“Tunnel Vision”.  This is one of those accidentally sweet pictures that I take no credit for whatsoever. (Hey, anyone can press the shutter button randomly!). Taken in a tunnel at Taroko Gorge, Taiwan.



“Through Misty Morning Eyes”.  I took this on an early morning walk when I came across some abandoned glasses at Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan



I had a fire up my bum once upon a time to write and illustrate a children’s book.  It was going to be about an alien that Dexter (a kid) finds and carries with him everywhere in his backpack as he tries to help him make a new spaceship (using the household iron as a shell).

Anyway as this is on my ever expanding shelf of unfinished projects, I thought I might as well post the sketches I did for it so they can at least see the light of day.




A doodle I did at the ripe age of 19 while pondering life



Some life drawing I did a while ago.




My 2009 Showreel uploaded to Vimeo.  These are projects I’ve done over the last 3 years as a 3d Graphic Artist at Virtual Spectator, and also some personal projects.

Yes, I’m do freelance work. Check out the blurb under ’My Portfolio’ on the right for my skill list and email :-D




Ommon from Ticket to Ride’s (my student reel) original character design, for the record. I ended up having to give him knees due to technical difficulties in making him walk and run.




I finally uploaded Ticket to Ride to Vimeo, I’ve been meaning to do this for years!  Some of you will already have seen it on youTube.. but I wanted it on vimeo cos vimeo has better standards.

This is my student reel made at Media Design School in Auckland 2007, with a focus on character animation. The main character is Ommon - a vertically challenged alien.

Soundtrack is Sing, Sing, Sing - Benny Goodman.
Thanks to Doug Minkler for permission to use his artwork as the posters in the subway.




A 3D texturing reel I created in under 2 weeks in Maya. By keeping the concept simple, I was able to demonstrate the skill set I was trying to show in a short amount of time.



“Consequence of Time” - an entry I made for a contest at NZCGI a while back.  The spec was to show something that clearly showed that ‘time had passed’…
My concept: “A cuckoo - sick and tired of his job of popping out every hour on the hour, popping out one final time. He’s hung by a noose, strangled with a horrible expression at the end of his platform. He’s literally sick to death of the job. It’s a consequence of him having to keep time all these years…”
I made this while a big project was on at work and I really was only able to complete the bare bones in order to get my concept across. Always meant to go back and rework it because I think it could make a powerful image.
