As well as drawing lighting plans I’ve been drawing illustrations for @steveknightleyofficial for this “Twenty Tales in Transit” book. Have a peek at my illustration account: @willthomasillustrates for some sketchy behaviour related to this project. You can buy this book from /steveknightley or from the merch desk on his tour! #illustration #penandink

After months of hard work we are so excited to share with you ‘The Signing Mother - A Visual Vernacular for Derby’ We trained students from The Royal School for the Deaf Derby in video history. As part of the project, students interviewed parents who are deaf and took part in Visual Vernacular workshops led by Martin Glover and Zoë McWhinney. From this research grew our bedtime story: The Signing Mother – A Visual Vernacular for Derby, told through British Sign Language and mime. You can now experience The Signing Mother as it is video-mapped inside our giant bedside lamp — The Giant Daffodil, on display at Nightlight Lullabies at Derby Museum and Art Gallery until 1 November.

Once again very proud to work with @blackbeamcinema and contribute to the #northdevonhospice Nightwalk with my trusty #chamsys mq60. A privilege to flash lights at all the amazing women who ran, walked and partied their way from Bideford to Barnstaple.

Taking it all back to where it began for me: @submotionorchestra at #exeterphoenix #chamsys magicQ200! Have a look at @willthomasillustrates for some lighting design.
