Posted on | February 27, 2013 | 6 Comments

Oliver Jeffers is part of the team behind this year’s TED Conference opening video. Whilst Jeffers isn’t giving a TED talk, you can clearly see his hand in this lovely little film.

    I am obviously waaaay too tired, as I spent the first few seconds of that film looking for his actual hand, before I worked out what you meant.

    Sorry Elli, yes, his metaphorical hand. Hope you get a good night’s sleep!

    I am EXTREMELY envious of Oliver Jeffers’ studio. His work is endlessly inspirational, encouraging and endearing.

    Oliver’s illustration and story-telling are top notch – I love this intro.
