IHUK advert

Been busy lately creating a great new online advert for the guys at Independent Hostels UK. It has been a really interesting project and has allowed me to put over a style that I have been wanting to use for some time. The characters are loosely based around the style of Hanna-Barbara, of which I have been a big fan of for a number of years. The right project has never come along but at long last this seemed to be 'the one'.

The project is yet to be completed but should only be a week or so away, so watch this space for hopefully a finished IHUK advert.

Here are the characters in the mean time.

A Tribute to Glen Keane

There is a great tribute to Glen Keane doing the rounds at the moment and thought that I would share it with you all on my blog.

What an amazing animator he was at Disney and will always be remembered for such memorable characters such as Ariel, the Beast and Tarzan. His drawings and style were always so structured and very classical, very reminiscent of the the old renaissance artists. Powerful and well posed, he really was the something different within Disney Animation.

In directing 'Tangled' he really pushed his style of designing and animating through into the final film. His structure and animation were visible and is a sign that he was constantly improving his art and therefore pushing the boundaries of what animation could be.

I feel that in leaving Disney he will be able to push himself further and develop things that we've never seen before. Bring it on!

Character Drawings

Thought I would post up some of my character drawings from recent times so I hope you like them.
