New showreel! Only a little'n at 30 seconds as i'm becoming more of a generalist these days - Production/Design/Animation combooo! All animation here is mine.
Some fun bodyshape characters for Arcus' latest work for Joslin Rhodes - Two were used and tweaked, two were saved for another day 8}
Just an unused idea for a roller banner for an event (I chopped off the bottom bit, which was basically just a big space of 'lorem ipsum') We didnt end up needing it in the end as there wasn't space for it!
Concept art stuff for work that I can finally share! This guy is supposed to be an arsehole. I thought it'd be really funny if he was horrible to everyone but was this adorable purpley-pink shade with a fluffy tail!
Really proud of this one! I got to design and illustrate everything in this fun little animation for Joslin Rhodes. Floating islands + fun character shapes. It was nice to do some flat design!
Character designed for Arcus' latest animation for Joslin Rhodes. This extended family helped realise the main character and give him a bit of life (and a moody goth granddaughter)
Finally able to share these! Projected backdrop environments for a play during the Edinburgh festival
Plants gettin it' onnnn
Flat design background characters. You can spot these in the Arcus explainer vid which you can watch here! Especially Biz-man, who has his own section "Money...It's fun to roll in!"
Helping out bossman with an aNEmates logo! Arcus wanted to create a meetup for local people in the animation industry, so aNEmates was born. (NE is the shorthand for Newcastle) - The 'NE' changes every week!
Rejected pitch idea! Daddy Coconut waving off his baby as he floats out to sea to find a new home
My boss James told me about Hayley Akins project Bingomation so I though i'd have a go. You're given a reduced colour palette and lots of limits as it's a gif, so it's a neat little project for an evening!
DigitalArts did a write up on the project! Thanks Digi-art, you guys are babez
Poor Santa - the butt of the Arcus animation! This was a nice collaboration between me and character animator Tom, we designed and animated him in an afternoon, it was nice to try something outside of Arcus' comfort zone!
A Bee just having a good roll around in some pollen
The first piece of concept stuff for work that I'm finally allowed to share 8} This was fun as the brief was 'just do what you want!' and out of the blue this arsehole cat and his scaredy friend were born
Yeh this one's a bit more obscure. Made sense in the pitch! It's some badass water travelling up a plant
Yaaaarg! A few of these didn't make the edit, but the lovely @lukeflowers was being very nice about the pirate and the mermaid, so I might do something with these two later!
My boss James had a birthday, so I made him this using my phone and the animatic app - it's pretty good! Found out about it from Animade's Tom Judd
YIPPIE-KAY-YAY!
Gotta love a bit of Die Hard for Xmas
(animation+design)
Projected backdrop environments for a play during the Edinburgh festival. This one's a modern art gallery. Spot the sneaky Damien Hirst!
Some concept art stuff for work that I can finally share as it's been developed beyond this 8}
Brushes courtesy of the amazing Kyle T Webster as per usual
Finally able to share these! Projected backdrop environments for a play during the Edinburgh festival, this one's the main character's bedroom.
The boys in the studio didn't get this one at all, BUT If you've seen Beyonce's video for 7-11 you'll recognise it!

A little pic of the lovely home of Maggie from Blinknow
Maggie founded an orphanage in Nepal when she was 18 years old (!!!) and has since grown her organisation to include a school and womens centre. Please have a look at their site!
See Maggie's amazing DO LECTURES talk here, you won't regret it!
The Arcus explainer vid! I'm dead proud of this one, I was involved in the storyboarding and key concepts, as well as designing the backgrounds and assets! ... and doing the cringey voice over
I made a bunch of fun gifs for Arcus to release over Christmas! This one's a favourite, because Ellen Ripley is bae. Arcus liked this one so it got made into the Arcus Christmas card this year!
(animation/design)
Arcus made a silly gif about the new Captain America film, this was my contribution! (Brief was 'super cute lettering' so this was inspired by decoden phone cases!)
"Now what is a wedding? Well, Webster's dictionary describes a wedding as: the process of removing weeds from one's garden." - Homer Simpson
Wedding invite for a friend! She moved to Ghana last year, and sent references of an african textile print she wanted to incorporate. Custom lettering and a bit of simple type and it' were' done!
Burger elements for a web app game for Fat Hippo Burgers! You can make your own burger by stacking the pieces on top of each other!
Artwork created for a review I wrote for Digital Arts Magazine on a little program called Hexels, which has just had it's second release!
Gifmas-gif number...i forget. Design by me, this one's animated by my studiomate Tom 8)
