Ghostbusters

Here's something that was a playful bit of fun.

Made for the folks at Silver Screen Society for the month long tribute post to Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2.

I went a bit mental with this piece but i wanted to produce something which was a bit informal and playful just like the films themselves.

check out the Silver Screen Society website for the other fantastic ills on ghostbusters and other films:

illostribute: A tribute to Earl Oliver Hurst

illostribute has just put up its 4th tribute post, this time paying tribute to Earl Oliver Hurst and his stunning body of work.

Above is my tribute piece to Hurst which, while looking for the potential candidate to base the tribute on. This one caught my eye with the subject matter being placed further away rather than the up close and personal subjects that feature in most of hurst's work.

This post has some really great tributes created by the likes of Ben Newman, Curt Melo, Cesar Barcelo, Gabriel Corbera and of course, illostribute's founder Toby Than Neighbors.

Joe 90

inspired by the opening credits of Gerry Anderson's classic Joe 90.

This is my take on the fancy machinery that gives joe his amazing intellect to diffuse bombs and such.

man, i wish they still did shows like this, would be great to work on.

the intro to the show can be found on youtube here.
