This short test animates a track by Klimek called “For Steven Spielberg & Azza El-Hassan”
The ‘negative’ space or silences in this piece are really fun to animate, i think the minimal white fits the music. Soon i will get in contact with a few musicians to do a collaborative project or two. If any musicians/labels are interested do get in contact.
This is my latest animation using a tune called Black Cloud by Yuka. Its short but took along time to render using the networked Blender render farm: sheepit-renderfarm.com which helped a lot.
I’m having no end of fun visualising electronic music in a synesthesia imagined style.
The track is available here:

A few Kaleidoscopic Cityscape tests. Taking existing land and cityscape artwork and then playing around with mirror effects in ‘Affinity Photo’ image editing software works really well I’m not sure whether to put these onto a section of my portfolio. So maybe just a quick blog post to see what people think of them. The second image of the cross is very striking, im not sure who would commission something like that.
A short sound triggered test animation in Blender I created over the Xmas holidays using a Clams Casino tune called ‘Say Your Prayers’ from his free download Instrumentals 4 mixtape. Adding some Synesthesia visualisation styles to a Clams Casino tune worked out really well.
This print creates an alternative cityscape floating in the clouds of the London mist. In amongst the textures and lines of the print, you will find gritty urban imagery such as road signs and cameras mixed with the well-known landmarks of London Town. Hand printed in four colours using a background colour blend illustrating the forever changing sunsets of London. Limited edition of 50. Its 56 x 40 cm.
My inspiration for this work is a line taken from a famous Dylan Thomas play called Under Milk Wood. The story follows a day in the lives of a group of Welsh characters who inhabit the fictional town of Llareggub. The line ‘Fishing Boat Bobbing Sea’ is a form of onomatopoeia meaning a word or sentence that sounds just like what it describes. The four simple words placed next to each other have an amazing visual poetry to them that is almost impossible to forget once you have read them. It also is the perfect line to translate into a poster illustration. On sale Here
Swimmer
This is a hand printed in Five colours. Starting with a vibrant Blue tinted Metallic Silver ink, then with Three tones of Blue and finished off with Orange.
The joy of creating this print was illustrating the impressionistic curves and ripples of the water created by a swimmer gliding through a Blue ocean of Sliver waves.
