Dec 2007 part A
These are my first tentative steps into the wierd world of ZBrush. The UI is like nothing I have ever used but it's got plenty of potential so when I have time I want to mess around with it a bit more.
This is actually a bit of a cheat because I had to add all the colour in Photoshop afterwards!
October 07
I had been asked to take part in the shoe-painting exhibition "Pimp My Sole" but sadly it was cancelled at the last moment. Sadly a lot of us got our shoes dressed up for nothing so I thought I'd show off my effort on here:
Sept 2007
August saw me complete another commission for The Independent and their web promotion for the Rugby World Cup (see above) and I also completed a job for the lovely chaps at SODA for a print and web-animation based promotion.
July 2007 part b
Here are some images of the "Let the Music Speak" festival! By all accounts it was a great day and the Promo for One EskimO went down a storm!!! It was shown a couple of times, on a packed "Fun Bus" kitted out with two large flat screens to show both inside and out!
JULY 2007
Over the past 4 months myself and fellow peanut, Lucy Sullivan have been working hard creating and co-directing an animated music promo for the band One EskimO and their song "Hometime".
Check out some of my concepts for the characters! It's been a great commission and we can't wait to get it out there. The vid will be premiered at the "Let the Music Speak" street party on July 21st 2007!
March 2007
Hello and welcome to my March 07 entry! Here's what's been happening:
My (old) agency Jelly got a great four page article in this months Computer Arts. They asked me to write a few words about what it's like being on their books. It's great exposure as I get a nice little profile box on the Job I did for Honda (see above)! Feb 07 also saw the 1st anniversary of Jelly's launch so there was a little birthday party at the Conningsby gallery, London.
This month also saw me trekking up to Soho to spend a few days animating at TH1NG animation Studios to work on a new series of Kwik-Fit "weather" adverts the feature before and after the Channel 5 news. I spent 3 days animating a washing line and the pants swinging on it!!
Just finished a concept design for Hasbro too but dunno if it'll ever see the light of day (see above also).
Finally, this saturday sees our animation for "just for the kick" playing on the bill for the Birds Eye festival. It's actually a festival for women-only film makers and because 2 of the 3 of us who made the animation are female we made it in!
FEB 2nd 2007
Already Febuary?? It's been another busy few months! I've enjoyed some tasty exposure in January's edition of Computer Arts, finished another Manjelly animation and worked on a couple of large pitches for a Krispy Kreme job. Check out the doughnut balloons!
I also received another commission from The Independent newspaper for their annual sales conference. I had to design a couple of large "Brighton Boards" ( you know the things..old English seaside entertainment...you put your head through a hole of characters face and you look like you have a funny body!)

Dec 2006
What a year it's been, what with music video nominations and illustration commissions for Honda, book illustrations and TONS of flash animations for the web! I've just finished a Flash animation for a well-known London-based cockney soap opera!! It'll probably be on for about 4 seconds but I was very proud of the finished effort. Sadly I had to sign a "contract of silence" and hand over all ownership and copyright of the work. Hence why I can't show you what show it'll play on!
Those of you who are familiar with my work may have recognized it but I doubt it..."sigh", the things we do for money eh? Hey don't judge...Xmas is fast approaching!
NOVEMBER 2006!
It's been a busy month with lots of deadlines arriving at the same time. It also saw the beginning of a new collaboration project between myself and Dave Thompson at Pigeonpress. After being handed a few storyboards, my job was to bring to life his little characters to life. Check out the malicious green bean and his long suffering "friend" in the 'media' section website .
Festival du Clip, 2006 Aix en Provence OCTOBER
October saw the Smuggling Peanuts crew in France at the annual Festival Du Clip competition. For those of you who don't know us yet, Smuggling Peanuts are a small collective of illustrators/animators and we recently were nominated for the music video we created for Coldcut's track 'Just for the Kick'.
We were also invited to attend this years RezFest at the National Film Theatre for a Q+A session, along with the Coldcut chaps...which was nice!
