“You can’t be a great artist and do the washing up” (quote I heard on the radio the other day)

This is another quick iPad sketch

In my previous role as a web producer at Greenpeace Nordic (Helsinki office) I worked quite a lot with creative professionals (oh happy times). Here’s an animation we commissioned from a Finnish animation collective Animaatiokopla for our anti-nuclear campaign (Finnish Parliament voted on nuclear power in 2010. One party in particular, the Conservatives, were strongly pro nuclear -the main animation character is the Conservative leader. The disaster scene at the beginning of the video refers to problems and cock-ups reported at a Finnish nuclear plant construction site).

I wrote the basic script and drew the first rough storyboard. The song (which is “pro nuclear” in a tongue in cheek kind of way) was done by Greenpeace volunteers, I think. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to produce a pro version of the song.
