HelloHello

My name is George, a south/west England based designer trained in graphics and animation. I have an appreciation for both 3-D and digital and believe they can compliment each other. Much of my work combines the practises. I like to experiment by turning 2-D designs into 3-D and vice versa.

The premise revolves around a Victorian robot waking in the 21st century, attempting to understand modern life with the help of human friends.

Circus Grimm was my final year project whilst studying at the University of the West of England. It was designed as a way in which to showcase my modelmaking. and puppet building skills. It involved designing and creating the sets and performers of a very strange circus...
