my lost weekend (a story)

2006-06-06T22:16:00.000Z

We had done a lot of work (here's Patrick resting) ...

then summer approached and we finished our films...

(Matty and my colleague Dave Cromwell)

...so the party started

2006-06-06T22:08:00.000Z

...later I lost my gravity for a few minutes(Dave & Frank will testify)

the party kept going and a fire truck supplied disco lighting

nohema was there

and there ain't no partying without wise words from a bearded man

2006-06-06T17:11:00.000Z

a pair of converse were reunited after years of seperation...

...then there was madness

I blanked out and woke up between two trees

next stop Brighton, England

A Scandinavian party

So! me and Dave Cromwell finished our film Bert on time for the external examiners. Now we get one more week to tweek and tinker with our final product. It's almost 2 minutes long and a lot of work put into it.

Following is an example of an ugly "idea drawing" evolving slowly into the final product.

the ugly duckling of drawings

followed by a tonal study

and finally it turned into a beautifull swan

The film will be premiered in the Irish Film Center on June 1st. Everybody invited ofcourse!

And made under guidence from grandfather Gisli. When he was my age he fixed ships and engines. Today he uses his metal bending experience to sculpt his own art.

Dublin things - the toilets

2006-03-08T20:27:00.000Z

Many public toilets are lit with black-lights so that heroin addicts can't see their veins and get high. It's also very 80's, very hip, very retro and very cool.

Bert...

2006-03-08T20:13:00.000Z

...is the star of the short film I am making with my good mate Dave Cromwell.
Bert's appearance has changed a bit. This is only a drawing from conceptual stages. I'll be posting stuff from the film regularily untill the world premiere in dublin in early June.

That's my flatmate Dave in our living room. He studies fine art. The room is messy because we are in the middle of deadlines (and lets face it, we are men)

Thank you all for your comments, it's cool 'cos it looks like I've got friends :D

A layout I did for college 2 years ago. I like layouts, except they take too much time and I like going out every now and then. Anyway I am currently working on my end of the year project and it shall be announced that henceforth it will be called "Ode to drinking".
Those who oppose can be fruitfull and multiply.
