The journey of a poor student to a rich professional, hopefully.

It has indeed been another year since I last posted, sad times. Therefore here is a quick update!

Me and Claire upped sticks from Newcastle and drove down to London with all our worldly possessions. We didn’t have work to go to so we set about looking for jobs. After graduation I had organised lots of interviews and proceeded to attend them, and one company decided to give me a chance!

Feed are a creative design company based in the beautiful Clerkenwell and after working here for nearly seven months now I’m absolutely loving it. My work entails everything that I enjoyed doing in my spare time and thus this job is perfect. All the people who I work with are great people and good mates; two who have sites are Danny Sturgess and Andy Forshaw (super ace famous illustrators in my eyes, if they don’t mind me saying).

I’ve already been heavily involved with large scale eBay briefs, MSN Homepage takeovers for feature films such as ‘The Boat that Rocked’ and the new Harry Potter. Mostly i’ve been doing video, animation and 3D work. The most notable being the below eBay Christmas campaign for which I made the presents in Maya.

We live in the Docklands at a place called Gallions Reach at the minute (yes, it does sound like a theme park ride) and are going to start looking for somewhere closer to central London i.e. Borough or Angel so we can walk to work.

Now seen as though I probably won’t update this again for another year you can follow me on Twitter which I update at least everyday and see my ongoing work on my Vimeo too.
