It's a hot sticky Saturday at the beginning of the world as we place our bets on the biggest race of all, "Darwin's Evolutionary Endurance Steeplechase". From the slime of prehistory through the perils of the ice age, plagues and technology, itĖs a neck and neck struggle to see who will be first to cross the finish line to the Third Millennium.
Arrested for graffiti art at the age of sixteen, Andrew Horne realised he had to find a legal outlet for his talents. Andrew was eventually drawn to animation as it combined his passions for drawing, model making and cinematography, whilst allowing him to comment on the absurd nature of life in a legal way.
Andrew works with drawn animation and dimensional stop motion. His love of animation has won him numerous awards and kept him off the streets for the last nine years, something which pleases his mother although she would be happier if he found a real job.
