The Gurkin Trifle on Panto night. |
| Welcome to My Website |
|---|
|
First a little bit about me. I have spent about a half century dallying
with art, avoiding animation and writing an odd graphic novel. I have been
derailed a few times probably as a result of the universe trying to get me
on the right track! I have a son who recently graduated in software
engineering and has helped me get this site up and running. I originally studied art and design at Stoke on Trent in the 70's but returned to education to take a Masters in 3D computer animation at Bournemouth University in 2006/7. I live in London. |
| Purpose |
| The purpose of this site is to show case my work for people to enjoy and also to serve as a portfolio for those interested in employing my services. Yes I'm available for animation and illustration work. Also to see if anybody is interested in publishing and or developing Gurkin Trifle in any way shape or form. |

The bulk of this web site centres around the mayhemic imaginary world of
the Gurkin Trifle. This is an over the top palace of dodgy delights,
diversions and dealing, as well as drinking and dining set in a
chronologically challenged 18th century. It is part owned by one Septimus
Le Plage who was the main protagonist in a graphic novel I wrote whilst I
was recuperating from a road accident. The story concerns his reluctant attraction to the devastatingly gorgeous and dangerous Captain Kat and is 200 + pages long. It has been work in progress as I have realised that it has room for improvement. Maybe I'll serialise it here. Meanwhile I present a couple of shorter stories that follow on from the epic. |
| Portfolio |
| An overview of various styles that can be used as still illustration. Portfolio. |
| Animation |
| There is an animation section featuring my work from Bournemouth which doesn't relate to Gurkin Trifle at all except that the character might be a descendant of Septimus Le Plage. Also there are two short show reels; one that does feature Le Plage and the other an Emett tram. |
| Other Stuff |
| There is also the odd thing unrelated to Gurkin Trifle. I include an escapade called Heel Bar |
| Background |
| Here I talk of the inspiration in designing Gurkin Trifle. |
