Influences on this quickie? Take a wild guess...


Some frames for Smithwicks beer. Again - the idea was that we followed an errant beer barrel as, followed by a sheepdog it bucketed through the countryside and went through history.


An idea where the camera was supposed to be a part of the crowd as it followed armies, explorers, pilgrims and the like through the ages and on into the shining future. There were originally about 20 frames on this but these were all I could recover.


Think we can get Yoda to do an ad for Curry's?? Of course we can...


Some boards and concepts done for what was the then-new Smiler ride at Thorpe Park. It was a lot of fun to do as the ideas for the ads were quite edgy and unnerving!






A little board done for a small-scale student film. They only had the camera equipment for one night so it was vital all the shots were down on paper before they started. Film turned out nicely too!


This very loose board was for a charity that cared for and rehabilitated abused dogs. As a dog-lover, obviously very close to my heart but still actually quite harrowing to draw. Quite how anyone can ever do harm to these poor creatures I'll never know.


And here are a few colour pieces just to make things a little more visually varied! Hope you enjoy them.






Three fun little boards for Kenco, Samsung and Rimmel respectively - all pretty loose and with the Samsung one done in a particularly comic-book style.




Some fun visuals culled from the files. Everything from zombies in the Grand Union Canal to drug-mule girl scouts.





Here's a few more storyboard samples, folks...

After some considerable time away from this blog, and as an interim measure while I set up a more comprehensive website, here are a few extra samples of my work for those who have proved intrigued enough to pop in.




Many thanks!
