Simon's Cat


"Simon's Cat" began as a series of short, animated films by Simon Tofield. Simon draws all the films by hand using an A4-size Wacom Intuos 3 pen and tablet. This can require up to 25 drawings per second of animation, which is done using Adobe Flash. Simon also makes all of the character's sounds himself, working with sound designer, 'Shrooty'.

Now you can see Simon's cat in his very own book.
