I did this in December 2013 - I wasn't really happy with it, I didn't think I got the likeness very well.

80's Freddie Mercury

80's Freddie Mercury - This one's turned out a bit bland. It's a bit too close to the original photograph, I like to add something but I didn't do here...

Graphic facilitation/whiteboard animations

There has been a recent trend for 'Whiteboard animations' and 'Graphic facilitation'. I like the style of working and have an interest in working in this format. Here's my own personal take on the medium. This is my 'CV' come diagrammatic breakdown of the creative process, as occurs when working for a client(s).

Sophie Tweed-Simmons - water colour

Sophie Tweed-Simmons

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed's lovely daughter. With her mum's playboy model looks and Dad's er...charisma. Sophie favours ear muffs here which she probably claims are to keep out the NYC cold, but we all know it's to filter out her Dad's constant 'Kiss hard sell!' "Yadda, yadda,yadda,Hello kitty, yadda, yadda, KISS cruise, yadda,yadda etc"

yadda,yadda

Freddie water colour - Cerulean blue background, I like the background colour as it's fresh and relaxing in tone.

70's Freddie Mercury -water colour- purple

70's Freddie Mercury- water colour

This has a nice loose feel but I'm pleased I've kept his animated expression. The secret is to stop before it become 'wooden'. The colours are translucent and not muddy, I'm actually pleased with this for a change..

Freddie - I'm going slightly mad

Freddie - I'm going slightly mad
This video was always bitter sweet, another Queen video but it was obvious something was wrong. I have added more colour, more vibrancy as if Freddie was channeling some mystical creative force into being. I tried to summon my inner Sir William Russell Flint...

Walter White airbrushed T-shirt

Walter White airbrushed T-shirt - I did this shirt before the others on here, but when Walt just has the moustache and not the full goatie he somehow lack the gravitas of his later incarnation..
