Originally briefed by Picador (Pan MacMillan) to visualise and animate the ex-junior doctor / author Adam Kay’s ‘This is going to hurt’ diary entries. The success of the project from initial release, paperback and eventually to being turned into a BBC TV series (starring Ben Whishaw) makes this one of the most interesting projects I have contributed to.

The book received rave reviews from characters like Stephen Fry, Charlie Brooker et al and led to a commission from the Man Booker Prize for myself and Adam to produce a short musical film to celebrate their Golden (50th) Anniversary.

Adam extended the series in 2019 with, ‘Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas' and these 'festive hospital diaries' were again accompanied with a short series of animations.
