Arts & Business

I recently worked with Arts & Business and Progress Film on a series of short animated films for the Arts & Business Awards 2013. I illustrated a map of England that was used to zoom into during the films with a magnifying glass revealing the strong partnerships between business and the arts across England.

Fisherman’s Friend

My drawings were animated for comical Fisherman’s Friend idents that feature on River Monsters a documentary that follows extreme angler Jeremy Wade around the globe exploring fishy tales and myths, that you can catch on ITV and Discovery.

I produced a number of backgrounds, props and character designs that were animated by Drum. The series of animations see a ‘seriously strong’ pack of Fisherman’s Friend menthol lozenges take the bait of Mr. Lofty the fisherman and cast him into a variety of humorous scenarios as he is dragged across the surface of the water clinging onto his fishing rod petrified!

GEICO Now

I produced a series of illustrations explaining the steps of GEICO Auto Repair Xpress. The drawings show the procedure you go through if your car needs fixing after a crash from drop-off to drive off and where used in a slide show on the GEICO Now website.
