This was an image I created as part of a pitch document for a short film idea that unfortunately didn't happen.
I was trying to build an image by stitching different images together, it's not a particularly fantastic set up, but I did like the idea and think it was a shame I never had the chance to realise it and explore the idea visually.

Finally......a post

2007-08-29T05:00:00.000-07:00

So last week I was asked to animate a scene for a commercial, so I agreed.
I was asked to design some characters in a very very short space of time, so I did that too.
this is the first time I've drawn in while so I thought i'd post it as it's the only piece of artwork I've done since the Lily Allen job

MArk Ronson Viral

Here's the finshed version.

Mark Ronson Viral-Continued

Here are some images from the finished version.

Mark Ronson-Featuring Lily Allen

2007-05-20T09:35:00.001-07:00

I'm back
I've been locked in the bowels of Mckeown-Devita for the past three weeks working on a self produced 40 sec sting for a track from Mark Ronson's fantastic new album "Version".
The track is by the Kaiser chiefs and features Lily Allen.
Here is one of the backrounds I made for the project.

Guitar Hero

I recently took a quick break from my company, as I was asked to work on an Xbox job, directed by Pete CandleLand, director of the Gorrilaz videos for Passion Pictures.
I thought it would make a nice change so I agreed.
It was the first time I'd animated for over two years and I have to say I was sweating bullets the entire time.
I was also humbled by the fact that I was sharing a room, With Pete Candleland, Robert Valley, Daniel Cacoucault and Alberto Mielgo, it don't think in the 15 years I've been in animation I've been with such concentrated talent.
The Job seems to be well received and it's been pushed quite hard at the moment, If I can work out where the film is been shown I'll add a Link.

Mission Impossible

2007-02-13T10:23:00.000-08:00

a while back I did some work for Uli Meyer, we pitched on a German Aids campaign.
we didn't get it, which was a real shame because I would have had a lot of fun.
I pitched the idea of a mission impossible condom.....it's a long story anyway suffice to say.
It was rejected.

Some story Boards.

More unfinished work

2006-12-18T11:07:00.000-08:00

Ha ha
I was having a go at textures, trying to find an interesting style, probably should try a bit harder.

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit!

2006-12-04T10:54:00.000-08:00

I've been produding for the last three months and it's been getting me down, I can't stand it.
Anyway I'm developing a show I posted an image way last year.
This is Rabbit Stewie, he's not having a good day!!!
He's not the only one.

Unfinished Symphony

2006-11-13T13:02:00.000-08:00

Well I tried to erase my blog and for some stupid reason it didn't work.
So instead I'm posting a piece of work that I haven't finished...yeah cause that makes absolute sense right?

"Testing Today"

2005-11-07T10:25:00.000-08:00

My company was recently commisioned to make a short film by the BUAV to coincide with a vote in the european parliment, that would effectively mean that millions of animals would be used to test thousands of household products in specially built facilities.
This will result in Millions of animals suffering and dying needlessly.
We had about three weeks to produce a two minute film and the budget was ridiculously low, but we decided to do it because it was a worthy cause. We pulled in loads of favours, and ended up sending the work to china to be animated.
I have never worked on a schedule so tight, the whole film was animated in a week. In fact I didn't see the character on the backgroud until we got the scenes back, we also knew that whatever we got back would have to go in the film because there wasn't time to change it.
you can see the film at:

www.testingtoday.info

I don't like to air my political or moral views on any subject in public as a general rule, but there are more effective ways of determining whether these substances are toxic to human beings and adding your name to the petiton takes less than two seconds and it may mean that the newer tecniques receive funding and animal testing is abolished.

next time I promise I post some cute gnomes!!

I'M BACK

2005-11-07T04:00:00.000-08:00

I've been away producing and Directing a short film with my Creative other half Cristian DeVita
We've been locked in a room for 3 weeks working on "Testing Today", here's a still. I'll post some more tomorrow when the film finally goes live and explain what it's all about!

Ok here's some more old stuff, what I'm actually saying is that I don't have any new stuff....I haven't drawn for months, I should be ashamed of myself!

2005-09-18T08:52:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted anything for a while, I've been really busy...here's something i did a while back, it's on my website.
Hopefully I'll have some time to do some new stuff.

"Pussywhipped Pelador"

2005-09-09T09:05:00.000-07:00

These are some stills from a short film I made this year.
It was just something I did in my spare time.
It was all animated in flash, I designed and directed, the animation was by Joe Mulligan and the colour styling was by Sean Hayden of Uli meyer studios.

"Tyrannica VSI"

2005-09-09T04:44:00.000-07:00

This is a still from a pilot I wrote and directed a couple of years ago. It's an animated adult sci fi show. It was hell to make and i wasn't really happy with the result, but we finally did it. It was originally going to be a series. But we've decided to turn it into a feature film, we're in the middle of writing a feature script for it at the moment.

2005-09-09T03:44:00.000-07:00

Here's one of my character design's, giddyup!

2005-09-09T03:30:00.000-07:00

Here's a page of doodles, I like to fill up the page.

2005-09-09T03:09:00.000-07:00

Here's a picture of a sci fi lady I did a while ago.

2005-09-09T02:59:00.000-07:00

This was a pitch for an idea about a kid who gets turned into a rabbit....I'm quite happy with the background, mainly because generally speaking my photoshop skills are not so hot.

2005-09-09T02:51:00.000-07:00

Another page from one of my sketchbooks...

2005-09-06T10:32:00.001-07:00

Here is a page from one of my old Sketchbooks. I love Bede Francois and I was probably reading some when I did this page.

Here's an illustration I did when I was trying to get my head around Photoshop.
