…pondering the secrets of the heart.


The very first appearance of TBR-1000, the philosophical android frontman for the electro-pop band The Blush Response.



…getting out and about.


Nuut on a night outin the Underground

Character concept art from my back-burner project, Nuut.

Nuut herself in action, as she heads out across the city. Walkways and roads are intermittant, at best, so just getting around town is a parkour-like exercise.



…working on his Blue Steel.

…in a dream.


Sleeper

One of my favourite subjects – giant robots – this time translated in an Asian-influenced image commissioned by my friend Rosie. The second of a little sequence of illustrations I did while living in Bristol.



…making the handover.


The Handover

The third illustration I produced for friends while living in Bristol, this one for Helen. Another mock scene for a children’s book or film – has the girl been tricked into handing over the secret vial, or is she doing the one vital thing the adults are too stubborn to do?



…raging against the machine.


Wild Boy meets the Emperor

The first illustration of the series I produced for friends while living in Bristol – this one for Sky. A scene from a strange children’s film?



…not afraid.


A random wallpaper that came out of concept designs for Module’s “Remarkable Engines” album design.



…working on engines.


Cover image for Remarkable Engines

The front cover for Module’s debut album release, Remarkable Engines. Was a very fun job, that got me through an otherwise depressing, jobless period when I first moved to Bristol.

…living underground.


Welcome to the Underground. The environment for my background project ‘Nuut’ – this is a concept scene of a typical neighbourhood. Apartments, a cafe/venue, and a bottomless pit. Like an early 20th century Paris, where everything is made of metal and the sun never shines.

The Taffeta, a popular bar housed inside a strange, hanging structure. This is a matte painting used in a proof-of-concept animation for the project.



…gloomy.
