The Squeaky Voice

Gone Gourmet

It seems like everything has gone Gourmet these days. (Try ordering a burger in a restaurant that isn’t.) But when out in a restaurant in London with friends the ‘Gourmet’ fish finger sandwich was a new one. It was duly ordered with much anticipation. When it eventually arrived the only Gourmet thing about it seemed to be that it was served on a small plank of wood.

Another doodle in TVpaint. This time an unpretentious piece with a more refined use of textures and served on a crisp white background.

Goth Creature

An informal portrait of Geoff, the keyboard player for the Cats of Desolation. (Sadly his arms weren’t long enough for him to be lead guitar)

This is a bit of an experiment in illustrating in TV Paint animation. Maybe quicker than vector Illustration software, especially where detail and texture is concerned? Only time will tell. The process is pretty enjoyable though.

Heavy lifting

Here is some Flash animation I did for some on-line advertising some time ago. It is for Hitachi Hard drives. The idea is that all operating systems can use the drives fine apart from Windows 32bit. That needs a little help. This is what I came up with.

And here are the character designs.

Some days I feel a deep kinship with windows 32.

Year of the Dragon

23rd of January 2012 – 9th February 2013 is the Year of the Dragon. If you are a Dragon this is going to be a great year for you, so get out there and raise some hell! For all the rest of us, expect some pretty spectacular barbecues.

New Year time

Here’s hoping that 2012 is kind to us all and that we get enough time to do some cool stuff just for ourselves….oh yeah, world peace would be nice and an end to all this financial nonsense would be pretty high on my list… as would a lottery win or two.

A 3 Sock Christmas

May your Christmas stockings be full to overflowing – Lots of chocolate, at least one satsuma and absolutely no coal!

Swanning around

A style set-up for a potential animation project that didn’t come off. A great shame, the world needs more radioactive swans.

Cheffy

Here is a logo I did for Little Chef Big Chef web site. An online store for kids cookery.

Sadly it has nothing at all to do with the slightly faded motorway eatery. Sadly?, well Little Chef commissioned Michelin starred Big Chef Heston Blumenthal to revamp their image and menu. Which he did – despite them. You can see the results in the documentary Big Chef takes on little chef on 4OD.

We almost ate in the pilot restaurant but missed the turning. That wasn’t very clever was it?

No Chef!

Inky Face

A self portrait of me in my comfy work gear. It’s done in pen and wash on a scrap or re-cycled printer paper.
A bit of an antidote to my usual digital work and a reminder to get in touch with my messy side. (It is also a reminder that knitted picture frames are more bother than they are worth.)

Electric Eel

Please do not poke the Eel!
