This gig poster, for IWATCHEDHERDIE and Hereafter,was all about getting back-to-basics. Taking hand-drawn elements, combining them digitally to produce something with raw animalistic energy. There's something extremely freeing about being able to experiment and play around in designing an artwork. Something I really enjoy doing. New Noise Agency are a Brisbane based touring and promotions company and they commissioned me for this piece.

Leif Erikson is a 3D animated music video I produced for my final year project studying at Queensland University of Technology. I absolutely love finding deeper meaning and interpreting other artist’s work, films or even TV shows. This is why I chose this song by US band, Interpol. Their songs are always moody and full of vivid imagery that it inspired me to bring my interpretation to life. This project took 8 months from concept to completion and was shown as part of the graduates exhibition show at QUT where it was chosen to received its highest honour of ‘Outstanding Animation’ by the Creative Industry faculty. I used Photoshop for the preproduction and textures, MAYA 2008 for all the 3D work and animation and After Effects for the post production. Though my narrative felt ambitious at times, through the careful critique and advice of my teacher and peers, I feel the result speaks for how much blood, sweat, tears (and caffeine) was poured into the making of. Many people have asked me what my film means and even though I don’t mind sharing my meaning, my video is open for interpretation. I’d love to hear how you interpret it as there is something intriguing with how similar (or dissimilar!) another person’s perspective is. Maybe this is why I love to delve deep into the meanings behind a work myself.
