Flippin' The Bird

Sample of my concept art for my early pitch of a collaborative short animation project - Flippin' the Bird (previously, Pied & Seek) with fellow BCFE animators:

Adam Kavanagh

Michael McCann

Since then we've worked together to enhance the story and design. Roll out the red carpet!

Sculpts

Here are a few experimental heads I sculpted in Colourclay, by Scolaquip.
I recommend using the neon colours in this range for sculpting practice. They have a slight waxy finish which means it's easy to smooth, and for that reason, also preferable for creating stopmotion/clay mation characters, as the clay is less likely to 'crack' when posing.

Barry's Blog, stardate 10/11/2011 (I've always wanted to do that). Let's kick things off with some samples of my early logo designs before concentrating on animation and illustration. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this blogging lark, and shake the feeling of talking to myself; that's what Twitter's for.
