Gameshow Grannies

There are some Grannies......

Florence

Finally, I managed to get a little piece of animation up. Surprisingly it wasn't the torture that I thought it was gonna be to upload. Boulder had a little bit of down time many, many, many, many moons ago( I would die for a bit of down time now) and the studio where allowed to do a 10/20sec piece. The brief was pretty open to whatever you wanted. I really enjoyed doing this....so em, enjoy!

Penguins,penguins,penguins......

Everywhere you look at the moment there are penguins..... So here are some more penguins! Oh,here is a joke I got off a penguin bar in work " Why did the lobster blush? Because the sea weed ". I love penguin bar jokes they are so lame they always make me laugh.

Lost in Space....

A friend of mine put a very funny description to this picture I had done so I thought I would post it up.......
Little white bear nearing his or her explosive end in the vacuum of Space. Could be an analogy of how little time we have in boring vacuous situations. Especialy for an excitable white bear. Or it could be an illustration of bears determination, their ability to hold in oxygen when any other animal, including monkeys and particularly humans would be turned inside out. This would make sense as bears are damned determined. Apparently shooting them only makes them mad, so shooting them into space would probably irritate them even more. I can see this bear pursuing it's prey (Possibly the never before documented inter-galactic fresh space salmon) to another solar system.

Thanks Bren

The Burning Man

Now, for those of you who have never heard of The Burning Man, it is a festival that happens in the Nevada desert in The Black Rock City. For one week of the year people come together to express themselves creatively through art,music and dance. It is a completly non commercial festival and the spirit there is unforgetable. I was lucky enough to have gone there twice as part of an amazing Irish crew called 'The Paddy Mirage'. Here is a photo I took my first year there in 2003. The Temple was created by a man called David Best and built in the sweltering temperatures of the desert by one of the most dedicated crews I have ever met.


Another of David Bests creations, The Party Bus. This would gladly drive you around Burning Man and if you wanted to get off you simply just slid down the slide that was attached to the side and there you go......genius. Imagine this driving down the streets of Dublin!

Justine

This is a picture I did of one of my friends Justine, who is a very talented young lady who, at the moment is climbing the corpoarte ladder all the way to the top ! This picture was hugly inspired by an artist called Kirsten Ulve check her out at www.kirstenulve.com. Her work is amazing.

All on mines own

There may be a kind of running theme through my blog for the first while that consists of oddly shaped bears or poor critters with bulbus eyes. They are all pretty simple and quick designs but I enjoy drawing them.

It's a start anyway

it might be a little hard to make out but give it your best shot !

Well Hello There....

....and welcome to my blog. I'm just getting started with this stuff so bare with me as I was not born with the 'amazing with computers' gene. It's normally a computer malfuntion once I enter the room but I'm trying, so hopefully I will have something nice to show you soon. Fingers crossed.
