Night Night Pooh

Posted by May 28, 2012

Here’s a recent storyboard for Night Night Pooh, a soft toy nightlight for children which also plays music. I used to love my gloworm..

Raa Raa storyboard

Posted by May 15, 2012

A page from a recent Raa Raa The Noisy Lion storyboard.  He’s a toy lion and comes with various safari friends. On this job I did 4 storyboards in 3 days; they’re all for different products in the range but the same sort of set up each time – this one was for the playset.

You can see the rest of the storyboard here, and the finished ad here.

Business card finally materialises

Posted by May 1, 2012

I’ve spent rather too long working on my business cards.  I had an idea which was never right, but I kept working at it like throwing good money after bad.  Eventually in despair I scrapped the whole thing and started over, with a better idea which meant it all happened much faster.

Here’s one side:

And here’s the other:

It’s not quite as random as it might appear.  I wanted a person in it – they’re the prominent feature in most storyboards and my favourite thing to draw – and an animal because they’re important to me.  The bird is a Cock-of-the-rock, which is a daft but beautiful species I got quite attached to in Peru.  I wanted a sequence to take place over the two sides, partly because it was possible (by using moo) and partly because it would fit with the storyboarding theme.  There are a few tweaks I’ll make for the next batch, but for now this idea can stay.

M&S Storyboard

Posted by April 27, 2012

I was asked to do the storyboard for the Marks & Spencer Jubilee ad recently – here’s a page.  Very cool to do it, M&S can’t do a lot wrong in my eyes.  Featuring Twiggy, Myleene, Dannii and Jamie Redknapp.  The turnaround was very tight – Sunday afternoon to Monday lunch!  You can see the rest of the frames here and the finished ad here.

Originally I was asked to do it in colour but the client came back to ask if it could be in grey instead.  Here’s the first colour version..

McDonalds 1955 Storyboard

Posted by October 10, 2011

Here are a few pages from a recent storyboard for McDonalds.  A couple get in their car in a modern suburban street and as they drive to the McDonalds, their dress and environment change into a 1950s style.  The McDonalds they end up at is the Des Plaines branch in Illinois, which was built in 1955; hence the ad is named ‘1955’.

You can see the complete storyboard here and the finished ad here. Each frame was drawn up in A4.

Leapfrog Tag Storyboard


A recent storyboard for my rather quiet blog – am very busy with work at the moment and when I’m not doing that I’m focussing on drawing practice.  Will post something soon!

This is an educational toy with a little speaker that describes the picture/letter it’s pressed upon in a range of books.

MyStyle Jewellery Storyboards

Posted by June 9, 2011

Here’s an extract from a recent storyboard.  The client was MyStyle and the product is a make-it-yourself jewellery kit.  They’re the same people who make the Wild Science kit – it’s aimed at young teenage girls.  In these frames the girls make necklaces etc. from the various different kits you can buy.  You can see the complete boards here.



Wild Science Storyboards

Posted by April 22, 2011

Here’s an extract from a storyboard I did last month for the ‘Wild Science’ range of cosmetic products, aimed at young teenagers. The idea is that you create your own beauty treatments using a kit; in this ad the girls are making various concoctions and trying them out on each other.

Acura Storyboards

Posted by February 21, 2011

Here are some storyboard frames I did for an ad last year.  It was an awesome-sounding film for Acura cars, where dancers and visual effects swirl and gather in sync with the music played over the top.  The dancers were to be a kind of luminous white if I remember rightly, on a black background.  I didn’t get to see the end result but here are the frames – they don’t tell a story, they just needed a few done to represent various bits.  I went a bit photoshop crazy on this job to make the cars look as good as poss.
