Damian Gascoigne joined Picasso Pictures in 1993, already an established illustrator and animation director, having directed work such as the BBC Holiday Programme titles and a number of short films. At Picasso Damian has directed many successful title sequences and commercials while continuing his filmmaking. His BBC titles for Situation Vacant (1995) and Proms (1997) both won silver BDAs, and Damian directed The Franklin’s Tale on the much-acclaimed Canterbury Tales for S4C in 1998. Other notable projects have been commercials for Mercury One2One and Watermans for McCann Erickson in New York.
