New show reel

Rajesh Finesse

This is another concept with nowhere to go. Rajesh Finesse was invented by me and Martin as a response to the lack of Middle-Eastern adventurers around these days. Back in the 20s you couldn't move without tripping over a heroic desert-man but these days all they're allowed to do in films is get shot.


Rajesh Finesse is a daring Arabian prince with a flying tiger-skin rug and an appetite for virgin priestess vagina. He crosses the sand dunes with his colonial manservant, Alabaster Strong (pictured above), seeking out ancient treasures and mysteries and probably genies and stuff. He's also a massive asshole.

Peace Starts With Me - concept art

Having a proper blog is nice because I can stick stuff here that I made a while ago and then forgot about. Like these:



You can see the finished film here.

Bottoms Up


These are some sketches I drew for Bottoms Up, an exhibition based around the idea of surviving the effects of climate change. I think it's being turned into a short film too.

You can look at the final images I made here.

The Tumblin' Dice










These guys are part of a gang in Dead Beat. They're all named after dice rolls in Craps.

Arbitrarily naming characters after cool stuff is the best.

Dead Beat

Dead Beat is a comic I wrote with Martin Woolley about a dead detective investigating the death of his dead girlfriend. It's on hold at the moment until some older projects get finished but here's a couple of test pages I made to try and figure out how the hell you put a comic together.

Ignore the nasty fonts. The text won't look like that in the proper comic.

Thugs and Racists (and probably rapists)

These guys are extras for the bar fight in the first episode of Buck and Rick. It takes place in the most disgusting, violent and racist bar in the world.












Fantom and The Hands


Fantom and the Hands were conceived when me and Martin were trying to work out how short it's possible to make a murder mystery without it being rubbish. They are turn-of-the-century magicians who moonlight as detectives. Gabriel Fantom is a diminutive, womanising escape artist and The Hands is a blind, European sleight-of-hand expert.

It turns out that a murder mystery needs to be at least 20 minutes. I don't intend to make a solid 20 minutes of animation any time soon.

Celebrities


Business Animals

 

Slick 1960s animal men.

Catastropher Robins


If I ever get to make a kids' show it's going to look like this.

Knights


Suits of armour.

Superworld Characters




These are some characters for a comic that we had to give up on making because it was way too complicated. Hopefully I can go back to it some time in the future.

This is a new blog

I got sick of tumblr so now I'm using this.
