Available for Work in Toronto!

I'm excited to say that I'll be moving back to my home town and will be starting my job hunt there in mid November 2015!

I'll be primarily looking for a Production Coordinator position, since I feel like most studios lack a creative insight in their Production Department and I'm willing to help out any way possible. I'll also be open to any animation or illustrator work while I'm in Toronto.

Time to brace the cold as moving day is only 2 weeks away! 

Getting Back Into It!

I can't believe it's been over a since I've made a post! 

Just a quick update!

Since moving to the UK, I've been work at a stop motion animation studio in the greater Manchester area called Factory Studios as production coordinator. It's been really nice learning and working in a stop motion environment. Also it's nice to see and be apart of a company that has expanded so fast, it's gone from 2 studio units to having 4 units, in the span of 6 months . I've been lucky enough to work and get credited on a few of their productions, so I'm one of the rare people at Factory that works across all productions! 

 

Just a recap, I have work on movies and series I've worked on...

First Post for 2014!

Happy New Year!!

Finally got settled in Manchester! The job hunt will be starting soon! Just finishing up some designs for new business cards for a new year. I'll be posting them up once they get back from the printers.

For my first post for 2014, I decided to continue my Season Series with an illustration for winter.

Season Series: Winter 2013-2014

I'll be doing a massive catch up drawing session next week on my Doodles Blog to finish some sketches and ideas I wanted to post up before the new year, so you might see some Christmas theme illustrations.
