So a project I've been working on for the last few months has started airing on the Knowledge Network! "Luna, Chip & Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go" is a kids comedy cartoon focused on three young animal friends and their adventures in and around the small rural community of Eagle Creek! With songs from Daniel Ingram, and animation by the Cartoon Conrad crew, it's a fun little show, and I hope it'll be a hit with the young kids in it's target audience! Part of the reason I hope it's a hit is that the 3 main characters would make awesome plushies and I want one.

It's been a while since I last updated here, but I just wanted to update that, as of September 2021, I left Huminah Huminah, and rejoined Cartoon Conrad! HH was valuable experience, and now having the skills and confidence to animate at a professional level using ToonBoom Harmony is definitely something I'm glad to be taking forward through my career! And with this, brings a necessary update to my CV:
As you can see, I've already been pretty busy there! I'm looking forward to the projects I've been working on going live, because I've had plenty of pieces I can't wait to be able to include in my showreel!
And I appreciate the trust Cartoon Conrad shows in me by allowing me to work on the Retakes Team of the current project - it's one thing to animate, it's another to be allowed to modify existing animation and be trusted to bring others' work up to the necessary standards and meet client demands & expectations. Hopefully a sign of upward momentum to come! Figured it was time to spruce up the ol' showreel and try to get back on the professional animation horse! Included some of the animation exercises I've been doing lately to stay in practice, as well as some clips from a project that hopefully will see release sometime this year that I first worked on back in 2017! Enjoy!
A pilot that I worked on as a Clean-Up Artist has just won two awards from Screen Nova Scotia, taking both Best Aniamted Series, and the DANS Award for Outstanding Achievement in Animation! I'm stoked to have gotten to work on a project that managed to get that level of recognition, and I'm excited to see where the project will go from here. I would love the opportunity to work on it again once I'm back in Canada.
That image is from when I left Bristol in 2016, but the feeling is relevant again. Despite my best efforts, I'm not gonna be able to get permanent residency in time to stay in Canada. I am still trying, and I know I'm applicable to get the PR classification I'm aiming for, but as it stands, I'm going to have to go back to England for the time being. I'm gonna be stepping away from paid animation work (freelancing will complicate my tax situation, and I'd rather keep it simple for now), and work on getting myself back to Canada, where I have an open offer from Cartoon Conrad to return as soon as I'm legal to. It hurts to accept all of this as actually happening, but my visa expires on the 5th March, so I'm out of time to defer dealing with it any longer.
I will be working on personal art and projects in the mean time, but I currently have no plans to accept any substantial studio animation work for the duration of my time away from Canada. The show I've been working on and that I was working on last summer is now available to watch online! Season one is up on the CBC website now, with season two likely coming later this year! Addison is about a young inventor and her friends setting out to solve the mysteries of their local neighbourhood. It airs on CBC every Saturday at 10am. Gotta say - it feels pretty great to have my name in the credits of an actual TV show! Hopefully the first of many!
The first season of the first show I worked on at Cartoon Conrad is now available to watch on Netflix! I animated on the second half of the season, and helped with animation revisions on various episodes of the first half, as well as touching up backgrounds occasionally when needed. My name's even in the credits for at least some of the episodes! Feels good to be a part of a real show for the first time. At this point, I'm currently working on a different show, destined for television on CBC, but it'll be interesting to see if We're Lalaloopsy does well enough to get a second season.
A webtoon I helped animate on at Cartoon Conrad has gone online! I worked on the winter and Christmas specials for the show "Max and Midnight", and they're available to watch on YouTube now. Catch the embeds below:
