Old Animation

This is an stop motion animation i did back in my foundation year at Plymouth College of Art and Design. I thought i had lost it forever but recently stumbled across it on an old USB drive. Enjoy.

Summer sketches

Here are some sketches from this summer the majority of which were done in Venice's Marco Polo airport of people eating, drinking, sleeping, along with one of my girlfriends cat 'Smudge' asleep on the bed.

Books

I've been busy trying to finalise two pieces of work recently, the first being 'Prey' a new book stemming from a uni brief entitled 'Bird/ Man' and the other 'Mokele - Mmebe', also a new book that originated from my entry to the Cheltenham Illustration Awards '09, with a few alterations. Both will only be on a small run print for this year though will be properly printed some time in the near future.
