I'm an Australian animator from Melbourne living and working in Halifax, Canada.

Currently Animation Supervisor for Copernicus Studio Inc., I amuse myself by terrifying the locals with ukulele fuelled spontaneous sing-alongs and using snow as shaving equipment.

At the moment

Hey everyone,
Hope you all had a great weekend 'n' stuff.
This is something I finished a while ago, but couldn't show you because the site wasn't live.
Where I'm currently working, I was asked to create a short animation sort of detailing the process we go through to make web banner ads. (my job is essentially the guy in the blue)



You can watch it here as it's an embedded .swf.

So yeah. Though I it took a while to finish, I didn't have much time to do it as the banners were the priority, hence there's a LOT of reuse and the characters switch between frame by frame and tween every now and again. But it was fun! And got to more or less board the whole thing up myself.

Molto bene lunedi per tutti, and I hope you all have a great Monday.
Good luck for the week,
-Daniel

Office Extras

Hey everyone,
Thought I'd post some of the stuff I've put up around my computer at work.


Ella Spork. Made from a spork, paper, fineliner and whiteout.






Ah yeah... I seem unable to resist finished toilet rolls now... There's just so much potential!
This is a toiletpaper mammoth. He has no ears 'cause he's all about doin', not listnin'!

Hope everyone's having a grand Thor's day,

IF: Reverse

My submission for Illustration Friday. Theme - Reverse




Okay, so for whatever reason, I thought this weeks theme was 'Rewind'. So I started making the following comic based on that theme...
But then I saw a submission, and realised I was very much mistaken...
So yeah, this is the would-be-submission for the imagined theme of 'rewind'!



Tonights blog update comes to you from Beav's Bar in Geelong.
The vibe is great, the staff are friendly, but most importantly the music is AWESOME!!!
I've been here for about half an hour and I've heard 'jeremiah was a bullfrog', "sugar sugar, by the archies" and am currently listening to "10cc - Deadlock holiday". If it were any closer to my iTunes library, the next song'd be 'walking on sunshine' or the theme to dogstar.

Happy Thursday to all, and to all a good Cider!
-Daniel

(edit: The next song was Dizzy, by Tommy Roe! Sweet!)

Pen Hair-clips



I'm in dire need of a haircut, and've been using pens and sharpies to keep my hair outta my eyes.
Just a quick rough muck around during lunch.

Hope everyone's having a great Tuesday arvo,
-Daniel

(oh, that's not meant to be me, that's meant to be a girl. Though practical, the pens holding my hair back looks a bit creepy on a dude...)
