With a wave of animation projects on the horizon, I’ve started relearning how to draw through a small series of Pokémon SoulSilver-inspired character illustrations. Blending my current style with techniques from my old animation work, the project feels like the first step back into a creative medium I’ve deeply missed.

Visitors From Dreams was once again invited by Tamworth Regional Gallery to conduct a series of school holiday workshops, but rather than focus on groups making stop motion films it was decided that we would let everyone tell their own stories through a series of illustrations.

6 illustrations after a several long hiatus. Feeling rusty, but that hopefully fades with time.

Visitors From Dreams was invited by Tamworth Regional Gallery to conduct a series of school holiday workshops as part of the Two Girls From Amoonguna touring exhibition. Held over two days, the workshops introduced students to the art of stop-motion animation, specifically using paper cut-outs.

Invited to take part in not one, but two seperate “reanimated” projects, all in a single month.

5 Illustrations, but only one subject.

Wrapping up April with 10 illustrations. Memes, games and animated kids films all featuring this month.

Visitors From Dreams was engaged by Harps Manufacturing to create an instructional video for their new Bray Ware Tap tool, doubling as a marketing piece. To differentiate it from the polished, generic content common in the plumbing sector, the team adopted the aesthetic of a 1970s industrial film. The result helped position Harps as a company taking a more practical, hands-on approach to solving real-world plumbing challenges.

6 Illustrations and some short animation from throughout the month of March.
