the success of players throughout the tournament. 🌍

A huge thank you to @danny_motion for giving me control of the whole competition, as well as thanks to @drivermerle, @cameronmknzdesign and @bentallon for their help across commercial, digital and print campaigns. 🎨

⚽Manchester City FC commissioned Ben Tallon to create a series of posters celebrating the club's players competing at this summer's FIFA World Cup. Featuring Erling Haaland, Tijjani Reijnders, Rodrigo, Jérémy Doku, Ruben Dias, Joško Gvardiol, Nico O'Reilly, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki, the posters were designed to appear in the very host cities where these players would take to the pitch.

Inspired by Manchester's Northern Quarter, Ben combined hand-ripped mixed media, textured lettering and layered compositions to create artwork that feels raw and energetic. 💥
