I was involved in The Secret of Kells from early stages of development and helped form the visual style of the film from early pre-production (2001). The film story and theme changed through the years as Cartoon Saloon searched for financing and I continuously worked with the director Tomm Moore to adapt the visual alongside the changes. When production finally was to begin, I worked as the Art Director until finish; from design, colour design, location design through to Scene Illustrations, Key Backgrounds and final compositing.
A selection of the work I produced through these years is shown here..
