2020. Enough.

January 2020. What a shitty start to the year. The coronavirus. Kobe. Brexit. Politics and the idiots sharing all the type of propaganda that would get a nod from Goebbels in his heyday. It's like, "okay, enough".

But alas, I'm here doing the freelance schtick, looking for work, waiting for work, then resurrecting and starting whole new projects.

Currently working on a piece that has me resurrecting the sakura pens. Technology is great but tactile is king. The feel of pen and paper should never be tossed to the side. Skills get really rusty when that happens. I've learned the hard way.

Currently WIP, but I'll share once done:

"Arnilia Grove" Storyboards [SF]

Did some quick artwork for a pitch earlier this week for some great guys. More on that soonish. But, also did some storyboards for a short film called "Arnilia Grove", to be directed by Christophe Streule. Some steamy stuff, but hey, I was focused. Honestly.

July and seemingly August have been full throttle. Can't stop, won't stop. And I miss my bro.

Blackberrys "Go Sharp" Advert

Hey did a quick turn of the design hand to make this ad for Blackberrys "Go Sharp" Autumn selection. As part of a Talenthouse / Blackberrys-hosted competition. Check it out:

"Go Sharp" or go home, baby! Sleek text made bold through colour, as well as the explosive, sharp blast of glass to mirror the lithe but striking presence of the model compliment each other well I feel.

When it comes to voting you can do that here:

Any support would be appreciated kindly.

Shooting a music video next week, and a comedy series a week after that maybe. Planning and scheming.

Sum up,

bluntspear.co.uk is about as complete as it can get for now. Check it!

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?

Ones N Twos, the online comedy series created by N22 Films, Flavourmag and End Films, launches on YouTube.com/OnesNTwosTV this week.

Sum up,
Still considering.

Bleep 360 Limited Logo Design / Branding

Design and Branding for a nursing agency I did. Check it out. CMYK is never an animator's friend, but had to delve into bizarro world to get this done. I came out appreciating the vastness of colour more.

Spell Story Art

Hola senor(ita)s,

Been real busy in the camp, on my BS as it were.

Did some story art for a decent brand, an interview for a design position at a news company, and of course an animation and other story art. And logo design. All personal work has been sidetracked yet again, but hey what you gonna do? Comes with the territory

Not important, as you all know GTA V is here! Played a few minutes but right away you can tell gameplay will be extensive.

I digress.

Thought I'd share some boards I did for some dudes in Italia:

You know what comes next.

Merchants Of Quietus Poster: "Uriel Descending"

2nd poster designed for the short film I directed Merchants of Quietus, called "Uriel Descending". I think it speaks to the blight about to be wrought on the world by two unassuming men. The short has got into a film festival in Romania, so I am just holding out to hear from the dozen of other festivals I have entered as well. Alter-Native is the name. Anywho, its time for the #designtyrant unveiling:

'Merchants Of Quietus' Poster

I did two posters for my short film, which I have been sending out to various festivals both nationally and internationally- Merchants of Quietus (www.facebook.com/MerchantsOfQuietus) #IBringDeath.

I recently shared the first poster on the film's official FB page, and thought I would also share it here. So check it out:

All That Remains' "Asking Too Much"

Hey Pistoleros!
How's it going out there in Internetland?
Thought I'd share a music video I entered into a Talenthouse Competition hosted by All That Remains and Razor & Tie. It's for ATR song 'Asking Too Much'. Cool track, and thought I'd take part, as I haven't really done anything music video-wise for the kind of rock/metal crowd. But it proved to be fun. Although spent 5 days illustrating in photoshop and animating/editing/rendering because I saw the competition last minute. All strenuous stuff. I had only an hour and 1 minute to spare after I uploaded it.

Voting is now live, and I need your help to get noticed. Follow through and have a look-see:
http://www.talenthouse.com/creativeinvites/preview/aa0b7bcac4515bb04d69d04f7055fd87/1707

The video is embeded on their for you to watch, or have a double take and watch the video here too:



Sum up,
It's my 50th video apparently. That must be a milestone somewhere. Right, YouTube? Keep rocking people! :)

Heroine Badass

Illustration for a quick music video I'm hoping to get done in the next few days. Fingers crossed anyway. Just dividing the illustration into its respective elements:

"The Lightning Strike" storyboards

Check out the storyboards that I did for the making of "The Lightning Strike" music video. It's apart of the @SnowPatrolBand and Talenthouse competition. Not many of the scenes I imagined changed during the animatic/ story art phases, but I thought it would be interesting to show you all a little bit of the process behind the madness. May put the animatic up as well. But for now:

My story art is usually bare bones when I am the only one that will be using it as reference, FYI.

Angels

Touched down to earth and created the Nephelim. Super intergalactic supernatural, angel/human crossbreeding. Bit o' Bible/Hebrew knowledge for you. Look it up. I think Shaq is a descendant of one. In any case, been busy doing elements for a music video and thought I'd might as well share it:

Doing the body in parts, I overlayed the original penciling just to show the starting point. Anywho, back to the grind.
