Funky Flamingos

 Some environment wallpaper designs for After Hours, the short animated film I'm working on. Featuring some very funky flamingos.

Brave New World

Some months ago I took part in this year's Folio Society competition. This one was to illustrate Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

An Illustration of Snow

 And St Basil's Cathedral behind it.

It's Nice That

I recently got interviewed by Anna Trench for superblog It's Nice That.

Not to sound uppity but words like "animation magic" are used. It's all very flattering.

Crush Hour

For about an hour and a half in the morning, London becomes a true Orwellian dystopia. Dense crowds of faceless commuters all competing for space whilst trying to escape a rain-lashing. Pigeons with evil agendas swooping and chasing after the more vulnerable looking travellers. Hordes of people, zombified, hypnotised by their Kindles and iPads. And the survivors must battle through it again in the evening.

New Website

Do you like websites? Of course you do! That's why you're here, on this so-called internet. Well let me tell you about my new website, full of illustration, animation and java-scrolling-ness. It's got all my own self-directed work from the last couple of years, and to boot, links to my new Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. If you fancy it, come and say hi!

Check it out by clicking on the "Portfolio" link down the left hand side.

Crab Sense

Detail:

"I need one arm for my hat. I need one for my gloves and I need one to carry my cane. I need an arm free to shake hands with people I meet. I need four legs to stand on, and a fine crab like me, needs two arms to dress”, he said proudly, and he puffed out his chest so much that two of the buttons popped from his vest. Ping!  Ping!"

          

         - Jeremy Crab and the Two Little Fishes

The late Frank Ravenscroft was an unpublished author who wrote children's stories and poetry. I created this illustration as a small tribute to the spirit of the story. To make it I ventured into the dark recesses of my art box and returned with watercolours I haven't seen since the 90s. My next piece will be with chewed crayolas.
