Glory be! Layzell Bros and Jim Stoten bring Adam Buxton's mind to life

Now we know we’ve posted a couple of Adam Buxton’s BUG videos recently (here and here) but this is so bursting with colour and mad imagery that we couldn’t resist. Whereas previous offerings have fused interesting visuals with Buxton’s trademark irreverence, this new piece Livin In The Sunlight, Lovin In The Moonlight is first and foremost an aesthetic treat. With illustrator Jim Stoten and animators the Layzell Bros on board (all creatives we’ve admired for some time) it was always going to be a treat but this slick slice of surreal silliness is well worth surrendering to.

A person dressed in a brown hat with a purple feather and a tan coat leans against a brick wall. A colourful, cartoonish red character with a curved body and yellow shoes is laid over the image, appearing to be blown like a horn.
