L.A.

Soooo, I recently moved from Ireland to California to start an exciting new job. I thought I would try and keep a sort of comic diary of the experience. This is a bit of an experiment, and my first attempt at a comic strip in a loooong time, so we'll see how it goes!



I've also set this up on tumbler too, had to get on there eventually I guess!

Animation Art Show

It's time again for the Animation Art Show here in Dublin. The auction was a great success last year and raised lots of money for a great cause. The money raised this year will be going to Lauralynn House and The Jack and Jill Children's Foundation. Below is my submission for this years auction. It's a 12" x 12" acrylic piece. It's not too late to submit a piece (but the deadline is fast approaching (19th October)) and if you happen to be in Dublin on November 3rd why not pop down to the Science Gallery and try get your mitts on a great piece of art whilst also donating to a great cause!

Bones

Here's a new video I animated for the folks at JibJab. It's the first in a series about the human body.
Beware, it has a very catchy song!!

Behind the scenes!

I thought I'd post a little "making-of" video for those that might be interested, giving a little insight into the production process behind my animation. This is from an animation I did a while ago but it's still one of my favourites (and luckily one that I had saved enough different versions of to demonstate the different stages)

Have a wee watch, with your eyes preferably, and any questions or comments are always welcome!

New JibJab eCard

This is actually a re-use of some old animation I did a while ago, the JibJab guys just mixed it up a bit with some new audio. It's pretty funny, if I do say so myself.



Here's a super serious blog interview I did for them as well.

Flapjack!


I felt I had to honour The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack with some fan art too after my Adventure Time tribute. I'd probably rank Flapjack as one of my favourite cartoons.

What time is it?


Some fan art for a change, from the brillant Adventure Time, mathematical!

Storybots

Last year I worked with the folks over in JibJab on a little music video for kids. Storybots is their new multi-platform children's project and they decided to animate a video for each letter of the alphabet. I tackled the letter Y and you can check it out below and also catch up on all the other great videos on their site or on Youtube. Go on, sure Y wouldn't you!?
