Preloaded “Taggers” Pitch to BBC
As part of a pitch to the BBC for an online animation series called “Taggers”. Those fantastic Shoreditch creatives,”Preloaded”, were leading the job. I did these character, background & concept designs, starting as always on paper & finishing all artwork in Flash.
Some roughs…
Background inks & finishes…
Characters…
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.
These characters were done for a magazine article comparing pay between those in the catering industry & those in other sectors such as finance, services & law. The publication was “Food Service Director” magazine, probably the Vogue of the catering industry, but obscure to the rest of us.

BBC Jam: French Learning.
Characters & designs for the ill-fated BBC Jam. This was just a small part of the BBC’s efforts to provide online learning covering almost every subject in the British school curriculum. The brief here was to turn “live-action” (actors) characters from a short series of French learning films into cartoon characters we could use for online games & tasks such as putting together comic strips. Jam ended in tatters leaving a lot of contributors who had put their heart & soul into this fantastic project, utterly deflated. We believed in the project & speaking for myself, believed it would help children with their studies. It’s downfall was a great shame.
BBC Jam “Les Choix” Comic Strips
Some of the comic strips for BBC Jam “Les Choix” (see above), & how they looked as rough drafts.
BBC Jam
Character designs for BBC Jam online learning games & animations, made in Flash. This was also for Jam’s French learning section. The brief was to create a series of characters from a fictional TV studio that students could use to make & edit their own short films in French.
