#SixFanArts Challenge Number 3: Crocodile Dundee 🐊, He-Man⚔️, B.A. Baracus 💪🏿, Hulk 👊, Wonder Woman 🦸‍♀️ and Danger Mouse 🐁

This one was for the great Jamie, worked with him a few times back in the Hangar Seven days. Real joker. He was game and gave me his suggestions for the next bout of Six Fan Arts challenge.

The usual suspects that made the lineup, in this case, was Crocodile Dundee, He-Man, B.A. Baracus, Hulk, Wonder Woman and Danger Mouse. The end result was pretty decent I guess. While the very first challenge I did everything under 1 hour, here I kept each individual image under an hour.

Check it out:

Sum up,
Time to go ham. Also, no one asked me to draw Ahsoka Tano. This makes me sad.

Ground control to Major Tom...

It's been a busy few weeks storyboarding a few projects for a few people/production houses.

Thought I'd share an unused frame from one of 'em

Check it out, soccer fans!

I think it's a satellite still orbiting earth hailing from that penalty shot David Beckham took at Euro all those years ago.

Sum up,

You can't burn bridges and then expect to cross them.

Aberdeen Asset Management / Sailing / Land Rover BAR storyboards

Recently storyboarded some work for Aberdeen Asset Management via Mr. White production company. Lot of exotic sailing, clear waters and has an Olympic vet in it. All around good fun. Check out some of the frames I rendered:

Now see the promo:

Thanks to Mr. White for the opportunity!

Sum up,

Design + Boarding. Next week is self.

Here's my card...

It's about that time once again. Well, once every what, 9 - 10 years. Never been the one to do a massive amount of business cards. As it turns out, most of my work comes from word of mouth. But sometimes you got to X-Men Gambit-it up with some pristine business cards.

Got these printed at printed.com, which was Goodprint back in the day, and they never fail to get the job done right. One card misprint, but otherwise quality is great.

Designed this recently with all my social media and new portfolio website. At the moment still adding stuff to the websites re: storyboard works but all in all been busy working on a few stuff for People In Motion – a charity that's doing massive things at the moment in the field of athletics, movement and sports. Hold tight for that.

But for now, I am currently trying to get some ideas down for new T-Shirts for TheActionPixel.com + TheActionPixel.store, as I may have found a new supplier that I can actually depend on. Because god knows after the month I've had, I need people in my circle to be held to some goddamn accountability for their ghastly shortcomings. And that's putting it kindly.

Sum up,

Hem Tag, I'm it.

Dead Cool Storyboards

I was live and direct on a short film set directed by Simon Ross; recently worked on a few projects for him. And though I was 'Black guy in the crowd' type of extra, I also managed to do the storyboards for the short, entitled "Dead Cool". More like dead cold... hella freezing. And Britain got it's first-named storm. Congrats. We in the Caribbean name our storms all the time. Theirs started with an A. Something weak like Andrea, Ashley or something.

Check out a few of the frames I did:

Sum up,

Stop flirting with extras playing bystanders,

The Disappeared storyboards

Did some quick boards a while back for a short film for Guy Logan about a story surrounding 'The Troubles' back when Ireland was 'bout it bout it' aka 'bout that life'. Hence the title The Disappeared

Check it out:

Sum up,

I am sad to say I actually just caught on to how awesome CW's Arrow is. Lots of lost time to make up for.

Reunion Flyer design

Hey gang,
Swarmed with work this and next week. Most of it has been spent working on storyboars for Breville ads and drawing a humanoid chicken. As you do. Feels like I could use an extended holiday. Most recently, I did some quick flyers for a high school reunion. Alpha Girls chapter in MIA. Also one for Tarrant High School.

Which made me think how much would a reunion at my high school suck. Mainly because I'm still that awkward guy who'd rather draw than gossip about inconsequential bull.

Check it:

Sum up,

I could have told you that

Pre-Viz Storyboards: Missing Planes, Scientists and Kidnappings

Hey peoples! How goes you. Thought I would quickly share some boards I did for a friend Stil Williams who's currently over at MPC. He needed them for a more pre-viz exercise and thought I'd lend a hand. So if you like clandestine lairs, shady organised crime and conspiracies and high profiled kidnappings then this definitely for you:

All in a days work. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Sum up,

So... much work. Doing some boards for blueprint.tv plus a series to launch on the BBC. And my sisters site... it's like being in the trenches with half a banana clip and no air support in the foreseeable future

Yakuza goes animatic + Topscreen Logo design

Remember that Yakuza boards I did, well the director came back to me and wanted me to convert the boards into a working animatic. Just to remind ya:

Finished that a couple weeks ago, and will show it in a few when I can. Also recently did some design work for Topscreen and their rebranding. Logo was simple, check it out:

I also did a version for dark backgrounds so it can exist on all surfaces. I thoroughly hate logos that can only exist on one type of background, or white type on yellow surfaces. It just does not work. Anywho, I'm just going to totally ignore the fact that this post is being made after quite the hiatus on my part, and just say see ya next time.

Sum Up,
Accreditation. Always praise the soldier who stood in the trenches with you when you did not have the support you have now.

"The Authority" Storyboard Line Art

Hey, another round of story art I did. I'd say more but you know the old saying.... yeah that one:

What you guys think?

Sum up,

Why on God's green are film locations so expensive? I'm not asking to shoot in 10 Downing Street to see what the PM and Balls are getting up to. Lol. Balls. Teased much?

For now, thought I'd share a frame from the draft boards I did for UI interface for a mining company in Sierra Leone:

Brand Level Up maybe?

Recently had the opportunity to produce some artwork and story art for a promo for a reknowned sports brand which was quite cool to say the least. The top tiers seemed to like it, particularly my clairvoyant draughtsmanship of the protagonist whom I did not see before I drew him. Here is a quick image that didn't make the final cut.

That aside. MOQ is on hold (I told you all I shot it in February, right?) as I am doing some lip sync for a tutorial video that really may as well be that thing... you know, like supposed we as humans had a thing or action that could 'short circuit' us. Like, example, we say a phrase like "What do you mean the horse blurs your vision" that triggers an aneurysm in your brain. Maybe lip sync will be that for me. Who knows.

Sum up,
Death Note. Wo, Light is such a punk.

'Good news everyone'... Meh.

Few stuff in the way of news.

Saw an edit for a film that I storyboarded donkey years ago "The Car" by Sacha Boxell. Another feature I storyboarded called 'Concealed' for an outfit in Austrilia is out of post and can I tell you there is a certain pride that comes with seeing your name in the credits, even if it's on paper [although I would have preffered a story artist credit for 'The Car' rather than a 'special thanks' (I couldn't draw 'special thanks' for the life of me) [I suck at pictionary].

But finishing up an edit for Lazarus Rising. Emails and the likes. My faith in these cogs and wheels are non-existent now though. But working through those issues now.

Imma go handle some business.

Peace, for now

Sum up,
Time is fleeting. Throttle it.
