Client: Schwarzkopf. Director: Jake Nava. Currently in production, this was for one of two 20 second commercials (plus 30 sec option) starring Heidi Klum. Making the character look exactly like Klum was not part of the brief at the time.
I’ve done storyboards for a number of TV commercials for the global market, as well as some music videos, mostly working for agencies like Independent & FM Rocks over the last 5 years. I’m based in London & can work in-house or remotely via internet broadband, so turnaround can be quick.
Selection of my favourite individual frames from various boards over the last 5 years. I’m often called in to amend existing boards for commercials, or just to do some concept illustrations like this.
As part of a pitch for an online animation series called “Taggers”, a tale of young graffiti artists, and their trials and tribulations. Those fantastic Shoreditch creatives,”Preloaded”, were leading the job. I produced these character, background and concept designs, starting as always on paper and finishing all artwork in Flash.
Some roughs…
Background inks and finishes…
Characters…
Client: HSBC. Director: Jake Nava. This was part of HSBC’s “Everyone looks at the world from a different point of view. What’s your point of view?” campaign. In this commercial we have an exuberant Brazilian tour guide, throwing his all into celebrating the world-famous “Maracana” stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Client: Del Monte (fruit juices). Director: Erik Van Wyk. Erik gave me first break in storyboards. I had no examples to show but he just liked my drawing style. We did loads of ads together.
A selection of boards for Director Jake Nava, one of the best in the business, working for Jake is never dull.
Client: Rimmel. Director: Jake Nava. This was one of many Nava’s Rimmel ads starring Kate Moss.
Client: Nathalie Imbruglia. Director: Jake Nava. Music promo for the artist’s ”Shiver” single. We were in the same hotel at one point, but I was never allowed to meet her. I didn’t ask, they just told me.
Client: George Michael. Director: Jake Nava. Music promo for the artist’s ”An Easier Affair” single. Some concept art also had to be done for this.
The first time anyone’s asked me to specifically illustrate white goods, this made me realise I could actually draw a half-decent fridge when called upon. These were for Gadgetmedia whose client, Stratagene, sell special storage kit for pharmaceutical goods, & needed a website revamp. I provided these new illos to replace some cartoon style fridges. Will upload grabs from the website when it goes live.
