Sketchbook: Shakespeare's Sonnet 18

By special request, I created this artwork for Sonnet 18.  Playing with Elizabethan lace as the graphic inspiration, I tried to weave elements from the visuals of the poem: flowers, wind, and the warmth of the summer sun.

The original sketch is worked with fine pencil, then overlaid in black ink.  I then work watercolour and Sennelier inks over the lacey  lines for the full colour finish.

This sonnet is a part of my ongoing drawings of Shakespeare in a series I call 'Immortal Longings.
You can see all the Shakespeare art at www.immortallongings.com

New Trailer: The Winter (Feature Film - Producer/Production Designer)

Brand new trailer for our first in-house production.  Now complete, 'The Winter' is a feature-length Greek language fantasy feature film.  From script to the finish of the edit, I've been involved on the creative producing side of the action, and it has been an amazing learning process.

Scenic Rendering: TED Global 2013 Stage Design

Had the pleasure of designing the main Stage Set for the TED  Global 2013 conference in Edinburgh.  With the thrilling speakers and the magic of Liz Berry's lighting, it was an amazing experience.  The set combined concepts from photons and wider lunar landscapes. The challenge was in creating something that would play equally well for the live audience and for the many cameras and viewers at home.  

Plus, we got to see quad copters in action.

Costume Design

"In theatre, I love to emerge the crowd in the action unfolding around them: to feel the claustrophobia of a trench, the thrill of dangerous acrobatics. Texture, psychology, and architecture are passions of mine. From gritty realism to art nouveau, I love finding the style to suit the action and the story.

With film, the opportunity to direct the audience's attention and emphasize specific moments with the frame of the set is fantastic. I try to bring my theatre sensibilities and imagination into real world locations. Storyboarding and 3D experience are great tools for understanding how to best get the director's ideas and the story to come to life."

TV: Storyboards: 'Gettysburg'

For 'Gettysburg', I produced some (very) quick visuals for CGI sequences, highlighting marches, maps, and weaponry.

About the Show
'Executive produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, GETTYSBURG strips away the romanticized veneer of the Civil War to present the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in a new light--a visceral, terrifying and deeply personal experience, fought by men who put everything on the line in defense of their vision of the American future. Cinematic in scope, GETTYSBURG is an information-packed look at the turning points, strategic decisions, technology and little-known facts surrounding the battle. Developed in collaboration with highly esteemed Civil War historians, GETTYSBURG reflects hundreds of individual accounts of the battle--the unique voices of struggle, defeat and triumph that tell the larger story of a bitterly conflicted nation.'

*'Gettysburg' won 2 Emmy Awards in 2011, including Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special
