Gumball picks Up An Annie
Thanks goodness Gumball is doing so incredibly well on the Awards circuit or this blog would fall flat on its face(bar Ryans awesome pictures of course!)
Saturday night The Amazing World of Gumball picked up An Annie for Best Animation Production. Congradulations again to the creator Ben Broquelet, Mic Graves and the rest of The Dandelion Crew and Studio Soi....
But an even bigger congradulations to the wonderful, the amazing BOULDERMEDIA who did all the 2D and 3D animation on the show.
Next up is the IFTAS on Saturday night so fingers crossed for this one....some of us from Boulder will be gracing the red carpet for this one...so I'll post some pictures next week.

Christmas 2011
What a year it has been...busy is an understatement. This goes down in the records for the worst year for posting ever but a really good year for Boulder. 2012 is going to be pretty busy too by the looks of things. Which I am not complaining about by no means but maybe I can manage my time better so as to keep myself doing at least a doodle a month for the blog. Amonst other creative things I have been working on and slowly but surely hope to share early in the New Year.

Happy Christmas to everybody who stops by and I look forward to what the New Year has to hold.
I have so much up me sleeve....

Is there anybody out there ?!?!
Hello...hello...hello......hello
Is there anybody still out there?!?
Well, I wouldn't be suprised if there wasn't after the absence of posts over the last 3 months or longer. So I am going to try incredibly hard to post more artwork and in the meantime distract you with some megga cute pictures I took of my best pal Ben. Isn't he too cute :)
Why the absence? Well Boulder finished up on Gumball and has been preparing for a new "Big Project" that will be starting very soon. All very exciting with alot of new staff starting in the next few months and a newly renovated studio. All very exciting indeed. Time just seems to be passing too quickly and mulitasking has become a bit of a talent for quite a few of us here!
So hope to post something soon and keep up with more regular artwork. I always said I wouldn't let the blog go...and I ment it.

Belated Paddy's Day Greeting
Just a little belated Paddy's Day picture(don't have the net at home to post things, living in a cave I am). Not very Paddy's day themed but you do get bored looking at the stereotypical red haired drunkards, holding a pint of Guinness dancing about with a leprechauns hat on.
Happy Paddy's Day Yesterday!

It's a Wrap
It is well overdue I know but here's a quick update on "The Amazing World of Gumball". On the 15th January at 5pm Bouldermedia finished work on the first series of Gumball, for Cartoon Network. I would like to say a big gigantic NICE ONE to all of the people especially at Boulder who worked their asses off to get this show completed. When I said before the show looks amazing....it's seriously looks amazing. I can't wait for the airing to see how it is received, very exciting stuff. I have been lucky enough to have seen the final fully finished episodes one by one and each one gets better and better. That's all I can really say about that. So sit tight (till September, I am told) and look forward to "The Amazing World of Gumball".
Here is an article that was writen on the Animation Ireland website about the show if your interested.

Oh No!
I had promised myself I would post more and more this year and sure would you look, not a dicky bird or not a "yellow bird" as the case may be at all since last year...disgraceful carry on. I have lots of excuses but whats the point in wafflin on about them, it still doesn't change the fact there is no new art here!!!
So instead I am going to tell you, visitor, about this...
Last year I decided to do a little bit of good for some animals and became a volunteer at the Dogs Trust rehoming centre. They are a great bunch of people, who work very hard to make better lives for all the dogs that walk through their doors and let me tell you it is far more dogs then people would believe. Some of the dogs have been very badly mistreated, abandoned or have lost their owners through old age etc. The Dogs Trust tries to rehome as many dogs as they can possibly squeeze in to good loving new homes. It is a very tough but a rewarding job. I thought I would just mention them and all the good work they do. So if you know anyone looking for a new dog, maybe try the nearest animal shelter/dog pound and give these guys a second chance. Here is just one of the fellas Dogs Trust have up for rehoming at the moment and if I could, I would take him myself in a heartbeat. Luah is a 4 month old Bull Terrier and probably one of the cutest Bull Terriers I have ever seen.
So there you go, until next time....with some drawings and maybe, just maybe, a sneek peek at a new little project I have up my sleeve.

Boulder V's Brown Bag


Unfortunatly, Brown Bag took home the trophy, with a score of 4-2 but Boulder put up one hell of a fight. With Brendan scoring a super goal in the last few seconds for Boulder. So it was out in town for beers and dancin afterwards. Everybody had such a great time :)
Bring on the next challenge!
Thanks to Allan White, Ste O' Connor and Estrela Lourenco for the photos I stole!!!

Happy 10th Birthday

I am pretty sure it is not exactly on the date but near enough, for the 10 year celebrations of Bouldermedia Animation Studios....Yeahy....whissly, whistle!!! I have been with Boulder 9 of those 10 years and jaysus how time flys. We have a handful of the original crew left Boss Rob Cullen, Paul O'Flanagan, Dave O'Sullivan and Stephen McGann and a good few very talented newbies and not so newbies. Here's to another 10 productive, creative and hair greying years!!!
To think I couldn't even use a computer when I started, Yikes!
We have moved to 6 different offices, travelled to the Emmys in L.A, numerous babies have been born, about a half dozen marraiges and a band was born all in my time here at Boulder. Not to mention all the AMAZING shows we have worked on. Well done Boulder.
and here is some of the crew, hahaha, yiz thought yiz were getting away with it...
