I embrace embarrassment. Failure and silliness are important to my work, and my gallery is certainly that - silly! I've been on Deviantart for over ten years and it's become a chronicle of my art journey, starting as a young teen up through my bachelors at university. Scroll back too far through my gallery, and my work is over dramatic, naive and delightfully silly without always meaning to be.

Over my honours year at UNSW Art & Design I took a break from personal work, and it's just now I'm returning to my personal projects. Upon returning to Deviantart, I considered starting a new account, or deleting my old work out of embarrassment, but decided not to. I haven't changed as I've aged - I've just become more aware of myself. I always want to remember my beginnings. I invite you to join me in my silly journey forward: may it stranger than ever before!

The most important of my projects is THE FALSE PROPHECY, a fantasy story I've been dabbling with since I was a child. Now, it's becoming an animated film. I'll be posting updates here on its progress - concepts, clips and all sorts of animated tidbits!

A synopsis:

Feathered dragons. Cuttlecows. Psychic mushrooms.

Zulabar's a strange place.

On a world far from Earth, a wild people find themselves invaded by alien traffickers. The Zulbilian people lose the ensuing war, and a Prophecy cracks through the brimstone. The alien Ambassador lies in a field of snow, lavender growing from his corpse, under the shadow of a great dragon. The remnants of the rebellion raise Ardea, a young ice dragon, to liberate her people from alien control, but an argument with her mothers estranges her to the entire organisation. Frustrated with their lack of action, Ardea leaves to take on the Ambassador and his army herself.

Ardea's the Dragon of Legend. She feels like there's been worse ideas.
