A Collection Is Taking Shape

Here is a compilation of paintings that will be included in my debut exhibition of recycled plastic artworks. Rather than showcasing these pieces in a traditional art gallery, I hope to find a company involved in recycling and exhibit the works in their lobby or boardroom. Once I have these artworks framed, which I aim to accomplish by the end of the year, I will begin searching for appropriate venues. I would also like to collaborate with a gluten-free catering company to showcase their offerings. It would be great to make this a memorable and special event..

I Think Flies Would Flip

So as I said previously I am keen to do an animated flip book. I like the idea of something flying so I went back to my folio and found some cool fly characters I did for coffee mugs and T-shirts. I reckon they would be fun characters to animate in a simple flipper. either flying around stupidly or getting sprayed and getting sick. I'll play around for a bit and see what works.




Inspired By Animation Again

Recently I have been seeking out videos by flipbook artists. I am thinking of creating some of my own. I trained as an animator at Disney in my 20's and have worked on lots of animated TV shows throughout my life. But now I just want to investigate the artistic possibilities of flipbooks. my favorite works are by the Flippest and Andymation.




But I am really enjoying the work of Juan Fontanive
