One of our top clients here at goto11, Paul Kenton, has recently been asked to submit a painted elephant for the Elephant Parade London 2010. 250 leading UK artists and celebrities have been given blank elephant sculptures to decorate as they see fit. Paul was honored to be be a part of this fantastic endeavor and painted his own elephant in the style of his dripped mixed-media cityscapes, choosing to reflect the city in which the elephants will be displayed by depicting iconic London architecture and icons.
As part of our ongoing development of Paul’s website, goto11 created the following time lapse video of Paul painting his elephant. goto11 shot this film over one week in Paul’s studio. Many thanks to Richard at wavedreamer, who kindly loaned us a fantastic Sony EX1 HD camera to create the time lapse.
Unfortunately, time restraints on the editing process meant that we have only edited a standard definition version for now, but we will be uploading the full HD version soon.

In essence, wavedreamer is an inspirational community portal site showcasing one film-maker’s projects & his expanding network of surfers, photographers, musicians, creatives & nature lovers. Conceived and driven by Richard Gregory, wavedreamer has always been one of our favourite clients & projects at goto11. There aren’t many fellow creatives round here, let alone any with the same commitment to detail as us, so it has always been a pleasure to work with Richard on the wavedreamer site.
As the Director of his own design agency, Kind Design, Richard had a very strong vision and concept for how the identity and following website would look, but approached goto11 initialy for our expertise in bespoke website design. Ultimately, the project developed as a true design collaboration and the end result was something we are both very proud of. As a showcase for North Devon’s wonderful coastline, we don’t believe there is anything to beat it!
The wavedreamer website was one of our original projects that used the WordPress publishing platform [What is WordPress?]. We initially only used it for building Richards surf movie video journal. After now seeing the impressive power and capabilities of WordPress, the wavedreamer website has recently been completely rebuilt to run entirely on that platform. Richard now has full control of his site content, with goto11 staying on board to help with design tweaks when required.
