Denver Penny

Close to completion, A Day in the Life of Denver Penny will probably hit shelves later this year/early next. The images were produced in crayon and charcoal. These images are unedited and fresh off the drawing board:




Little Denver Penny eager to tuck into his favourite breakfast, Grandpa's omlette!



Denver is told about the upsetting mills, which give coins the raised edge.



Denver imagines his grandpa as a young penny, being packed into a roll by his parents,
ready to ship to the bank.



Grandpa Wheatley describes a school trip to Detroit Zoo, his destination as a youngster.



This wasn't a requested piece, but I thought a nice end to the book after the final page for the inside back cover. The piece is a bit special to me, as the two characters are based on my husband and me.

PANDA A-Buzz

In September 2008 I agreed to work for free for charity Parental Alienation Awareness Organisation. Work is still ongoing, with cartoon strips to feature soon. The character has been made into a stuffed toy and the website features digital posters of PANDA.



The final stuffed toy.




The original, initial design for PANDA.



PANDA turn around



Poster with caption: With so many people hateful and indifferent to your child in the world, why would you take away the one person that truly loves them? Both posters were handdrawn, finished in felt tip and editted and touched up on Paint Shop Pro.



Another poster, captioned: No child should be called a traitor for loving a parent.

Showreel Link

I'm currently searching for my showreel to put on the blog properly, but for now:

HERE IS THE YOUTUBE LINK


I recently married, so my name has changed. My contact details are still the same, however I plan on correcting this soon.

Nain Rouge

My most recent publication, Nain Rouge, was released just a couple of weeks ago. Also by Josef Bastian (who has hired me for three projects thus far) the book has recieved good feedback so far. The website Blame the Nain currently has a free online copy of the book, and hard copies are available on Amazon (though at present the UK Amazon does not have them in stock.) Blame the Nain also has some of my pre production work. All images were produced in charcoal.




The evil Nain Rouge causes havoc in the museum.



The Thinker Statue, posessed by the Nain Rouge, comes to life to threaten Elly and Tom.



Prepared to talk, the Nain Rouge creates seats for Elly and Tom
with the books from the shop.



Tricked and defeated, Elly and Tom mock the Red Dwarf before he perishes.



With peace at last, Elly and Tom sit and decide that the good things
will last as long as they want them to.

Keith Doodle Saves Christmas

These are some of my favourite bits from my first published work, Keith Doodle Saves Christmas by Josef Bastian (available on Amazon and other online retailers.) The images were produced in crayon to create a warm yet edgy feel.




Lead character, Keith Doodle, dreams of becoming an artist.



Santa's assistant Grimble has an idea.



Keith Doodle enters his work at the Santa Drawing Competition,
which is surrounded by other elves interpretations.



Santa's mortal "helpers" - the men that dress up as Saint Nick around Christmas time - are used to rely messages to the elves who can help keep Santa's lists up to date.


Pinny Gig the Film

While my film will appear in the links on the side of my blog, I thought it a good idea to post it in a post of its own.




Alternatively, it can be viewed on YouTube by clicking here.

Pinny Gig Concept Art

This is concept art from my film Pinny Gig:




The main character - a guinea pig - drawn and coloured in Photoshop, with a nod
to Yoda from Star Wars.



Drums at an interesting angle, drawn in pale crayons on black paper.



The main character as famous, one armed drummer Rick Allen of
Def Leopard done in oil pastel.

A good place to start, I feel, is with my CV. As it gets updated it will get reposted.

OTHER SKILLS

My passion lies in animation, but I take enjoyment in other creative outlets too, such as illustrating, writing, music and theatre. I also take a keen interest in team and individual sports, including judo, kayaking, surfing and running. In addition, I have been a Brownie and Guide leader for a number of years, which demonstrates my role as a leader, listener and a trustee. In 2005, I performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which shows my ability to work as a team.
