LITTLE RIKKE

Here are the opening title sequence and end credits for a TV show pilot I co-directed with the show creator and massively talented Rikke Asbjorn (animator on the Gorillaz videos and Monkey Opera).
It's a product of my day job at the Cartoon Network Development Studio where we're currently developing shows for TV. We produce one eleven-minute super-animatic and colour bible for each show which are then pitched to our bosses at CN worldwide.

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to show the whole animatic here but I hope you like this little taster!

A COUPLE OF SILLY-STRATIONS...

HULLO AGAIN...

More dribbling bumshine...

HULLO...

Not posted in a while. It's been crazy busy at work. Here's a swift dose of scribbly poop that's been falling out of my pen recently...

CEREAL KILLERS COVER!

Doktor Viktor Von Kreep of Kreepsville Industries kindly asked me to provide a cover for his upcoming cartoon art book CEREAL KILLERS and here's what I came up with...

Also the good Doktor interviewed me for his new CARTOON FUNLAND blog. Click on the link if you want to read my retarded waffling.

MIXED BAG OF GUFF!

The first one was for a computer magazine article about multi-tasking. The second and third were both pitches, and the last bunch of monkeys were for a kids book.

ANIMATION - MORE ROBOTBOY BGS

Trawling through the gloomy recesses of my computer's futuristic mind I stumbled upon some more BGs from Robotboy season one. Again I tip my hat to the great team of artists we had working with us.

All Robotboy images are copyright either Alphanim or Cartoon Network...

CEREAL KILLERS!

A piece I did for a project called CEREAL KILLERS, a cartoon art book being put together by Viktor Von Kreep featuring many artists from the world of animation and illustration.

CHARACTER DESIGN - YET MORE BEASTIES

The bird in the first bunch is from the little bird project, a collective design project for UNICEF.

CHARACTER DESIGN - EVEN MORE BEASTIES

The second one was for the recreate letoy competiton run by the Hidro Boys. The last one was for a pitch for Disney TV.

CHARACTER DESIGN - MORE BEASTIES

The assassin character was designed along with Dave Needham. 

CHARACTER DESIGN - VARIOUS BEASTIES

CHARACTER DESIGN - MR O

MR O character designed for ODDBINS by myself and Dave Needham.

EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS

A bunch of editorial illustrations. The first one and the last two were for Fortean Times magazine, the middle ones were for PC Format and the second one was a self promotion piece.

ANIMATION - VARIOUS

Various pitches for TV shows and ads. The first and third were for Disney TV in the U.S. and the second one was for Studio A.K.A. in London. 

(The last one could possibly be copyright to Disney TV, so I'd better say it is as the Mouse has much scarier lawyers than me.) 

ANIMATION - ROBOTBOY

Here's some backgrounds from Robotboy. I fart directed the first season, again alongside Dave Needham, for the Cartoon Network at comedy animation studio, Alphanim in Paris. 

Thanks to genuine Frenchman, Richard Depres, Baptiste, Magali and the rest of the BG team. 

Images are probably copyright to either Alphanim or Cartoon Network, not sure which...

ANIMATION - GOOD KID BAD KID

Here's a bunch of stills and backgrounds from GOOD KID BAD KID,  a Flash pilot myself and Dave Needham made for the Cartoon Network back in 2002.

EY UP!

Put the kettle on and pull your trousers up to your armpits while I parade my unshaven wares all over the internet...
