shampoo

Just a doodle trying to re create a shampoo

poster. All shampoo ads need a minimum of

two basic things; the product placement, which

is the bottle, and what that product does,

which is the swishing hair. 

London to Tokyo

Inspired by a Ted Baker brief to show case British

fashion around the word.

Robo. Co-D and the Mantis

A second short episode using my robotic character. 

This time the animation test was to try and bring more 

life to the robot by bringing in another life form 

for it to interact with.

vw new beetle cup

Just a random experiment with red,

black, and white bold colours and

contrast. Maybe the font needs to be

re-thought. But the original Idea was

that the harsh red and scratchy type

would represent a bad but fun side 

to this car.

BMW 507

A poster design inspired by the colours used

on old posters and the colours of ageing

papers, with a strong black and white

contrasting object to draw the eye which has

an appearance of a news paper clipping.

Suggesting that prehaps someone has clipped

this car out of an advert because it is one that

they hope to buy in the future.

Volkswagen Golf Mk4

A VW Golf MK4 poster made from a photo

of a model and then heavily contrasted and 

colourised in photo editing software before

applying a vector based background and text.

the praying mantis

A little character that I have created in 3D software after following a 
simple tutorial
( http://cgcookie.com/blender/2009/08/28/modeling-a-praying-mantis/ ). 
I then added a rig to this mantis to allow me to pose it for this poster. 
Hopefully this mantis will appear in a short animation soon.

Taking it for a spin

Taking It for a Spin. A simple computer animation about a Stig like character jumping into a classic sports car and hitting the roads within an empty city. (He basically just goes round the block). With music then composed for it later by Adzin Music (Adam Haynes)

RoBo. Co-D plays with magic

RoBo. Co-D

A simple character that I have created to allow me to
practice and learn new tips on 3D animation. Hopefully
in time this character might develop and evolve to
become more advanced. I'm keeping it simple for now to
help reduce render times and once I've updated my hardware
in the future, hopefully the character and scenes will update as
well. I decided on a robot because I have a general interest in
sci-fi and it should also be easier to animate compared to
organic life.

Star Trek

A simple Star Trek poster made with vectors. I feel that
the colours and flatness make it look quite retro.

cupid strikes again

I got fed up with all the images of Cupid
as a baby, I mean he should be thousands
of years old by now and he probably was
some sort of warrior. Maybe this picture
doesn't need the bold black and type.

why must I destroy

Robots were designed to make life easier and to
help produce all the goods we need, until someone
decided it would be more fun to watch them battle.
True story (maybe).

angry dog face

A practice sketch doodle of a grumpy dog.

blue tools

Just a simple still life I did a while ago. Blue tools in acrylic.


Another study done with pen.

one bright idea

A pair of 3D bulbs created and rendered in blender that
then lead to this simple layout for a poster.

a tripods adventure

A Tripod's Adventure; a basic hand drawn animation to test movement and motion. The plot is simply about making inanimate object come to life, in this case the objects (characters) are a camera tripod and a fire extinguisher playing on a muddy hill side.

The first hand drawn animation I made while participating in an animation work shop a couple of years ago. It probably could of done with a few more in-between frames to smooth out the motion, but this was just a learning exercise.

horse power 5000

A random illustration showing some of
the gears and computing power that
humans need to get power, where as
it's all natural for a horse. That, or it's
a robot horse, I haven't decided yet.


The doodle pre water colour.

single malt scotch whisky

I saw a modest magazine advert for
Scotch Whisky which was all nice and
calm in the mountains but I thought it
could use more power to bring it out.

It's 2012

Just a random doodle for 2012. It's good stuff
