About my animation
Since the early 90's I have been producing animated motion graphics for the television industry. You can see a showreel of this work here.
I have also worked as a freelance cartoonist on a few occasions, and recently I have started combining these two interests and making my own animated short films.

The films
An architect in the skies grows bored of his creation and decides to spice things up in this film that combines 2D animation, tilt shift photography and gratuitous explosions.

This informative and well-thought-out presentation features some of the latest thinking from the finest minds in the Liberal and National Parties. Essential viewing for all concerned Australians.
In the run up to an election, two politicians compete with each other on the “best” asylum seeker policies so that they can win over the minds of ordinary Australians.
Just a bit of silliness...
I was struggling with my animation one day. My hand couldn’t make the pen go where my brain wanted it to go. In the other room my wife was watching The Bold and the Beautiful, and in it two characters were discussing a third character’s artistic struggle. Interesting, I thought. This is paralleling my own problems.
But as this scene demonstrated, some of us struggle for the oddest (and most dramatic) of reasons.
So using the original audio from The Bold and the Beautiful I decided to animate the scene.

A hungry alien with an anger problem. A stubborn vending machine. There's going to be trouble.
It's the oldest magic trick in the book - pulling a rabbit from a hat. What can go wrong?
A short political piece. Tony Abbott, Prime Minister of Australia, thinks we have quite enough national parks and that there should be a "renaissance" of logging in Australia.
Save the bunnies!
