Poutine




A photo shoot with this delightful pup, now residing in Vancouver with Jacqui.

Judy





Lady Judy. About as small as the top of my thumb. With LP. This was made the morning after myself and my little sister stayed up till 0500 making badges.

After Nate Wragg put up a work-in-progress on one of his illustrations I thought I might as well do something similar:

BADGES!!

Then I finally got her to go to bed.

This Regal looking Lady belongs to LP now. I've been trying out some fabric sample swatches. I like the way it turns out so far.

I revisited an earlier design and, along with needle work by LP, threw in some fabric and the like. In Fairview now.

Animation Workshops in the IFI on the 30th Dec

Hi all!
After the success of Christian's workshop earlier on this year I was asked to return and facilitate another children's animation workshops in the Irish Film Institute in Templebar.
I showed the class how to make thaumatropes, a camera-less form of animation.






I also brought along an example of a flipbook and some of my professional work, which helped to get the children thinking about what else they could do with the medium.

Some more workshops are in the works at the moment, I will keep you posted!!

Recent Work-in-Progress shots


Here are some bits and pieces I've been putting together for markets recently along with a deadly bit of flower and raindrop embroidery by Lisa P.
I've been putting up similar work in progress shots on my Tumblr the past few months.
I'm currently occupied with a development gig, so forgive me if they posts are lagging these days.
