Grenadine and Mentalo

Hey everyone, so at the moment im inbetween projects here in Luxembourg. Looking forward to starting work as a character animator in July!  Will be a scary change from FX work but I plan to keep up personal FX animation in my own time. 

At the moment im working on improving my drawing skills, i've been reading Force: Dynamic life drawing for animators, which is a brilliant book, really great! Im also working on some FX stuff for a project with a friend of mine Laurent Rossi. Please check out his blog!

and lastly this is a teaser for the series I just finished working on as an FX animator, I was pretty much the only FX guy on the series and it was a hard journey but I learnt so much and got to animate so many cool things that i've never tried before. Looking forward to seeing it on TV soon.

Hey hey hey....

Hey everyone, I've recently finished work in my FX animator job here in Luxembourg. Its been a wicked experience and i've learnt loads about TV animation and animating FX. I'm currently working on a showreel/portfolio update that I will hopefully be able to get up online at some point in the future. I've set up some new links on my blog to other sites of mine too.

On another note, Everyone must check out the work of Chris Graf. His work has been a massive inspiration for me, heres a recent video of his FX awesomeness!!!

Hey to the new followers! I'll have new posts up soon.
