Nice illustration work Darryl. One of my favourite franchises..even after the last few movies . I worked in film and video for a while. Made me want to poke my eyes out.

Ridley had us doing 10 hour days minimum. By the time I got back to where I was staying each day, I pretty much ate and flaked out straight away! One cool thing about working on a big film like that was the food!! Oh man - we ate like royalty every day. I would have just worked for the food alone! But it was a cool experience. Seeing your work on the big screen is cool.

I worked on Red Dog: True Blue also. Script and artwork stuff. That was pretty cool too but different experience to AC.

I mostly worked on promos and advertising. Made some short films. Heaps of storyboarding.

I took a job with the NT police making training videos, 2 years of that was enough for me. I still do the odd bit of work here and there for some friends in the industry, but I've pulled back a lot as its so creatively exhausting. I had a job with Disney through a friends production company that went from being 6 concepts to 144 drawings including animation frames and nearly had a breakdown.

Boring old signage pays the bills and lets me do my own thing creatively.

I had a look at your Facebook page, some nice gigs there man. You approach to contemporary Indigenous work is good to see, I went to art school with Christian Thompson who certainly knows how to break that mould as well. He is also one of the funniest people I've ever met, really happy to see how well he's done for himself.
