Poison Ivy sketch

2011-05-14T17:45:00.002Z

Here's a drawing of Poison Ivy from the Batman universe. I intend to paint this up, once I find the time!

Gumball first look

2011-03-10T16:25:00.002Z

Well here's your first look at the last show I worked on, The Amazing World of Gumball. Things have been kept pretty hush-hush on the show, but now the first clip is free to see. It's a mix of 2D, 3D and live-action and should be on your televisual box soon.

Trying to use Photoshop properly!

2011-03-04T12:57:00.001Z

So this started out as a sketch. I decided to paint it up in Photoshop as it's a program I really under use, and should know better. But I have very little patience for painting as I always sucked at it. This took me about a day to paint up. And surprisingly, I managed to do it without kicking a hole in the wall or flinging my monitor out the window!

Pages from my notebooks... Part VI

2011-02-15T14:07:00.002Z

And what the hey, a few more...

Pages from my notebooks... Part V

2011-02-15T13:57:00.007Z

Thought I'd throw up some more sketch-book pages.

Drive-In

2011-02-11T12:01:00.002Z

After the diner, I thought I'd continue the Americana theme and draw up the other great 60's stalwhart, the Drive-In. This one's been abandoned for some time, though, and has fallen into disrepair.

And now for something completely different.

2011-02-11T11:52:00.002Z

The Royal Society of Arts, modelled on the Royal Dublin Society (yes, that RDS) host a series of lectures which are really quite interesting. They also illustrate some of the lectures and it adds this whole new level to them. Below is one on 21st Century Enlightenment. A really interesting talk on who we are and where we aspire to be. Even if you're not interested in the message, the illustration is beautiful, and well worth checking out.

Diner

2011-02-09T10:04:00.005Z

It's been a while... well, about 8 years, since I drew a background. So I figured I'd give it a stab, just for the craic. Had no intention of tying it to the last drawing I posted, the waitress. But about half-way through, I noticed they tied together! Serendipidous!

Just something I threw together for something to do.

The Amazing World of Gumball

2011-01-30T12:48:00.004Z

This is a promo shot from the last big project I worked on, The Amazing World of Gumball. This project marked something of a departure from the last few years of work, as I took my first steps into the world of 3D animation. And the extra dimension sure did cause a bit of confusion in the early days! But I really enjoyed the work, and the show looks great. Really great. It'll be here in a few months, but as of now, this is all that can be revealed!

New Vimeo Page

2011-01-24T19:57:00.001Z

Well, I've resurrected my Vimeo page for 2011. It's got some of the stuff I've posted on my youtube page already. Should have some new stuff coming very soon too. Anyway, linkage-

Pages from my notebooks...

2010-04-26T20:33:00.004Z

Decided as I haven't updated this thing in 13 months, I'd bombard it with images tonight. Nothing spectacular! Just some sketches and drawings from some of my notebooks. These go from about 3 years ago, right up to today.

Wedding Invitations

2009-03-09T23:43:00.001Z

Done for two friends of mine getting married in October. Done with Photoshop and Flash.

And an animated logo

2008-12-04T00:50:00.002Z

While I'm at it...

Logos

2008-12-04T00:44:00.004Z

While I'm at it, may as well post some of the logos I've worked on over the last few months. Some more successful than others, but still, another string to the bow! Dunno why the HAPM one is coming up shades of orange. It's meant to be blue! I'll fix at a later date.

Lara and Shane

2008-12-04T00:37:00.001Z

A friend of mine is making a book for her boyfriend for Christmas. She asked for a cartoon of herself and himself wearing crowns, backpacks and magnets on their feet...? I don't ask, I just obey the brief. And here it is!

Animation Showreel Lite

2008-11-06T12:12:00.002Z

Here's the lite version of my showreel. Pared-down, cleaned up and streamlined. Because the other one was a little heavy...

Solar System

2008-10-15T12:56:00.002Z

An expansion on the original Earth idea. Obviously it's not the complete Solar System. Only Neptune, Jupiter, Mars and Earth. But you get the general idea. Used CC Sphere, fractal noise, Trapcode Particular, CC Particle and other bits and bobs. Doesn't look great here, but in High def.... slightly better....

