Hi Folks, its been a while.
I went travelling around Japan with a friend for a month in October. Went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Fukuoka, with a few excursions here and there. Had a brilliant time.
I spent much of December working on a character for a cool, high profile project for London-based Superfad. Had a nice christmas and new year break, then went straight back to work on January the 2nd with a new job!
I spent all of January in Valencia, Spain modelling some characters for Pasozebra productions. I was put up in a great apartment only 5 minutes away from where i worked, and very close to the sights and shops. Was a great change of scenery, and a nice escape from the cold, snowy UK! Pasozebra were great - they were some of the best clients ive worked with.
Back home now and catching up with everything. Ill be back down London working at Nexus productions again very soon - will be on a 2 month long job this time. Better make the most of this free time period!
Not really had much free time for personal work, though i have some ideas buzzing around in my head. I did the 'Hoteru no aoi' image in September (seems like ages ago now!), and it will be in the upcoming 'Digital arts masters 5' book as a tutorial/ walkthrough. I also have a few other books that my work will be in, including a pinup art book, which i'm very much looking forward to.

About:
Has starry-eyed ambitions but takes too long to act upon things. Needs to be more assertive.
Has a big intrest in most aspects of Japanese culture. Would love to live in Tokyo at some point - its my favourite place in the world. Ive been there 5 times in the last 4 years.
Be sure to visit my CGtalk portfolio - i have more work on there, including some of my older stuff.
