Hello, I hope you have a Happy Easter and a great bank holiday weekend! I made this little festive looping GIF for the occasion. It’s been a while since my last newsletter so I have a few new projects to share. I produced a series of animations for the World Economic Forum. The BBC illustrations […]
For a third year running, I’ve taken part in Inktober. Inktober is a month long creative challenge where artists all over the world create an ink drawing everyday during October. The drawings are shared on social media using hashtags. The challenge is a way to practice your craft, to make time everyday to do personal artwork and […]

Last night I was watching my other half play Diablo 3 and admiring the cut scene animation. Specifically the amazingly detailed, static illustrations with some depth, camera movement and effects. It’s such an awesome story telling technique. I’ve seen this style before but didn’t now what it was called. Fortunately my other half, Callum, knows […]
