Sq train line caution

squirrel- leap & glide

The first stage when my character leaves his roost in the tree... straight into motorway traffic :S

Do not worry, all Bgrounds and character colour is just temp. for draft purposes

Squirrel leap over junk

Part of a progressing project: illustrating- ‘Once a squirrel could cross the island without touching the ground’ Because the forest was so dense. That is not the case anymore- it has been replaced by our industries, rubbish and lifestyles.

Relating to ‘Walt Disney’s Flour sack, the character he challenged his new employees to animate; taking advantage of its diverse properties, when applying the 12 principles.

Animating proverbs...why didn't i think of it before. The versatility and msg i can put across, WITH a splash of entertainment!

The joys of learning lip-sync...I interviewed a chef, and it inspired me to illustrate her as an arachnid- multi limbed to deal with the chaos in a kitchen
-enough eyes to keep everything under control
-and lots of kids...apparently :S

Every ‘sheep’ has a silver lining
