A quick trailer for my Royal College of Art Animation MA first year film, Forgot.

More bits from the animation I'm working on at the moment at the RCA.

A quick style frame from the animated short I'm working on at the moment at the RCA. Seems to be heading in roughly the direction I want it to.

I'm taking part in a Brainbelt exhibition in Dublin again, running at the moment in Filmbase on Curved Street. My poster is for Blancanieves, a Spanish silence black and white take on Snow White.

Brainbelt Illustration Collective have teamed up with this year’s Jameson Dublin International Film Festival to bring you a diverse range of exciting illustrations of movie posters, classic lines and movie icons.

All inspired from a hand picked selection of films from this year's festival line-up. Keep your eyes peeled, as they will be dotted around a variety of participating cinema lobbies, box offices and bars.

Pieces are limited edition prints from contributing illustrators:
Emma Rowe
Stephen McNally
Alan Dunne
Ultan Courtney
Michelle Cunningham
Gareth Teggin
Jamie Murphy
John Corrigan
Peter Dawson

See the entire collection at JDIFF HQ, Filmbase, Curved Street, Temple Bar!

Happy Saturnalia!

Continuing last year's pagan themed Christmas (Odin), this year I'm looking at Saturn / Cronos, the Titan from whom we have received this holiday. Based on the Goya painting: 

And I was testing out some photoshop animation / animated GIF stuff.

I'm a good bit happier with this one, although it's still work in progress.

Freyja's tears was a skaldic kenning for gold

Brighter?

A slightly different colour treatment

The pen and ink sketch

Not entirely happy with this one yet. Might have another stab at it later.

Freyr riding Gullinbursti, his somewhat absurd flying golden boar. It's one of the odder contraptions from the Norse myths. Only pen and ink so far, haven't had a chance to colour up.

Bit of a lazy one this week. I just find Calvin Klein ads inherently absurd.
If you don't, well, here's Fry and Laurie's take instead:

The All-father holding Gungnir, with Huginn and Muninn perched;
Yggdrasil in the distance.

Work in Progress

This one's for the ladies

The pen and ink sketch

A quick mock up, that'll likely never be finished. 

A detail. 

The pen and ink sketch. 

Calvin and Hobbes

These guys were going to be part of a larger composition that didn't happen.

An alternative colour scheme

Trying out a different style for Illustration Friday this week,
this one's dedicated to poor little Dylan Haskins, not yet a TD.

And the pen and ink sketch.

A quick drawing for Illustration Friday on the theme Reverse

The pen and ink drawing stage

as solid blocks of colour

My latest rough attempt for Illustration Friday, this time on the theme of dust.
And since that picture is so narrow, here's a zoom on the middle:

And the sketch:

Another stab at this Threadless tee-shirt malarkey, with one of the brainbelt illustrations vying to achieve tee-shirt form. It seems to be getting a bit of a thrashing, so vote and comment over at Threadless.

Rough work in progress of a rain of frogs. Hopefully I'll get to finish it at some point.
