The Johnnie Walker Whiskey you can't refuse... 🥃
Contrary to everyone using my neighborhood park as a watering hole to get drunk off wine and East European imported beer, it has been a pretty sobering experience in the ol' Batcave. Nevertheless, what would be the point if we couldn't at least think about pouring ourselves a nice drink for the toast to life? Godfather anyone?

Mondoro "Beautiful Elevation" Storyboards 🥂🍾
Technically, I've been just a little less busy than usual, though most of my busy has been a 'paid' busy. Now quarantine has people thinking they can approach me like its Credit Crunch / 2009 again. Not cool, bro. My family also eats food that requires money. Who'd have thunk?
In any case, I did forget to flog this up on me blogs. I did another one of those storyboards/ad comparisons. This one I did for Mondoro via Mr. White. So if you like your sparkling wine and Italian architecture, then you should get a kick out of this brand film.
Check it out:
Sum up,
A toast is most certainly needed.

Covid-19 Quarantining and not going "BK 2 SKL" 👑
Hey, well, the world's gone tits-up since my last post, hasn't it? At some point, I would have said Covid-19 sounded like a cool name for a future-traveling android, but now it all seems like we're the butt of a huge cosmic joke. And social media isn't helping with the hysteria.
Alas, thought I'd take a break from it all and post. What else is there to do? Quarantining, social distancing, introversion and all that.
Designed this album cover. Didn't get used in the end. Long story, but thought I'd share anyway.

Nike LYG Storyboards 🏃👟
Nike is just one of those prolific brands that you just have to salute. Purely for branding if not anything else. Even the story behind its infamous 'SWOOSH' logo has provides great lessons for brand creators worldwide in knowing and securing your worth.
With that bit of a rant out of my system, last year was brought on to a Picture Farm project via Mira (cool lady) for a Nike ad promoting their London Youth Games event back in 2019. The boards went through a few changes, but the end result is this punchy little number.
Made another little side-by-side comparison. Check out the video below (best on mobile):
Great times.
Sum up,
Roll out.

Give us a hug 🤗
Things have been slight taking off workwise... and being a freelancer when you work from behind your desk most of the time, you forget how annoying the '9-5' commute is, and the general discussions around the watercooler.
Today's topic in the office was the coronavirus. That coupled with an article about the pandemic that is bound to infect all of us, paranoia was high. I had to literally force my mind into a better state. What happens, will. I try not to give into all the fear-mongering, especially one that is pushed by a media.
More disturbing than that, is the totally casual disregard for human life. "Oh, it kinda needs to happen." Okay, Draconian overlord, calm down.
In any case, who needs a hug? Check out this unused frame from some storyboards I did yesterday. Quick start, quick-ish finish:
Don't you feel better? But seriously, make no contact with people in public places. Disease running rampant out here in Babylon.

But you can always give me hug. If it feels awkward you held on too long or I like you.

Had recently put this up on the Insta (am I that guy now? [nah, I'm still vanity, filter free, so there is that...]). So thought I might as well share on here. A side-by-side storyboard comparison with the Starling Bank ad I worked on.
Done via Ekstasy with VFX by Glassworks.

💀I'm in the Death Business... Death being Storyboards?... Here are some storyboards.
Currently working on a little project with my guy from Stateside; I'm racking my brain trying to remember how we first connected. I think I complimented a dubstep music video he directed. Wait, what ever happened to dubstep? Is that, like, truly dead? Were we trash for listening?
In any case, the little project is a motion comic one, and currently in the storyboard frame stages about to move on to the animatic and character design. Without giving too much away, thought I'd share a rough frame or two, some of which are not in the final cut:
What do you think it's about?

It's always fun to do looser boards like this, because the lines always look more vibrant to me when it's fully organic.
Sum up,
...And business is good. Well, okay. Okay-ish.
