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


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).

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
