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.

Been cleaning out and packing up my apartment and found this that I never posted...
Yup. I'm sure we've all done it.
This was from an actually situation back at the banner ad place. I finished up there at the end of last year and have some very very VERY exciting stuff lined up for this year. Hence the packing of the apartment.
Sorry, I will tell you soon. I honestly will. I just feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment and... Just, don't worry. I'll tell you soon.
Welp, guess it goes without saying that I, in fact, did NOT complete a post for every day of December. I made 18 posts and then... well.. stopped.
OH! Happy new year, by the way! It being 2012 now 'n' all. Hope everyone hand a splendid Christmas/Holiday/End of year break/Whatever. It being summer here the wether went really blisteringly rubbish for a couple of days, but it's quite pleasant now.
Oh, I got an iPhone recently. As a christmas/going away present to myself.
I did a terrible thing to it though...
I installed Garageband onto it...
And then this happened... In all it's multitrack reverb-heavy stereophonic goodness...

So yeah... that's me singing (I call it singing because that what it most resembles) and playing the uke.
There's also a feature that lets you have the audio run through a virtual amp, so my uke sounded like an electric guitar for parts.
Anywhoosle, I'm going to try for some sort of regularity to posting, but it seems every time I define a timeframe it all falls apart.
So yeah, expect stuff, but don't expect when. But soon. Hopefully...
Okay, I'm totally cheating on this one, but I can't stay up any longer. This is a mocumentary I made back at university. This was made back in 2007 if I recall. It follows the trials of the rare (and suspicioulys basketball looking) Swamp Mollusk.
Wow... I forgot how prevalent 3:4 aspect ratio was back then... And how crappy the upload was.
And yes, that is me trying to sound like David Attenborough/Stephen Fry.
...sooo very tired....
I give up. This is all I have tonight,
Have a great tomorrow everyone,

I think the thing I find hardest about drawing any sort of comic is that as an animator you'd have dozens of frames to show actions or impacts, even changes in gesture during dialogue. In comics you get one drawing. That's it. I think I needed to show the ball in contact with my face... or maybe not have the ball flying towards me at all... maybe... I dunno. Practice makes perfect.
So yeah. I've well and truly dropped the ball on this Daily December thing. Between work suddenly going mental and everything else going even more mental (not to mention Christmas) it's just been a bit impossible for me.
But I'll do you a deal. It's 7:30 pm and I'm currently still at work. For every job I finish tonight, I'll also do a blog post.
Regardless of if I make it to 20 or not before midnight, after this I'm gonna consider my Daily December challenge 'up to date'.
