Often in my role as a storyboard artist I can work on a project and never hear of it again – projects get cancelled, clients decide to use another concept – many reasons.

But I thought I’d show an advert by one of my clients, NeamTV, for the VTech playset “Toot Toot Friends.” It’s got my dabs all over it.

First of all, I was hired to create the back drop of the set. Here’s a few images from the set of my artwork, printed IRL at huge size.

In addition, I was asked to storyboard this advert:

“Ye Olde New England” Concept paintings.

Ye Olde New England.

This series of concept paintings was created to support a pitch deck for an animated project set in a post-apocalyptic, fantasy-driven world. The work focuses on key moments from the script—capturing characters, environments, and fragments of story around a mad king and the fractured realm he rules.

The brief called for expressive scene-setting to help visualise the world during early development. I produced a mixture of character illustrations, background paintings, and atmospheric scenes, designed to give a strong sense of tone and possibility without locking the narrative into a fixed visual style.

“Benny and the Jets” Storyboards and Animatic

Benny & the Jets

Music Video Concept

`This project involved creating concept visuals and storyboards for a pitch supporting a reissue of Elton John’s Bennie and the Jets. The treatment imagined a 1950s dive bar setting disrupted by the sudden arrival of futuristic women, blending retro Americana with playful B-movie science fiction influences.

The work included a series of keyframes, character concepts, and storyboard sequences, along with animatics to help visualise pacing and mood for the pitch presentation.

…and here’s the final pitch film – featuring my storyboards and animated sections.
