Fred's Got Slacks WIP

So as promised, a new blog post.

This is still a work in progress but I really wanted to keep the weekly blog posts going so here's Fred, she wears slacks REALLY well! A mate of mine asked me to do an album cover for their band Fred's Got Slacks ( awesome name right? ) You can check out some of their stuff here .

It took me an AGE to get around to it but I finally am. Pretty happy with how it's going so far, when it's finished, I'll post up the final piece.


Really enjoying doing my black & whites lately so here's another!





And here's the colour in progress. More to come soon. I'm hoping to get a bit more time next week to work on some new blog stuff as well, between trying to get to the 2D Fest this weekend and clearing out work for it, it was next to impossible to do a whole lot more this week.

Anyways go enjoy the bank holiday weekend, I'll see you all next week! Laters!

Back to Blogging!

Hi folks apologies for the lack of posts there for a while but work has a way of taking up a lot of time. Here's some stuff I've done recently. Hope you dig em!

Here's Raph,




There was a TMNT week over at the Irish Sketch Society last week, I submitted this guy late in the week and some of you might remember my Leo pic from a while back? I'll actually draw the rest of the TMNT team and have a complete set over the next few weeks... ah sure what the hell I'll repost Leo here, Raph looks lonely.

Was pretty happy this week when I noticed Rob Paulsen ( the original voice or Raph, current voice of Donny and you'll know him as Pinky from Pinky and the Brain & Yakko from the Animaniacs and many many others) had actually RT'd my pic of Raph, I was delighted, I'm a big fan!

And here's another piece I knocked out this week.



It's Agent Moss from my friend Stephen Mooney's new comic Half Past Danger.  I really recommend you check it out! If you like Indiana Jones and just wished it had DINOSAURS then you're in for a treat! Check it out here and if you can't make it to your local comic shop you'll find it on comixology.

Hope you dig all the pics, I'll blog again next Friday! See you then !

Storyboards for Chloe's Closet

Yo, got the ok on posting up some of my pro work.

Big shout out to Telegael, Moonscoop, Kids Workout Factory and KIKA who own the copyright to all the images you are about to see. It was a real pleasure working on this. You'll see each studios Logo above the boards, if you're not familiar with them I recommend you check them out, they were great to work with. 

Hope you dig looking at my boards, I think this is the first time I've posted any of my pro boards on the blog. Which is kinda weird considering I've been storyboarding for about 5 years now.

In case you have never seen Chloe's Closet before here's an idea of what it's like.  The cartoon itself is about Chloe and her friends who are able to go into an imaginary world based on what costume is in her wardrobe. It's a little like Narnia meets Mr. Benn ( Remember that cartoon? )

Any ways here they are, I've displayed them in a way where you can scroll through them easily using blogger, this way you can follow the action clearly. There's about a 115 images here so i figure easiest way to view em is the best


Here's the opening of the cartooon, the kids learn how to tie their shoes

























Then the wardrobe lights up and the kids sing and find out where their imagination is going to take them today






























The kids are Gauchos ( a type of cowboy) and they go on to meet the the Lead Gaucho who owns the ranch behind them
















This passage has the whole team meeting up so they can start their Gaucho training





Chloe and Lovely Carrot ( her flying duck friend) try to round up a cow





















One of the Gauchos is worried that she wont make the cut, Chloe consoles her and tells her she'll do everything she can to help her become a Gaucho
























That's all im going to show. Again a bit thank you to Telegael, Moonscoop, Kids Workout Factory and KIKA for letting me show their copyrighted material.

Hope you all dig em, They're some of my fav boards that I've done to date.
