My Favourite Family

Finalised a series of characters for the 'My Favourite Family', Here is few of characters, An excercise that was made a lot faster thanks for Adobe Illustrators 'width' tool, Which in most cases makes it much easier to have line vary in width. Not sure if they will be available in Oz, But be sure to keep an eye out for them if travelling through Europe.

Ollie Ollie Ollie..

I have had the pleasure of recently exploring my passion for character design and cartoons. I have just finalised the artwork for 'Ollie the Octopus' a kid friendly mascot for swim centres in the City of Kingston. Pretty sure I hit the brief to create a character that will appeal to children. I showed him to my own children for critique and chose to ignore Mia's request for him to be more 'pink' and more of a 'mermaid'.. Hopefully the little tadpoles will not flee in fear from Ollie, he only wants to make friends and swim (but not right after eating cake)!..  These a couple of the poses created which will be used on signage, posters invitations etc. Also looking forward to seeing Ollie made into a costume soon.

New website for 'edutue'

Monday Knights Vector

Originally this was just designed as a cartoon for the front page of the old yahoo groups page, however it has evolved into being used as a logo on membership cards and T-Shirts. Seems the time to turn the now infamous pic into a usable logo as the 'Knights' press towards world domination. Spent a few late nights converting the old 'Monday Knights' into a WW2 bomber nose cone art style patch.

Tony Robinson Explores Australia

Recently finalised 13 illustrations for use in the upcoming History Channel documentary "Tony Robinson Explores Australia". http://wtfn.com.au/productions/tony_robinson.html. There was a requirement to deliver a unique stylised product while still being mindful of historical accuracy and style. Each convict, tent, rock, ship is made up of 5 individual photoshop layers to enable the production team to edit and animate the scenes into 3d photographs.
Some of the briefs have been thoroughly eye opening, and as with other Tony Robinson shows, promises to deliver a unique take on Australian history.
