I created this image back in 2001, when what would have been the Golden Age of my creative career. A time when I had what seemed like an unstoppable flow of creativity, but not much efficiency with the technical programs. These days it seems to be the other way round! This image of me and my house mates, based on the works of one of my favourite artists Alphose Mucha, seemed to encompass what we were doing at the time. The entire piece was created in Macromedia Flash and then exported into Adobe Photoshop where some image filters were added. For some reason, using Adobe Illustrator was far too daunting as I obviously knew how to use Flash better then.
I remember placing a lot of detail in the foreground elements (the rose in the woman’s hair for instance), as these were the first bits I drew. When the time came for me to create the background, I had obviously had enough and opted for something far simpler.

This piece encompasses the last video I created for the software company QAS. The creative process was wrapped in so much red tape, I didn’t get much say in anything apart from the visuals. In my opinion the content is rather long winded and fails in keeping attention for very long. A classic result of non creatives being involved in the creative process, Certainly not one of my best pieces.

One saving grace is that I got to use 3DS Max a little more in the production process, as well as try out new techniques. I opted to create the characters without arms or legs as this made it easier for me to animate them. The video narrated by an employee of QAS.

Like a thief in the night

Here’s an image I created a while ago for no particular reason other than the fact that like the ‘distressed old advert’ look and wanted to put together something that encapsulated this. It was meant to be one of a series of 2 or 3 but the others never materialized. I also incorporated a phrase an old friend of mine told me once. I think it’s quite true – don’t you?
