Ultra Halloween Horse

It's fair to say we had fun this halloween.
We hung out at Hello Thor's Hello Gore night at the Nottingham Contemporary.
It had Arts and Farts.

Anne dressed as a box of cereal - A CEREAL KILLER RIGHT?

The costume - despite being great - was impractical to wear - but practical to use as..a table etc..




Here's an official photo of the evening proving what a lark it was: LINK-O-RAMA
It's an ironic boob stare by the way.

STILL TO COME:

ULTRAHORSE ADVENT CALENDARS
ULTRAHORSE CHRISTMAS CARDS

Thanks to those buying up their Ultrahorse Christmas Gifts (c) via Etsy and Big Cartel - JUMP ABOARD PEOPLE!

An Ultrahorse called Panic

So this is about as good as life gets right? Not only are there a load of shorts on youtube - just search 'Town Called Panic' but they've just put out a feature film that is this madness for over an hour. It's brilliant. It's hilarious. One of the main characters is even a Horse.
Stunning.

UPDATE
Oh look - here's a page with them all on CLICK NOW
Also catch the film whilst you can in cinemas..out NOW in glorious 2D.
