Tea Timings

 Working my way through the long list of images for Omcha.

Going well so far!

Omcha Branding Project

Following on from the success of the animated brewing guide, I have been commissioned to make a series of bespoke packaging labels for all the tea varieties and blends in the Omcha range - to keep a consistent visual language with the imagery I already made. 

It's an exciting (if slightly daunting) project, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity. In short time my illustrations will be on packaging for people to purchase around the world!

I'm already working through a large list of possible labels that I've been given - which will be used for current or future tea products.

Some work in progress images. The range is expected to launch around June 2025.

 It would seem that the show reboot I was writing for has moved production internally. There are still 3 and a half episodes I wrote that have not yet been produced - if they make it to launch I will update here.

My services as an animatic artist and writer are still available to those interested. Example below:

Omcha Tea Guide

 I'm so happy to announce that the final version of the animated tea brewing guide is now available!

Watch now at OMCHA.CO.UK

This was a great project and I look forward to future collaborations with Omcha!

You've Got to be Kidi(ng) Bli!

 Two more episodes I wrote for Kidibli have gone live!

Episode 4
Kidi Triggers an Alarm

Episode 6
Spider Scare

Fire Fire! Kidibli Premiere 🔥🔥

 The first episode of the Kidibli reboot has gone live! In fact, the first two episodes have!

The first about waffles in the toaster is the final version of the pilot that I created the animatic for. The second is an episode I actually wrote(!) about a cat getting stuck in a tree.

Watch them both below here:

This was a really fun project to work on, and figure out the brand new format for the show. There's a couple more episodes I have written that should come out in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

It was great to work closely with Jeremy Krause again, and fellow writer Jessie Stephenson (quite possibly our first project since Popeye!) looking forward to many more as the series progresses.

Omcha Updates

 Things have progressed on the tea project. The client was generally happy with the aesthetic and general direction of things - but they wanted a different teapot design, so I reworked the visuals to match up.

At this stage the final still illustrations are complete and I we have an approved flyer!

I also printed a very rough mockup at home for the final look, to check legibility. It came out fine, but my guillotine chewed it up horribly, so not exactly display-worthy!

The animation will be finished a bit later - I have some other projects on my plate at the moment - but we can switch focus soon. The new teapot design does present some new challenges (it's see-through, so I have to include some animation for the tea and the leaves inside) but thankfully it is a simple art style, so it is more of a volume game.

I will share once it is complete.
