High culture and base violence have never too enstranged in the movies, theatre, literature or history. This toasts to their marriage.

A visual short intro originally used as a placeholder for my pending porfolio. A tagger writes my logo and is hotly pursued by police.

Three Wise Monkeys

• Art Direction | VFX Creative Direction

Timed to be set to a specific song, this animation concept is a modern flip on the Three Wise Monkeys philosophy and Evolution theory.

Pixel Painter and Decorator

• Art Direction | VFX Creative Direction

The concept was inspired by a lot of old newspaper funnies but to my knowledge, it is an original one, although Benny Hill may disagree.

The Bag Lady

This comedic approach was aimed at the timing of his glances, and what explanation he could offer, rather than her fitting in that suitcase.

The client required a full feature length music video to accompany his latest single and I only had photos to work with.

Searching for the Holy Grail of animation with this Knights Templar inspired theme. It was originally the first splash page for my website.

The client requested something quirky to represent his brand of music. The solution was asking him to pose like he's playing a flute.

Love and Murder

• Art Direction | VFX Creative Direction

A band CD cover I designed, for which the client later requested be animated. The animation came out better than the cover.

AX Hearts Beats

The logo I designed for this DJ was later to be animated for his homepage. The solution was to make this Beatmaker's logo beat.

Gothica Apocrypha

• VFX Creative Direction | Post Production

This concept was to be set to an awe inspiring piece of music, that I don't have rights to; When it is played forwards, anyway.

Angels Court

This early work was one of my first forays into animated navigation. The concept was a back alley Angels Vs Demons type of confrontation.

Steal this Design

Having created a lot of artwork for bands and public figures on social networking sites, this was a response to the many that were stolen.

The solution for this brand identity came by way of a industrial chrome type manipulated to reflect automatronic attributes.

Bones to Pick
