This was submitted to the British Animation Awards sting competition. I have yet to hear whether it's been shortlisted.

Farmer Alan

This is the first stage of the character design for a new short animation. I am building the character up in shapes in Illustrator and will eventually take him in to ol' Flash. Before that though I will make a storyboard with the Illustrator shapes in order to see what if his bod can meet the demands of the action.

Showreel Nouveau

I think it's short but sweet; see what you think.

Introductory instructional illustrations for Pucket

These pics are to go with instructions for people who have picked up a Pucket board for the first time and don't know their Harpist from their Garner. The drawings show the various techniques for play as well as how to use the tension peg which, if you don't know, is damned tricky.
