This project was created during the first term of my final year at university. Wanting to use more Blender in my work I set out to combine 2D and 3D animation as seamlessly as possible. 
It was a joy to work on, and the drumming score created by my great friend and collaborator Joshua Smith really brought it all together. 

I learned a lot from this experience, and my final university project will again merge these mediums in fun and exciting ways to create another animated short.

This was my animation debut! Exploring the boundaries of Blender, I 3D modelled some aliens, texture painted them, and printed the meshes out physically. After weeks of scoring, folding, and sticking the pieces together, they were ready to be dissected in stop-motion.

The hands in the video belong to me, but I owe the camerawork to my girlfriend, Holly Hardaker. The scores for each course were composed by my great friend William Boiling. 

Hope you’re hungry! 

I’m a Bournemouth based illustrator and animator.

I love creating eccentric artwork in a range of mediums and am always looking for new creative challenges to expand my practice and learn new skills. 

I’ve been a freelance illustrator for 5 years, and I’m proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint and Blender.