Earth Rotation

2008-10-01T08:26:00.001Z

Something I whipped up in After Effects the other night. It uses CC Sphere, fractal noise and some other little tweaks and effects. Quite a spiffy result considering I just used a regular old map of the earth! Good old Video Copilot and it's array of wonderful tuts!

After Effects test

2008-09-16T10:18:00.006Z

Been messing about with my favorite new program of all time, Adobe After Effects. Just arse-boxing around with Particle World, and following tutorials from the wonderful site, Video Copilot. Took a photo of a courtyard at the back of the Boulder Media building and applied some effects to it. God, how I love After Effects.

I'm on the nets!

2008-08-12T12:16:00.002Z

My website's finally up and running. It's not much, just a portfolio, really. But it's a beginning, and shall be redesigned, reimagined and reposted in the future. For now though...

In progress...

The Bear And The Boy

2008-07-16T17:48:00.002Z

Completed in 2003, this is an animated short I created as part of my final year in college. The backgrounds are kinda weak and the animation is... dodgy, but it's a complete film! It'd be a whole lot different if I'd known then what I know now!

...And my actual showreel

2008-07-11T14:57:00.003Z

My showreel, containing animation from college and my first 4 years in the industry. Includes work from Cartoon Network's Forster's Home For Imaginary Friends, and Nickelodeon's El Tigre. Music by The Go! Team.

Showreel Titles

2008-07-10T20:47:00.001Z

The end titles for my showreel. Created them using Adobe After Effects, a wonderful program I've been getting my head around recently. It really is a great program! For tutorials, check out Video Copilot.

Robot Bear expanded

2008-01-15T15:24:00.000Z

Here's another quick sketch I did. Based on the robot design I did before, but a little less cartoony... for a robot bear!

Batman

2008-01-15T09:49:00.000Z

Something I was messing about with t'other day. Mignola-inspired (thanks Jamie) Batman

Christmas Ad

2007-12-19T09:49:00.000Z

Let me explain... every year, my clan gathers for a battle royale between the five families. This year, part of the competition was to produce an ad for mince meat using any medium we like. This, is my effort.

Lidia & Sam

2007-09-27T22:28:00.000Z

Just a quick drawing I did in flash of my godson, Sam and his mommy, Lidia!

Boulder Blog entry #4- The Thinker

2007-09-06T08:50:00.000Z

This is my uncolored entry for the latest Boulder Blog theme- Scangers. Scangers, for those of you who don't know what they are, are a subculture of charming young folk in Dublin. They can be recognised by their thin, whispy facial hair, blood-shot, half closed eyes and pale complexion. They are typically adorned in tribal colors of Celtic jerseys and baseball caps perched at a 45 degree angle, covering approx. half of their beached hair. Known for their valuable contribution to society, small groups of scangers can be seen wandering the streets with cans of Dutch Gold in their hands, pointing out the quirks and foibles of any passer by. When travelling in larger packs, scangers are known to have a sudden surge of patriotic pride, a pride that paradoxically results in the destruction of the country the 'love' so well.

Samuel L. Wright

2007-08-19T20:45:00.001Z

This be my god sonny, Sam. Born on the 9th August this year, he came into the world an 11lb 11oz little monster! This be a little sketch I did of him the other day. Head's a little long compared to how it actually is, but for better or worse, this is him!

MASCOT PREP (2007)

2007-08-10T09:50:00.000Z

Here's another short we worked on for the Disney Shorty McShort's Shorts program. This one, entitled Mascot Prep was completed in April... or was it May....?

REM @ The Olympia 2007 # 2

2007-07-03T20:55:00.000Z

Some more photos!

REM @ The Olympia 2007

2007-07-03T20:52:00.000Z

REM performed over 5 nights this week as a sort of performing rehearsal before recording their new album here in Dublin. I was one of the lucky... thousands to get a ticket to one of these extraordinary, intimate shows in Dublin's Olympia Theatre. Here are some of the photos I got of Michael, Mike and Peter rocking out to give us one of the greatest live experiences I've ever been at.

Boulder Blog entry #3- HAL 9000

2007-06-28T22:54:00.000Z

I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.

