COLLABORATORS
All the projects on this website are the result of collaboration and teamwork. Here is a gallery of pictures featuring some of the talented artists and craftsmen I've been lucky enough to work with over the years, several of whom have become part of a regular 'family' from project to project - and a handful of mentors from whom I have learnt so much. 'Thank You' to you all.

Steven Spielberg and Neil Boyle - it was Steven Spielberg's influence that allowed Who Framed Roger Rabbit to finally go into production after many years in 'development hell'. Without this movie - my first ever job in the industry - I would never have met my mentor Richard Williams, nor many of the other people on this page.

Legendary director David Fincher, with Neil Boyle - Fincher is the executive producer of Love Death + Robots, for which I've been lucky enough to animate on two episodes.
