These started out as doodles, a way to pass the time on boring train journeys, but slowly their taking on a life of their own. They have become a series of hand made plush toys and paper toys. And to add to their misfortune they are named after people with unusual deaths. Life’s not fair now is it?

As time goes on I’m slowly adding to my collection of zombie characters, so keep a look out.

This project started out as web based animation for the Launch lab advertising campaign. But unfortunately the project changed direction and now it’s a personal project.

The illustrations below are examples of some of the elements created for the animation, as well as some of the ‘test’ movies created in after effects.

This also focused on the ever blurring forms of the ‘real’ and a ‘hyper real’ and it’s effects. The over all aim of the project was to act as a prototype for a future project were gallery goers would be able to upload video clips via mobile phone to create more personal interactive experience.

The project brief for this was to create a storyboard for ‘Dodge this’ as both a working storyboard but also to illustrative piece. The final storyboards were designed to mimic a comic book in both it’s layout and colouring. These were later printed on both A3 transparency and matte paper and used in the final show.

The Image of a lost soul is a short moralistic tale by turn of the century writer Saki, otherwise known as Hector Hugh Munro.

The aim of the brief was to create six illustrations following the events in Saki’s tale. For this particular project influences of victorian keep sake imagery, art nouveau and even manga were drawn upon.

A little random note. If you look carefully in the last three images you’ll notice a butterfly caught in a web. Seems kind of fitting, considering how sad the tale becomes towards the end.
