On Inspiration

Flash has been around for a long time, and it's power lies in simplicity. Flash video is at the core of viral internet memes and websites that have been viewed by millions of people. The End of the World was an absolutely huge success and I know people who still quote the phrase "But I am le tired."

Inspiration can come from any medium, the main inspiration for my piece is Edward Gorey. Often called the dark Dr. Seuss, his simple but whimsical drawings and storylines say a lot with very little.

My goal for the flash interactive is to create a simple piece that feels complete. You don't need a lot of colour or fancy images, you just need a good story.
