So here's the plan

So as you may have noticed I've been absent from the blog for quite a while and the posts I have made have been sporadic at best. It's funny, when I started the blog back in 2007 the idea was to have a journal of sorts that would document the journey of exploring new artistic frontiers. And for the next few years that is what it was, and I got very attached to this blog (although I have a bad habit of deleting old posts which I really should stop doing). But as I started to gain traction in this new area and I was doing more and more commercial work, my personal work slowed down almost to the point of non existence which is where I am now. I'm not sure there is anything wrong with this, I work creatively at work for 40-50 hours a week which more than satisfies my creative tendencies but in turn this blog has become my equivalent to a myspace account, which is just sad.
The last couple of years, but especially the last few months have without a doubt been some of the most creative and challenging times of my life and yet I'm not in a position to share any of it which is a shame because there's a whole lot of work I'm really proud of. What I do want to try and do is write more, maybe share things that I find interesting and maybe share a thought or two.
There are a couple of things I can share though, back in November I was given the opportunity to create and develop an idea for a film from the ground up. The concept is completely my idea and I've been doing everything from writing the premise, doing the character development and getting the artistic concept together with a view to pitching the concept and taking it to the next level. It's pretty rare for a studio to give you carte blanche to jump down the rabbit hole and see what you come up with but I really believe this could be a great thing and so far the people I have shared it with seem to agree. Hopefully something great will come of this but whatever happens it's been an incredible experience.
So as I said, hopefully there'll be a little more action round here in one form or another, there's a lot of interests I have which are outside of what I usually post on here and the plan is to share more of that stuff as well.
Till next time, Cheers

Well 2012 has been one of the busiest and most rewarding years of my life. The only down side being not enough time to work on my own stuff. Anyhow here's a piece done over the break. Happy New Year Everyone.

Mila Film

So here's a color key I did early last year for "Mila" the short film I'm Art Directing. There's a nice article on Mila and it's Creator/Director Cinzia Angelini over at Characters Engage.com. As you can see from the article we're still looking help. So if your interested you can contact Cinzia directly at Milafilm.com. Please help spread the word! Thanks

So little time to work on my own stuff lately. Anyhow here's a quickish sketch exploring some ideas. Couldn't figure out which version I preferred so figured I'd post all three, although I guess it does also show the progress of the piece.
