painting again!

It'd be nice to have reason to do this. but I don't.

more pin up painty painty!

I think this might be the best thing I have ever done in photoshop... Ever!

Pin up girl.

Wanted to get a traditional painted look on a picture of a pin up girl because might doing a photoshoot in the near future.

got this pic of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and messed with it in photoshop. I think it looks alright.

Photoshop Boredom

Been playing around on photoshop and after effects a lot lately. I'm off five days a week so been getting very bored. here's some things that I made and thought were actually alright.

Made this the other day. just a few examples of the same thing. A result of playing around. Teaching myself After Effects.

Video in response to stupid rioting fools across England.

Just a little animation of my star striker on fantasy football. Made it using adobe after effects.

Well...

I went off and did an illustration like I said. It's not the most interesting or original thing in the world but it's not bad. I just wanted to prove to myself I was still able to use illustrator because it'd been so long. I'm very happy with how those tares on her shorts look because that was a bit of an experiment. The pockets look flat and lame but I don't care.

Not much happening.

Got a lot of ideas floating around in my head at the moment just dont seem to be getting them out.

Any way! Came across this and thought it was really cool and it made me want to do some illustrations because it's been a while.

After Effects

Shot this ages ago but never edited it. Been messing around with it in after effects. I think it looks alright. I'm still learning :)

The last couple of times I've been to HMV the friendly guy at the till sneakily shoved one of these in my bag along with my purchase. So I checked out his band and I actually quite like them. Look em up! here, here and here. Not here!

stop motion

really want to do some stop motion animation after watching this guys amazing videos.

New tee!

I liked that little bit of art so much that I made it into a t-shirt. And a jumper!

look!

vote for it! cheers!

Little Red

had an idea for like a kids book that was sort of red riding hood except slightly different . I'm half way through writing it and I've just done this little bit of concept art from a sketch I did t'other day.

me likey!

finished work. kinda.

I would have put this up ages ago but been having problems with blogger being a bit weird.

Anywho. this is my finished poster, montage and short film that I made for college.

RAD!!!

messing about

just a test for an idea I had

End of year show.

One of my current projects at college is to make a poster for the end of year show. This is my first idea. It's inspired by Hitchcock movie posters from the 60s and also the title sequence from "catch me if you can" by Kuntzel + Deygas which is actually also inspired by Saul Bass' titles for various Hitchcock films.

mo films

I'm making a film! It's for this mofilms thing. It's only a minute long but its going to be amazing! I had this idea ages ago to make a film about two guys dressed as race car drivers racing on foot down an ally. That was what I planned to make but with very little time I had to change my idea a little, but luckily I came across these awesome things in this little cafe/funky toyshop.

So I thought I'd just mess about with a green screen and make it look like these to racers were driving these tiny cars and then the idea just got better and better. I started to plan out how it would look in my head and I realised that in my head it was basically speed racer but really cheap. I immediately thought of "be kind rewind" and the whole idea of sweded versions of films and the possibilities of how great this could look if its done well just blew my mind. So I watched the behind the scenes stuff on speed racer and everything just came together.

YEAH!

So anyway. I've made some props and taken some pictures of how I want the finished film to look. It will look a lot better then this by the way. A lot better.
