360º Renderings
360º visuals, rendered in Cinema4D using and Photoshop Zoom in, zoom out and click and drag to have a look around.
C4D Animations
Cinema 4D animations using dynamics. Smaller animations for motion graphics and larger models for architectural installations. I have used the physical renderer as well as a number of different rendering plugins including Arnold, V-Ray and Thea.

Graphic Novel development
Graphic Novel I’m working on using my 3D design skills for backgrounds and drawing the characters by hand. Covid has hit the Live Events community hard, so I decided to try and develop my software skills in the time we’ve had. After re-rendering a few of my previous projects in C4D with Arnold, I needed … Read More

Fresh out the kiln – this trio of bowls, hand thrown on the pottery wheel and glazed in matt purple and blue.
Morning bathroom sample

Children’s Book Illustration
Some pages from a children’s book I illustrated recently. I modelled these simply in SketchUp and added a lot of texture in Photoshop. I draw the characters by hand on my Wacom tablet and colour them digitally too. Have a look at the 360° version of the little girl’s room here.

Purple Paper Proposals
Wallpaper samples for an upcoming project. There’s nothing like seeing a product in the flesh to match with paint samples, fabrics and other textures.
I love the smell of paint samples in the morning
Mixing metallic paints to get the right balance. The texture and the way it behaves in different light is so important to see first hand. For an upcoming Interior Design project.
Composite pots at Morley College
My first composite pot made from different parts thrown separately, allowed to dry to harden a little and then re-thrown when put back together. This means I can make bigger pots than just throwing one at a time.

Will The Moors give up its secret in time?” The idea of Idea Ping Pong is to bounce ideas around. People from different disciplines come … Read More
Spherical Panorama Sketch
Room with a view.
A spherical panorama sketch of my front room.
Production Design Visuals in Photoshop
Production Design visuals of film backgrounds for “Ithaca”, a short film about a long journey. Cut out, masked, colourised, blended, and multiplied, these images are built on photographs from the web. White and grey squares are the matt for moving images to be applied. Green screen filmed in my living room.
My Music Cloud Installation
So here’s one I thought of for a music-based cloud – wax pencil on a group of CD cases. For me, the brittle acrylic material captures the delicate nature of a physical cloud in the sky, and the use of CD cases and wax reference the music industry from two bygone ages.

Projection Mapping Experiment
Over the Christmas break, I had time to take the first steps in experimenting with projection mapping by buying a cheap projector and downloading the free VPT software. After creating a very simple animation in After Effects, I lined up the projection images with the edges of the box the projector came in. A very … Read More
Illustrator Brush Experiment
Following on from my previous experiments with an old iPad and a new stylus, here is another experiment with illustration techniques – this time
My First Mortise and Tenon
In order to replace some of the window frames in my flat, I need to know how to build new ones. The local adult education centre is running a woodworking class (amongst others) so tonight I learned how to make cut a mortise and tenon joint.
