Hello - I forgot Tumblr exists

I haven’t done much in the meantime, though. Here’s some stuff anyway. Louise got an iPad so I’ve been messing with ProCreate a bit. Some native Irish trees, and some other random images

1st trailer of “The Breadwinner” animated feature film directed by Nora Twomey at Cartoon Saloon studio (Song of the Sea, Secret of Kells).

Teaser trailer! I’m so glad it’s time to start showing what we’ve been working on all this time :)

Three postcards I painted for an anonymous art show called Incognito, to raise funds for The Jack&Jill Childrens Foundation.

Every piece sold, and much quicker than they were expecting, so it went pretty well :)

Hello. For want of anything else to post (still busy with The Breadwinner but it’s getting close), here are some quick, little doodles I do when there’s a minute.

yeah! We own this. Up yours, everybody.

To make up for me insulting you, you should check out Rikke’s blog for more lovely stuff.

Hello Tumblr :)

I haven’t logged in for months (there’s a lot more ads than I remember) because I’ve been so crazily busy. There was one painting for the Animation Art Show and some Inktober stuff over on my Instagram, but I did say... 

Anyway, when I finished on Song of the Sea, I made this for Tomm. I’m not finished on Breadwinner yet, but after hitting a big milestone recently (and with the weather getting wintry) I made this for Nora. It took ages and it was the most difficult thing I’ve made yet... which is kind of annoying because it looks so simple, but the precision involved was beyond my skill level so it really dragged me up.

The design will make more sense when you’ve seen the film.

This is why my blog's been getting a bit dusty. I've been a busy bee working as an art director and background supervisor on this thing.

Ellie the Ace in Record Time!

Here’s a short comic I made last year as part of the development and promotional materials for Ellie the Ace. It was a useful exercise, I learnt a lot about the characters and how I want them to interact. And of course I got to make another little comic!
