11

I wanted to do a kids book style thing for the boulder blog. The book i used as a basis is japanese and i've edited some of the text, some it probably means nothing!

I have some others done so i'll post them tonight.

steamy studios!

OK. This is a one minute pitch i put together with my friend ed. it was back when both of us were unemployed and there was a competition for a show on bbc3. it was aimed at 20-26 year old males... hence why we went with this. At the time i was really happy with this, it took a week all together. (that is to say, compensating for the crappy jobs we were boht working to get money). Anyway, i did the designs and animation and ed did the sound and the dialogue. Strictly adults only please

OVER 18's!!!

Back at work

So i'm back to work finally. Was in for a brief stint on thursday but then preceded to collapse on friday morning and weex for air till about sunday night... Anyway, i missed the frameworks deadline, but to be honest in my dilerium i had a dream where i told myself not to do it thru boulder. (i think you can safely call that a sign!)

anyway, i dont really keep any pics on this machine. so i'll post something when i get home.

Yippee!

so i'm feeling a little better now. I think i'll go to work tomorrow now, and make myself ill again!

Was wondering if the leaflet thing was working for anyone, and if it was could you tell me!!!

So Still Sick!

So I'm still sick! yahoo.... I'm at home today and pissed off cause 4 days in bed is a waste of time and not exactly helpful when my deadlines are this tight. I'm up because i had to sort out the permissions for the boulder blog and then, its back to bed. The only consolation i have is that it looks like rain out side. Anyway, sorry for moaning again, and for anyone whose read this i decided that you deserve something nice to look at. So on Saturday i made an online portfolio thing (I'm trying to sort out a web site for myself), so i may as well post it here for the time being...



if you like anything on this I'd love to hear it, so feel free to comment!

Just checked this blog!

I ment to add this to the previous post, it's Gabe Swarr's blog. Gabe is one of the Head guy's on El Tigre, the show i currently work on. Forget his work on that stuff thou, i much prefer his Super Mario stuff. Anyone who knows me knows i'm a nintendo nutjob, so i find all that stuff on the site much more interesting! Maybe someday he'll get a mario show, and if i'm lucky we'll work on it too! Anyway, go check it out!

Not feeling too good!


So, I've been in bed for the last 2 days, so its been a really great bank holiday week-end!!! My sister brought some viral thing home and after a week of her being sick, i finally got it. So I decided to post an image from my show reel DVD i made when i went to Canada. It's one of the last images on the DVD and i really like the mega man head. I also found some pretty great blogs and sites during my "in firmed" time! Go check them out there's some brilliant stuff. I think my favourite blog i found is actually a guy in England called Andy J. Latham. He's learning to animate so its refreshing to see some one with such enthusiasm!

Andy's blog


Andy's got some great video files on there. Go watch!

Sandra's stuff

Sandra gave me her blog link for the boulderblog. But it thought i'd post it on mine first. Sandra is the Production artist on Funky Fables (aka twisted tales). It's the other show boulder have in production at the moment. It's pretty cool having someone in the company actually drawing up characters for a show. Sandra is just as nuts about animation as i am so go check out her stuff!

Sandra!

My showreel

so after about 2 hours figuring out youtube (yeah, i know, i'm an idiot) and my computer crashing several times, i finally got my reel posted. The reel is made up of most of the things i've worked on in the last 4 years. I only included 3 shots of El tigre because when i made the reel, only 2 shows had actually been shown. Anyway enjoy!
