In case you’re wondering, Yes that is me riding a pizza unicorn.

I’m on Dribbble! Come check out some of my work before I get anxious and delete it.  Fox Insignia By Ben Kirby

I’ve loved the of aesthetics of ParaNorman, and their combination of 3D printing and stop motion animation.

I went and saw Matt Groening - Simpsons creator at the Sydney Opera house for the 2016 Graphic festival. Things come full circle for my animation career, having the chance to see the man that made a giant dent in the animation industry.  Also... Got an autograph and picture of Apu!!! Much thanks to my friend Randle whom graciously let me have it. 

An old logo I’ve been using for a long time. I think It’s time I retired the fellow. 

Much thanks to my work, National Geographic.

2016! New year. I’ve been holding myself to an animation short that hasn’t made much progress since it’s conception. If I haven’t made any progress perhaps its best to move on.  Here’s some Inspirational art, from the unfinished animation SPACE BLOOD. The antagonist above is a swirling mix of coral, crystal, shark and dog.  Perhaps I’lll revisit this another day!

Heres some more stuff I did on The Checkout - Genuinely, working in TV and collaborating assets you work one get changed, edited, and cut all together. Some of these are unfinished and some got improved vastly well by my seniors.  IT was tough but don’t get precious with your work, If it doesn’t work with the overall theme or story it will go. As pixar says ‘As an animator you need to be a storyteller first’. 

Third season is over - Onto the next gig!
