Ocean City

March 24, 2018

Towards the end of last year, I was delighted to join Rogue Comics as a lettering artist for a comic series called Ocean City. Created by Colm Griffin, the comic tells a coming of age story about a boy "learning about the past, dealing with loss, and finding out where he fits in the world." I'm very proud to be part of the  creative team, and I'm delighted to say that the book sold out during its launch event earlier this month! I'm already looking forward to issue two!

The book is currently out of stock, but will soon be available at roguecomicsireland.com.

The Clockmaker has been selected for Dingle Animation Festival 2018

March 19, 2018

I'm delighted to share the news that my graduation film, The Clockmaker, has been selected to be shown at the Dingle Animation Festival this year! It was an incredibly challenging project in so many ways, but it has been rewarding too. 

Congratulations, also, to my wonderful classmates for the work they did on their own graduation films, several of which have also been included in the Dingle Animation Festival selection.

You can see the full official selection here: LINK.

Essay | What makes The Married Life Sequence so Powerful?

June 13, 2017

Today I want to share something different; an analysis of one of my favourite sequences in animated storytelling. The Married Life sequence is part of Pixar's 2009 animated feature film, Up, which was directed by Pete Docter. Although the sequence is less than four and a half minutes in length, I think most of us can agree that this series of shots is deliver in a way which has a powerful impact and leaves a lasting impression on its audience.
