Sympatico DVD cover

I was recently approached by 'trumpet extraordinaire' (Clint Allen) to create a little DVD cover for an experimental group called 'Sympatico' (trumpet, piano, percussion, laptop). Keep an hear out for them!

Fundamentalism and Capoeira

Here is a little drawing I made for my Capoeira teacher's blog '4Capoeira thoughts'. In a series of 3 post he talks about Fundamentalism as a modern worldwide phenomenon and how it affects the practice of the different styles of Capoeira and inter-group cooperation. Very interesting blog even if you are not entirely into Capoeira.
Peace!

Ozanimate also aims to provide a number of resources like a list of schools, studios and Animation festivals in Australia to help both animation student and professionals.

So come have abrowse and join the site to share ideas, comment on videos, give feedback or even become a contributor by writing posts! The goal is to have this place for everyone and by everyone to help our industry grow by showcasing our local talent!

Big Hugs!!

Paul,

Merry Christmas everyone!

I was walking in the city mall on Friday and was amazed at the complete Christmas shopping madness. So in these times of mass consumerism I think we should think of the persons who cannot afford a roof over the heads...
Merry Christmas & Joyeux Noel!

Happy Hannukah everyone!

Griffith Graduates Screening 2009

Bonjour blogue!

Just thought I'd share some pictures from yesterday's screening! It was a really good one this year and the fresh graduates have definitely raised the bar! Congrats to all of you guys for producing such wonderful work! It gives me great hope for the future of the industry in Australia and in Brisbane in particular!
Amongst my favourites of the night were: 'Knightmouse' (by Josh Huf, Max Cowen and Josh Anguix) 'Defective Detective' (by Andy Copeland, John Grist, Luke Mathers and Francis Stanton) and my pick of the bunch was Samuel Lewis stop-motion jewel: 'Here be Treasure' (exactly the type of short-film that festivals dig!).

sweet escape

Capoeira flyer design

Hey friends,

Here is the final look for the advertising campaign I worked on for the Capoeira group led by Contra Mestre Eurico in Brisbane and Coolangatta. It took abit of refining but thanks to Eurico's feedback we are pretty happy with the end result. The idea was to show the diversity capoeira as to offer as an art form: Capoeira is a mix of Dance, Music, martial arts, and acrobatics.
The blending off all these aspects and off all the different people from various backgrounds, gender and races who practice capoeira all over the world is also reflected in each illustration and within the look of the title.

Muito Axé câmaras, e muito obrigado!
