This is me!

My main forte is the head/face modelling and especially character design. But i am also involved in the rigging, storyboarding, concept design, graphic design and compositing.

Keep checking back for updates. Scroll down for further information about myself.

I am very much a visual thinker and imagineerer of many wacky things…

I am inspired by lots of famous animators and illustrators/ artists. Classic animators and producers such as Friz Freleng of Mirisch Films Inc, to more modern animation directors like John Lasseter of Disney Pixar. As well as much recent digital concept 3D art, which seems to be a newer medium of the fine arts and is a constant subject on the forum ‘CG society’.

I mainly work on a variety of software platforms from Autodesk Maya to Nevercenter Silo 3D. As well as the video editing and compositing packages such as Premiere, Final Cut and After Effects. I use Photoshop and Gimp for the digital painting via a Wacom digital art tablet. I am on the constant lookout for new exciting developing software, which to keep up to date with and to follow the trend.
