On Saturday October 25th meet Curtis Jobling the man behind Bob the Builder, Frankensteins Cat and the new Biteneck Beatnicks for the all new Halloween Extraveganza.
Featuring new paintings and prints from Curtis, and an exclusive signing session of the new Frankensteins Cat DVD and books, the show promises something for all the family.
The new show BITENECK BEATNIKS follows the exploits of a band of kooky, cool-cat, vamp-kids who solve weird, other-worldly and downright wacky mysteries in between school, comic-books and general adolescence.
The gang operates out of the nightclub “The Midnight Lounge”. It’s located in Chillville: home to the devious, decadent, and downright devilish. Where film stars rub shoulders with fearful phantoms, politicians play patty-cake with poolside ghouls and mobsters shoot craps with monsters.
The show combines all the key freaky elements of Universal Studios monster movies, The Twilight Zone, The X-Files and 50’s sci-fi movies, with a large dose of juvenile fun. The stories revolve around milkshakes and Martians, pinball and pod-people, B movies and killer bees!
When the Beatniks aren’t making swinging, hip music for the club-going little people, they act as a detective agency, sleuths for hire. If they’re not jamming they’re hitting the mean streets of Chillville putting a stop to evil, lame pop music, bad guys and general square-ness.
The designer of worldwide hit children's television show 'Bob the Builder', and the author/illustrator of numerous childrens books (including the acclaimed “Frankenstein’s Cat”), Curtis lives in the sleepy Cheshire idyll that is Warrington. Although best known for his work in film and television, it is Curtis’s widely collected paintings that make him one of the UK’s most exciting and sought after artists.
Having left Cleveland College of Art & Design in Middlesbrough in 1994, he went on to work with Manchester based puppet masters Mackinnon & Saunders on Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks, before moving on to the BAFTA award winning Bob The Builder. More recently he has achieved success with the Mackinnon & Saunders produced animated series of Frankenstein’s Cat, as seen on the BBC, which recently won the Pulcinella Award for Best Childrens Show at Cartoons On The Bay. He continues to work in the region as well as collaborating with studios the world over.
With such solid successes in the portfolio, Curtis now returns to his earliest love – painting. Galleries on both sides of the Altantic have exhibited Curtis’s picture book artwork and limited edition prints.
Fresh from the success of the animated series comes the premiere of the Frankenstein’s Cat Art Show, featuring paintings based upon actual episodes from the show. In a series of nine paintings (and limited edition prints) we can follow the exploits of the oddest couple in Oddsburg, Nine and Lottie, as they contend with marauding monsters, freaky Frankenpets and bothersome boys.
The Biteneck Beatniks follows the exploits of a gang of freaky deaky kooky spooky cool cat hep cat vampire kids who play in a band fighting evil by the power of Jazz. No, it aint preschool! It’s also in development as an animated series in its own right, Chillville.
Curtis works with acrylics on a variety of materials, including paper, canvas & even roofing felt. Dig it, Daddy-O!
