Finished a great 2016 in the Gold Coast working with the brilliant team behind Thor Ragnarok. Will be a hugely anticipated film and I think well loved. I was invigorated by the design process. Many surprises.
Between jobs I started a collaboration with YA Author Andrew Smith. Some exciting work already produced and the bigger ideas around a graphic novel are gestating. Can't wait to share a large drawing I produced that will coincide with a future publication. :) This work will happen over a long arc around the film jobs but I'm very excited and dedicated to have this art happening.
I'm contributing a little bit of art and design to an Australian Indy film too. Finding the time is nearly impossible but I do my best to say yes to anything I can help with.
I've put my children's book Shadowlands project on the back burner. Still not too sure what the audience for it was and my approach to the work wasn't sustainable. May return to it over time. Some short film ideas bubble up to the surface once in a while, Minos especially remains an unrequited artistic expression. My main criteria for work at the moment though is that it has a clear collaboration and audience. Any other creativity lacking clarity I take my time with as way of exploration. To be honest my exploration is spent more in the Kitchen at the moment. Where my audience is my lovely Family Jade, 5 yo Finn and any friends brave enough to taste my concoctions. :) time is precious but there is a lot to enjoy :).
Fingers crossed Wellington weather improves then we'll be getting some beach time in too :) Lots of time hanging with Finn in Eastbourne. Rock n Roll!!