Here's my entry for the third of the Boulder Blog themes, 'Favorite Film Scenes.' 2001: A Space Odyssey is my favorite movie, so here's HAL, the homicidal computer, made through Macromedia Flash. Just something I did to see how close I could get it to the actual HAL.

Robot bear

2007-06-26T09:02:00.000Z

Here's a character I've been messing about with for a while now. It's for a short I've been mulling over about a couple of animals who escape from a laboratory. The rest, I'm keeping to myself for now!

Boulder Blog entry #2- John McClane

2007-05-15T20:49:00.000Z

So here's my final entry for the latest Boulder Blog theme- Summer Blockbusters. John McClane from Die Hard 4*

*Actual film may suck balls.

McClaine Inked...

2007-05-13T22:02:00.000Z

... so to speak.

Boulder Blog entry #2 - John McClaine

2007-05-11T13:12:00.000Z

Well, the next theme for the Boulder Blog is up, and this time it's summer blockbusters. Since Live Free or Die Hard (which looks appalling, by the way, see CRITICAL MASS! for more info) is out this summer, I thought I'd do the bane of the Gruber family, John McClaine. Color version to follow...

TROY RIDE (2007)

2007-05-10T19:44:00.000Z

This is Troy Ride, part of the Shorty McShort's Shorts series on the Disney Channel. We (as in Boulder Media, the company I work for) animated the whole thing, so enjoy!

Orangaroo final...

2007-05-08T19:38:00.000Z

Well, here's my first completed submission for the Boulder Media blog. Had a crack at painting it, and this is the final result. First ever digital painting I've ever done.

Orangaroo in progress...

2007-04-26T21:08:00.000Z

This is a work in progress. Never painted in Photoshop before, so I'm just experimenting, really. HELLUVA lot better than if I was using an old paintbrush and paint though!

Boulder Blog entry #1 - The Orangaroo

2007-04-24T23:28:00.000Z

The Oragaroo... half orangutan, half kangaroo. My entry for the hybrid animal thingy.

*EDIT: Here's the proper scanned version. Will try and paint 'er up next!

2007-01-05T18:47:00.000Z

Here's a little Ruskie dancer done in work. Took about 2 weeks to complete. Including rough animation, BGs and whatever little research I did! Enjoy!

EL TIGRE!

2006-11-09T15:07:00.000Z

Here's the new show we're currently working on. It's for Nickelodeon and is coming your way, 2007. This is the trailer for the show, which features some of my work. Enjoy!

*EDIT: Unfortunately the video was removed... the jerks!

Who likes short shorts?

2006-06-19T20:36:00.000Z

Here's a short script I wrote in 2002 while in Australia. Just thought I'd post it here to see what ye think. Any feedback is welcome!

A little scene

2006-01-25T09:38:00.000Z

Here's a little rough animation I'm doing for a short I'm working on myself-

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/petey2005/run.gif

Tried uploading some stuff from the show, but unfortunately this place wont accept swfs. Shall keep trying and when I get it uploaded, you'll be the first to know!

2005-10-27T20:45:00.001Z

Here are some of my life drawings from a few years back. Haven't been life drawing in a while. Guess I really should go again soon!

Day 1

2005-10-27T19:12:00.000Z

Hi, welcome to my blog. New to this whole thing, so I guess I should tell you all about me. I'm 24 and I'm an animator from Dublin, Ireland. I work for a company called Boulder Media- www.bouldermedia.tv We're currently working on Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends for Cartoon Network, but I've worked on a few shorts and a pilot for another animated show (which I'm currently not at liberty to talk about upon penalty of torture!).

I'll post some of my work here as I get the chance. Other miscellaneous rants shall be posted too. Probably to do with film and music which are two of my other passions.

At the moment I'm working my way through 'The Critic' on DVD. It's a highly underrated show. The animation in it is gorgeous, some really nice motion and character animations. The writing is fantastic too. it's a shame the show only lasted 2 seasons. But as with many great shows (*cough* Futurama) it got cancelled way before it's time. Why must the good die so young?!

Anyways, enough of my ranting for day 1. Shall post some artwork soon.
