Hi again #PortfolioDay ! I'm a #VFX artist working in film/animation ( lighting/comp ). Here are some recent projects that I contributed to. Currently working on some cool upcoming movies ( strictly under NDA ).

'Filming The Odyssey: Inside the Making of Christopher Nolan's Modern Epic' will be out on August 25. 280 pages, hard cover. I'll likely be picking up a copy for review. AMZ US- amzn.to/4fbBojn AMZ CA- amzn.to/3QTNB4n AMZ UK- amzn.to/4gEJfIF AMZ JP- amzn.to/4fhSk7Q

I just updated my Art Books Review page- 33 titles so far for 2026, 1111 in total since 2009. Below are some of the latest titles review; explore the full list here- halcyonrealms.com/store/

'The Art Of Star Wars : Andor' is a sumptuous 288 pages hardcover volume packed with gorgeous concept art from S1 + S2 of the critically acclaimed sci-fi series; the TV prequel to Rogue One. Highly recommended. Explore more in my review- halcyonrealms.com/books/the-ar...

The cover art doesn't do the book justice at all, but Masaaki Yuasa's 'Animation Projects' sketchbook is positively jam-packed with delightful visdev illustrations. The book was out of print for a long time but is finally available again. See more in my review- halcyonrealms.com/anime/masaak...

Now writing the review for 'The Art Of Star Wars: Andor'. The book delivers both quality & quantity, packing in splendid visdev art from S1 + S2 in a big hardcover volume spanning almost 300 pages. Highly recommended. My full review coming soon; purchase link in comments section below 👇

The 6th book from the 'Hayao Miyazaki Imageboard Series' is a double feature of Whisper Of The Heart / On Your Mark. Most, if not all of the concept art/storyboards for On Your Mark have never been published before. Explore more in my review- halcyonrealms.com/books/whispe...

Some more pictures of the Ron Mueck exhibition that I saw in Tokyo, ongoing till late Sep. Really fascinating stuff. There's also an accompanying art book which I will review soon; see more here - halcyonrealms.com/travel/tokyo...

With stylistic influences by Modigliani & Gustav Klimt, 'Window Shopping' is a beautiful fashion illustration art book by Kelly Beeman I discovered in a museum shop in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo. Love the Superflat style. Explore more in my review- halcyonrealms.com/books/kelly-...

More photos of Otomo's 'Procession Spin' bas-relief sculpture that I saw in Tokyo last month. An elaborate & fascinating art piece that is well worth a visit IMHO. See more in my post- halcyonrealms.com/travel/tokyo...

ICYMI - Art Book for Studio 4°C's anime adaptation of 'ALL YOU NEED IS KILL' (2026). The film seems to have flown under the radar for the most part, but there's some very cool character/mecha designs & BG art. Explore more in my review- halcyonrealms.com/books/all-yo...

Just ordered the Perfect Blue 4K UHD steelbook for $33 on AMZ. I think it's a reasonable price for a 3 disc set ( 1 4K UHD disc + 2 SD blu-rays ). Didn't need all that extra fluff from the earlier box-set release anyway- amzn.to/4vtz6TX

When I was working on the #VFX for the film at ILM it was a full color workflow, for reasons as outlined below. I did not see the B&W version of the completed series until the official release. It looks spectacular !

Nostalgic anime treasures abound at Mandarake Akihabara. The business is doing so well it has expanded to a whole other building across the road.

Currently writing the book review for Yasushi Nirasawa's 'Creature Core' and this 'Failed Guyver' figure is filling me with intrigue... This is a long out of print book that has finally been re-published again. My review coming soon- AMZ JAPAN- amzn.to/4ve70ex CDJAPAN- shorturl.at/Stfx9

Glad to see Sam Raimi’s ‘Send Help’ as the No.1 movie playing on Disney+ Canada. I worked on the #VFX for the 🐗 hunt sequence at ILM last year.
