Hello again!

According to the time-stamp on my last post I haven't updated this website in what's approaching 2 years..

So with that, and the fact that one of my new year's resolutions is to devote more time to animation outside of work, I thought it was about time I made a new news post.

In the time between my last post and now I've worked on a few little pieces of animation which you can see on my Youtube channel. But the biggest news would be that I landed a job animating in the games industry. I'm now working as an animator for Jagex on Runescape, which involves animating so really bizarre creatures as well as humans.

The thing I didn't count on when I got this job was how much animating out of work would fall by the wayside..

So after a looong time of animating purely in work I've decided it's time to get back into working on some personal projects. First off I plan to get back into Maya (we use in-house software at work) by doing some small tests, while working on my drawing at the same time.

Then I'd like to work on a little game in UDK (nothing too fancy), and a short film with some of the guys from work.

This should mean a lot more activity on the website :) Add to that the fact that I want to start posting links to cool animations, blogs, articles etc. and the site should have a lot more content over the course of the year.

Cheers :)
