Tin Fox is an indie studio in South Wales making strange art, animation and games.Founded by Tom Mead (aka Mr Mead), illustrator and co-founder of Spiral Circus ('Silt' - Apple Design Award Finalist 2026).It is the new home for my strange brain. I hope to expand into larger narrative projects with other artistic brains across different disciplines and spread weird fictional hand authored non AI made worlds into this strange world we all live in.
