Comic Market Summer 2010!

This is the book my colleague/friend made for the Comic Market this summer.

Many artists (all professional animators) contributed illustrations to this book , including myself.

Let me know if you'd like a copy, there are still some books left...

Comiket!

I drew this for a colleague/friend of mine who will be attending the Tokyo Comic Market (http://www.comiket.co.jp/index_e.html) this summer. This piece will be in a collective illustration book which will be available to buy at the event.

Illusionist official trailer and clips!

Here I am.

You'll find me here most of the time.

'Noh' show, Tokyo

I saw a 'Noh' show last week in Tokyo. Don't really understand what a 'Noh' is just yet, but the performers either move very slowly or even don't move at all, therefore it makes the best sketch session, yey.

'Wooden Island', Graduation film 2005...

My graduation film from The Arts Institute at Bournemouth, directed by Monica Gallab.

I worked as animation director and helped out with back grounds, compositing etc.

Man, it's already been 5 years since...

Thank you Monica for uploading!

'L'Illusionniste / The Illusionist' (Dir. Sylvain Chomet) trailer!?

Don't ask me why it's in Russian, I'm puzzled myself!
Thank you Victor for finding this!

Animation; 1st Rough

11Sec club; 1st rough from Aya Suzuki on Vimeo.

I'm giving this months 11 second club a go. My aim is to produce a piece of animation I can add to my reel, so entering it on time isn't really my priority. It would be great if I can get it done on time though.

Please leave critiques if you have time. They will be much appreciated!
