'If You're Out There'

This is a little looping animation I made in Harmony and comped in After Effects. I wanted to try a full rotation on something in Harmony, it's mad jittery, but it was fun all the same. The concept comes from a short film idea I've been working on called 'Time is a Gift' that I haven't really spent enough time working on, of course, of course.

Hope you guys like it anyway (Y)

The Cosmic Somnambulism of an Unmoored Mind

Thank you Finbarr Martin for the amazing title which I don't really understand.

here's my entry for the space thingie, gouache on moleskine sketchbook

Belka & Strelka

My portrait of Belka and Strelka, the first dogs to return safely from orbit.

They should make spacesuits for hedgehogs, just in-case.

Memories of the Space Age

I've been reading a lot of JG Ballard recently so I was inspired by the theme to do a mock up book cover for his short story collection Memories of the Space Age. Ballard is an interesting and challenging writer. He claimed to have more in common with a surrealist painter like DeChirico than a contemporary novelist, and "Ballardian" is given to mean "dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes and the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments."

Although this may all seem a little grim, I'd encourage the viewer not to simply accept the most literal interpretation of this image. Although the subject may have befallen a catastrophe, the liberating possibilities of disaster are a central theme in Ballard's fiction. Perhaps our astronaut is simply dreaming of the gantries and runways of Cape Canaveral in the golden era of the Space Age, and will awaken to a new day, where its lost possibilities can be brought to fruition.

Space Explorer

Planet explorations are a pretty lonely affair for this poor fella.

A bit of a space mech fight.

SPAAAAAAACE!

Hi Boulder artbloggers,

Time to kickstart the Boulder artblog for the year, and in honour of the recent launch of The Falcon Heavy into deep space we thought we'd make the theme about that very thing: Space!  

And like space itself the possibilities for creative exploration are vast. So we've broken it down into sub sections: Vehicles, Aliens, Robots, Planets. Pick one or as many as you like and let your imagination take you to "where no man has gone before!!" (yeah - you can also pay homage to your favourite sci-fi books, films, comics etc). 

We'll run this one until the end of March after which we will all vote on the winner. The winner will receive a special prize. 

Anyone new to the company who hasn't already joined the artblog, and would like to, give me a shout and we'll get you added to the account.

Happy doodlin'
