Things I Do

A suit of armour made from fibreglass, scratch built from body casts of the guy who comissioned the suit. The stylings are drawn from egyptian art but the form of the armour was made up.

A costume made for a Larp ran by my brother in California, made very fast on a tight budget. The event ran at night though which meant I could get away with something that gave the impression of something menacing without having to stand up to closer scrutiny. The day after the event there happened to be an open day on the Stanford campus so myself and a friend Daniel decided we should do some performance art and have the monster chasing a human marine character around campus. One small girl in particular wanted the monster to win and kept pointing out where the marine was hiding.

December 2006

Helmet made out of fibreglass. While working at RA Props we were doing the stage production of Spamalot. Turned out we had made too many Knights of Ni helmets, so I took one of the spare ones and did it up for my own amusement.

March 2006

Again while working at RA Props, got given some clothes to paint bronzy gold. Turned out they were used for the living statue in the film 'Hot Fuzz'.

February 2006

A number of bird heads and three left wings. Worked on them with a team of others at RA Props I think they were for a German production of Shakespeare?

January 2006

While working for RA Props, I worked on a load of bits and bobs for the London production of Sir Spam-a-Lot

January 2006

Back when I was working at RA Props I headed up a small team making the Tin Man costume for the London production of Wicked. They had four different guys who the costume had to fit, each with a radically different body shape and they only wanted three complete sets.

November 2005

First project I was ever given at RA Props. A cat mask for an opera.

July 2005

I wanted to make some Eastern styled ringmail. A common feature of Eastern ringmail and chainmail is an ornate circular body plate. Rather than going to all the trouble of crafting such a plate, I found a brass tea tray which I cut the rim from, drilled appropriate holes and shaped. This plate has upon it what appears to be a fire-breathing chicken, an unexpected bonus.

June 2005

A sculpture created in Second Life. It is comprised entirely of tori arranged in a circle and rotated in a wave around the circle. Through pictures is really not the way to view the work. To really get a feel for it you have to be seeing it in 3D space.
