Some illustrations i did for a short promo film. Check it out! 

Josh’s Story

Directed by Stefan Wernik at The Magnificent Itch.

The other day i showed some environment designs I did for the kids show, Bottersnikes & Gumbles, for Mighty Nice. Today I’m posting some of the backgrounds I did for the 2D intro!

It was a great little project, directed by Alex Grigg. I worked with Alex to define the look of the intro, eventually turning my concepts into more useful backgrounds.

Find out more about the show here.

I tought a class? 

I found these images done as part of a class I ran last year at CDW (concept design workshop, in Adelaide). Its a great school! The class was on visual development for animation. We took a little story idea and tried to flesh out some sets and do some background paintings for it. My story was about a Dutch admiral that gets shipwrecked alone on an island. 

I did some after effects stuff for the more finished looking background but seem to have lost it :(

Over the past couple of years (on and off) I’ve been helping out to produce background artwork for Michael Hill’s short film The Orchestra. It was just recently finished!

Part of my job involved designing and treating 3D assets to fit with 2D painted backgrounds. I’ll put some stuff up about that at some point, it was kinda interesting!
