CGI **Award Winning** 3D Animated Short HD: "Shoot" - by Rory Conway

And here it is, the release of my short animation  film 'SHOOT' now on-line.
Enjoy!

The Breadwinner

I am currently working on layout and backgrounds for the upcoming animation feature movie 'The Breadwinner' which is an adaptation of Deborah Ellis's international best selling noval.   Directed by Nora Twomey, it tells the story of Parvana, a young girl living under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, who must disguise herself as a boy and become the breadwinner of the family when her father is unfairly imprisoned.

I know its been quite a while since I've worked on my own personal work, but here is an illustration I created for an upcoming Pumpkin Festival for a small and wonderful community called Portlaw, Waterford.

Song of the Sea - How to draw Ben

Here is a little video demonstration showing myself drawing Ben from the Oscar nominated animation feature 'Song of the Sea'.  An on-line tutorial I created to promote the launch of  Song of the Sea's exhibition at Butler Gallery, Kilkenny, Ireland.  A film I'm very proud being involved with.  

Butler Gallery - 'Song of the Sea' the exhibition

It has arrived!  Song of the Sea's exhibition opened 4th July 2015 at Butler Gallery, Kilkenny, Ireland.  Twice Oscar nominated Cartoon Saloon, presents an interactive, multimedia exhibition of original drawings, prints, storyboards, animation and scene realisation, revealing an insider's view of Cartoon Saloon's movie-making process.  The exhibition includes a large visual timeline of Song of the Sea history.  It shows the production process from initial drawings to the delivery of a world-class animation film.  A proud creation of mine.  The exhibition will run until the 11th October 2015.  So come on down and meet me, Animator In Residence.
