..::about::..

Hailing from a place called Sandiacre, between Nottingham & Derby, I'm a CG artist with well over a decade's industry experience and am currently employed by Lightworx, Bristol, as their Visual Effects Director / Lead Visual Effects Artist. Previous positions include Lead and Senior Artist and Head of Media which enables me to provide sound advice with regards to tips and techniques when working with Max and other cg vfx software and technologies.

This information can be found in the publications I write for, such as 3D World, Computer Arts and Computer Arts Projects and in my own book "Deconstructing the Elements" (now as a second edition) which deals with recreating natural effects with cg. I've also contributed to 3ds max 4 Magic & 3ds max 6 Killer Tips from New Riders publications, and have produced the covers for 3ds max 5 Fundamentals & Ed Harriss' How To Get A Job In Computer Animation.

A full list of publications I've written for can be found here.

Available to hire for all cg animation and effects-related projects such as visual effects work for film, tv, music videos, idents and commercials. I'm well-experienced on-set and have held the role as effects supervisor on numerous occasions.
