A collection of some of my work from the incredible film 'Early Man'. I was responsible for all the pre-vis, preproduction CG and all major CG only assets, specifically modelling and texturing the football stadium which is seen throughout the film.

Hi All, Finally I'm able to release the modelling, texturing and design work i did for Chuggington Seasons 4 and 5. All modelling by me, with art direction by Matt Sanders and creative direction by Don Toht. It was a real pleasure to work on this show and a challenge also - the docks model was an extremely complex asset with millions of polys and 100's of separate pieces. Thanks for looking!

From 2009 - 2012 I was lucky enough to work at Aardman animations on their latest feature, Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. This reel is a collection of some of my modelling and texturing from the film. Thanks for looking.

Hi All, Here is a small selection of personal projects, this time focussed on characters, all done in my spare time. All work by me. Thanks for looking. A
