The Second possible image .

Wow - I actually posted 2 weeks in a row !
Maybe I can make this a habit again..................

Update : I just finished gathering some of the conceptual work i did
for Cloudy with a chance of meatballs . I have placed it in a new folder
HERE and you might find some stuff you have not seen before .
On blu ray and dvd Jan 5th .

Happy new year to all !

The artists at dreamworks have decided that it's about time they put out a book showing some of the work they do
outside the studio in their own time . The book will be released in the coming year and features work from some of the best names in the industry .
The material is broad and displays a wide approach in technique from digtial to traditional .

This is one of the paintings that may appear in the book , I hope to post the other next week .

I also have to post the remaining work from Cloudy and since the blu ray release is in Jan
I 'll probably just post the whole lot in the gallery folder and stop dragging it out .

Things have been really busy on the project at work so apologies for not posting sooner .

Cheers all .

Green in the sun .

A quick sketch done this evening just to push some
colour work around for a comic book page .

Currently working hard on a different project for myself -that's why posting has been slow for the past while .
I do manage to get back to the comic book as an escape now and then ;)

Hope to share that other project with you guys at some point in the future .

Cheers .

Mmmmm.....honey .


Still VERY busy . But ......I am sketching .
With the result that things will get REALLY rough and scrappy here for the next while .
Sketches are more fun anyway .

So - fast and scrappy it is .................

Cheers all for stopping by .

Deeper in work that is...........

Another Sketch . Pretty scrappy , but still sorta fun .
A different version of the one below .

I recently saw a trailer for the movie I worked on at Sony for a year and a half .
You can view it along with any future updates HERE

The trailer does not do the movie justice but hopefully the future trailers will .
If you like seeing lots of stuff getting smashed and enjoy the odd serious helping of food
then this might just be the movie for you . I had so much fun playing with scale on this one .
Big , loud , explosive and fun !

I'm in another studio right now plugging away .
We have been extremely busy lately . Really busy .
Hence the slow paced blogging on my behalf .

Sorry .

Been a while I guess ....................



Hope to get back to posting more frequently - even if it's just sketches .

Cheers to all for stopping by .

Well - long time no see again . I went on a quick vacation after reaching burn out point a while back .
I don't know if it worked . I'm jet lagged to almighty hell and work seems to be piling up again .
I really have not been diligent in doing my own work lately and I really need to get back to it .
This is made all the more difficult with the jet lag and generally feeling uninspired .

This was something quickly done at the last minute for a charity event about which you can find the details HERE .
It was organised by the extremely talented artists - Margaret Wuller and Rachel Tiep-Daniels of Dreamworks , and I was very glad to have been invited to take part .
If you jump to the link you'll see many more samples from the folks at the studio .
I sincerely think it is for a good cause and hope that it goes very well .

This is a panel from the comic book .
That project and the other one have been slow to materialize over the last year as work was BUSY .
I am still just as busy with WORK work , but now my commute is just ever so slightly shorter .
I have had the good fortune to have worked with some of the best people in the industry at Sony animation over the last 2 years .
I worked on a very fun project with the best crew one could have hoped for .
It was a great experience and I want to thank each and every person who inspired me .

So . What now ?
Well......as i said I now have a shorter commute . That means I am supposed to have more time .
Now - maybe , just maybe , I might get one of these projects of mine finished .
Here's hoping .

Cheers all .

Near Mullagh - back home .

Next ? - something more imaginative .

Cheers .
