Nutcracker Programme

Every year around Christmas time I work with my old dance school West London School of Dance on their annual performance of The Nutcracker. I operate the spotlight as well as sometimes help with costume fittings and set dressing. This year I was asked to design the program and poster! Illustrations for Ballet? Yes please! As this performance is set in the 20's I thought I'd incorporate an Art Deco theme. So here are the initial deigns and final images.

Initial designs, they chose to go with the middle one.

Eee! Crackers it's been a long time!

Hello! Well it's been 9 months since my last post and soooooo much has happened, my main news is that I was offered a job as an assistant animator at my dream studio Aardman back in April !!! GAhahahahahahahaha!..was pretty much my reaction. So i've been living in lovely Bristol for the last six months and working on the fourth series of Shaun the Sheep which has been incredible. I've been doing a lot of plasticine sculpting and even some animating - which sadly i can't post yet. I'll try harder to keep this updated with work I do in and out of Aardman! Bye!
