Simon Whiteley - The inspiration behind the matrix code design is within us. Sushi and that Japanese cookbook holds the key to life's spark. The tears of rain that create the forest of green is a reference to the Eirys Coeden. Guardians of the Mimlacode - the creature's code of ethics. Humans and creatures must work together if we are to save this rainbow coloured planet we call home. The little bird with bow on the bike is now 25 and follows the white rabbit's foxfire moon and stars from Achernar well spring in the sky.
I was born 26th July 1962 in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, United Kingdom. My childhood was spent barefoot and free between Hastings and Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK and Khartoum, Sudan, Africa. Where I first encountered the Eirys Coeden.
A Production Designer, Art Director, Visual Effects Supervisor, Writer and Screen Writer. I completed my BA (Hons) in Design and Visual Communication in Birmingham, UK where I studied art, story and longevity in civilisations and began writing about the Eirys Coeden. My career began at the BBC, Pebble Mill, Birmingham before moving to BBC, Shepherds Bush, London with the introduction of Quantel's Paintbox in 1985. In 1986 I joined BPCC Video Graphics pioneering Quantel's XL Graphic Paintbox (the forerunner to Photoshop) Freelanced for the newly emerging Frame Store before heading to Sydney, Australia in 1987 to work for The Video Paint Brush Company. Precursor to Animal Logic which I joined in 1991 working on commercials then movies for over thirty years. Most of which have had some environmental grounding - The Babe movies, Happy Feet, the Guardians of Ga'Hoole Owl movie, the Peter Rabbit movies, even The Lego movies and The Matrix movies are trying to get humans to open their eyes and work together with the world around them. All First Nation stories weave us into our environment, we should be part of it. There is more to this world if we just slow down, wait and listen.
I now spend my days in Golden Valley at the Mimlafoundation with the fox, the hedgehog, the little bird and their friends invading my dreams, delivering you Mimla's Code. Offering up an alternative - a little hope to this wonderful world we call home. The Keymaker is active and has the rainbow scabbard - the Eirys Coeden in all of us. From its light into darkness we are born.
