Close Encounters...

A still frame from the Mrs. Brown Animated short.

Sneak Peek!

Screenshot of the opening for the animated short!
It's still a bit rough. The ship needs a lot of tweaking.

...and we're off!

Here's a screenshot from early on in the animated short. I've got my work cut out for me! This is going to eat up a lot of time! I've got this to animate and also to finish the indy book 'Greenbrook'.

No rest for the wicked!

Sample Board!

A three panel sequence fromt he upcoming Mrs. Brown animated short. The animatic has been completed and I'd love to show it...but, alas, I ahve to keep it secret for now. I can tell you one thing...it's a lot of fun!

Storyboards!

One Hundred and Fifty!

That's right!

150 storyboard panels completed for the new Mrs. Brown Boys animated short.
Now to create the animatic!

Phew! That was a lot of work.

Drawing Desk

While you're all waiting for the latest Caretakers page...here's a really old drawing I did back in '99 (or there abouts!). It's a drawing of me at my art desk. I was just learning Flash at the time and I was going to animate a small part of this as an experiment.

Nothing much has changed appearance wise from then till now. Years may have passed but you'll still catch me at my drawing desk...wearing a 'wifebeater', hunched over, drawing up plans to conquer the world!

Busy, busy, busy.....

Mrs. Browns Boys - Bible cover - color!

Need to probably tweak this a bit but so far, so good!

The Animated Series Bible Cover Inks!

Here's the inked version of the 'Mrs. Browns Boys' bible cover.

Mrs. Browns Boys - Bible Cover Ruff!

This is the rough pencils for the Bible cover for 'Mrs. Browns Boys: The Animated Series'.

I wanted to do a fun type cover instead of the usual boring family portrait cover.

James Larkin Court!

Cleaned up background for the animated pilot. This is where Agnes Brown lives.

The thumbnails for the roughly '18 seconds' of the first audio clip 'Dermot/Chicken'.
The next stage is to roughly put together a quick animatic to see the flow...and then when it's okay'd...to do out cleaner storyboard pages and shoot a 'proper' animatic.

The animation will follow closely the 'proper' animatic.

FCEK!

I did this for Brendan. It's a parody of the FCUK T-Shirts.

Not bad...a bit of fun for me to do.
