LYDIA PILOT LINK (at last)

Well, it all got too hard to try and convert a DVD file to post on this blog, soooooooh,
I've now got a link for both the LUCKY LYDIA trailer and the pilot episode.
Here we go....

Dunderheads

Dunderheads was a pitch for an animated tv. series that I conceived, designed and directed with the financial help of Film Graphics. There is no dialogue on this show, instead it is musically driven.
The shorts were to be 3 or 4 minutes in duration. This idea was never picked up but it was a lot of fun working on it.

Fishy

Just a bit of an experiment, back in the late 90's. It was an attempt to do the whole illo. using Photoshop only,
no roughs or scanned in blue pencil drawings.

Happy Meals Tvc.

Back in the late 90's, I had the opportunity to design, direct and animate this little ad on my own,
and it was a lot o' fun.

Free Radical Bad Ass

These are character designs for a commercial that did get made for Blackmore's antioxidant vitamins.

Toohey's Beer Pitch

This was a pitch for Toohey's Dry, a local Aussie beer.
Alas, it never came to pass.

Mummy

Here is a character model for another Streets Paddlepop tvc.

Jackie Chan

Several years ago I was asked to design a cartoon version of Jackie Chan for an animated title sequence on one of his films. The design was rejected on the grounds that I made him look too Chinese.

Gumshoe

A pencil drawing for a tv. show pitch.

Bofo the Mofo Monkey

Wayyyy back before monkeys became hip, I was trying to come up with a simian character for a show idea.
That's about as far as that went.

Pharmacy Tvc.

Here's a bunch of pharmaceutical dudes for some pitch on a local tvc.

Joe Something

I vaguely remember being asked to draw up a private investgator but kinda goofy,
apart from that, I can't remember anyhing else.

Coco Pops Hyena

Had to design a seedy hyena for a Kellog's Coco Pops tvc.

Tough Nut

One of many designs for the "good guys" in battle scene for a vitamin commercial.

Streets Paddlepops

This was a character sheet for Paddlepop tvc.

Lester Skinfield

I just needed a creepy semi-villain character for a show concept.

Fabric Softener

I can't remember the brand, but this was a pitch for some fabric softener.
We didn't get the job. I later saw it on a European channel and the characters
were not like this.

Aussie Slang

Just a random set of doodles depicting some Aussie slang, see if you can pick 'em out.

1920'S Rubber Hose

All I can remember about this, is that an ad agency was looking to make a tvc. that used mixed animation styles.
Among others, I chucked this in for the rubber hose part. The ad was never made.

Kellogg's Fruit Loops

One of many Pitches for Kellogg's during the years. This one was to feature Sam Toucan's rollerblading skills.
