Storyboard: Tea for Two
‘Tea for Two’ was my first storyboard project for the class ‘Writing for Animation – 181B,’ at UCLA. This first board topic required the following: adaptation of published material with verbal content (story, poem, song etc.) presented in a story board format. I chose an adaptation of the song, ‘Tea for Two.’
From Fall Quarter, 2006.
Super Furry Animals’ Poster
‘Super,’ pen and ink and photoshop. Another personal poster project for the band, Super Furry Animals.
This started off as a pen and ink drawing. However, I wasn’t at all happy with the original drawing so I coloured the pen and ink image in Photoshop. As soon as I started the drawing I knew it wasn’t going to turn out well…so of course it didn’t.
Here’s the original pen and ink drawing.

Hello Sunshine
We moved and are all settled in again. This is the final move before we move again in the autumn. Say what you will about Ikea, but their furniture is really great for breaking down into small, moveable bits and it made our move a lot easier (though it was still stressful). One thing that is always good about moving is that it forces us (me) to pare down our (my) stuff. I have more things than Angie as I tend to be a bit of a pack rat and sometimes keep things for sentimental reasons or because I think something will be a good resource for a drawing etc. For example, I have a small, but growing, collection of dead insects and insect bits that I have found on walks. During this last move I tried really hard to be ruthless about my possessions and got rid of quite a few boxes of stuff. I did get to keep my insect bits though.
During the move I listened quite a bit to the Super Furry Animals, a brilliant Welsh band who even sing in Welsh. When I was listening to them I started to put images to some of the songs and decided to create one of the series of images in a comic strip format. These images go along with the song, Hello Sunshine, off the album Phantom Power. The images were drawn with Sakura pens on Bristol Board (2 boards, at 9″ x 12″).
Here are the lyrics to Hello Sunshine by Super Furry Animals:
So hard to say goodbye
Meaning it today
I’ve said goodbye before
Leaving you alone
By the sea
So hard to say goodbye
Hello sunshine
Come into my life
In honesty it’s been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life
I’m a minger
You’re a minger too
So come on minger
I want to ming with you
In honesty it’s been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life
You’re not so innocent
You’re a disgrace to your country
If you fled a million miles
I’d chase you for a day
If I could be bothered
Hello sunshine
Come into my life

Bloc Party Poster
I’ve been itching to make a poster so I decided to make one for a band I like called Bloc Party. The poster references the song ‘So Here We Are’ off the album Silent Alarm. I created all the line work in Freehand and Illustrator and then coloured the design in Photoshop.
