It’s been an age since I’ve been able to get to here to post. At least that’s what if feels like.

And the past year has been a whirl of moving and change.

I’m now back in Melbourne where I grew up. It’s changed a great deal, with parts of it feeling like something out of Edward Scissorhands - but that’s progress for you.

I’m teaching graphic design and 3D at the International design school in Southbank.

I’ve been doing a lot of concept work and sketching and finding some time for some lifedrawing as well which has been great after a long hiatus. The real drawback has been in getting a good internet connection - hence my lack of activity online. Seems I’ve fallen away from all my old haunts, CGTalk, Metaplace, ConceptOrg. It’s hard to stay in touch and up to date when you can’t even read your email.

But finally after months and months of isolation in the digital landscape, a burnt out computer and moving house two or three times hopefully things are finally settling down to a point where I can start getting some serious work done.

Looking forward to updating my galleries with some of my new work. Creating a couple of new websites for projects I hope to get underway and finding the time to take part in the digital society of CG once more.

I am currently at Animal logic in Sydney working on the film adaptation of Kathryn Lasky’s award winning childrens series. The Guardians of Ga’Hoole is a tale of good versus evil in a world of owls and other assorted wildlife. With a distinctly Australian twist. I wish I could show you some of the concept art as it is just amazing.

Well the trailer is out and it’s hitting cinemas now in preparation for the christmas release.
