Woo!

Really enjoying my time here at Aardman! :)

Draw North West

The delightful people of Draw North West asked me to do this months meetup poster. I rehashed an older drawing that I still liked which was just collecting dust. I’m happy I finally got to use her for something.
Check out Draw North West’s Facebook page and if you’re around Manchester on the 30th July, pop along! We’re a lovely bunch. http://www.facebook.com/groups/176239299102974/

3D Print Cup

Here is a sneak peek of my entry to cartridgesave's competition. It's still very much a work in progress, but you get the gist.

Fingers crossed I win a 3D printer!!! I doubt it though, I know quite a lot of the peeps that have entered and they are miles better at CG than I am. It's still fun all the same.

Cup O' Doodle 3

Well, I managed to squeeze a beatnik into one of these doodles. Surprising thing is, it's a dog! I hardly ever draw animals so this was a bit of an experiment. No reference was used, so he's probably all over the place too. It was still fun to do though.

Cup O' Doodle 2

I have a feeling I'm going to become very addicted this blog. I wonder how many flappers and beatniks I'll be able to squeeze in to these doodles.
