TRADITIONAL

before I took up as a 3d animator I worked as a traditional model maker running my own model making business 'Sly Models' . Before that I was the assistant to Ron Mueck who was an immense inspiration and mentor to me for several years. thanks Ron.

 While working with Ron I helped in the development of a multi pose camel.  these two pictures were completed after Ron handed me the contract as he pursued his career as an artist. the photographer was Richard Mummery. another one of Richards photos. the Camel cigarettes campaign ran for about 13 more stills.  the majority of which were photographed by Malcolm Venville
