Hi, I'm currently studying visual communication at the arts institute in Bournemouth, England, UK.

I'm looking for some work experience with a studio or simply shadowing an individual (if you'd want a helping hand in exchange for some valuable experience) in production illustration (including storyboards and matte paintings) and also character concepts.

Obviously I'm happily aware that this would be UNPAID. I'm looking for riches in experience!

I am available at any time of the year looking to find experience for as long as possible, I'm extremely flexible with dates etc.
I am away in Hong Kong between 15th august and 15th september, however the flights aren't booked and dates can be arranged in favour of work experience if needed.

As well as that I have general office experience and design skills should anybody be interested in using me for these skills aswell
Ultimatly I would be happy to work within a company that produces character concepts and production illustration making webpage layouts and/or any promotional material you may need.

Drawing skills:
Great Rendering skills with a variety of equipment (including pencils, charcoal, graphic markers, pen illustrations, oil and acrylic paints).

In the past I've focused on faces and enclosed spaces.
I am currently studying, in detail, figure drawing in proportion with anatomical studies to compliment this to gain a true understanding of the human form.

Program Skills (fluent in the following):
Photoshop CS - CS3
Illustrator CS - CS3
Flash MX - CS3
inDesign CS3
Dreamweaver MX - CS3

Programming (fluent - these are all relavent to create web pages):
CSS
HTML
Actionscript 2.0

I've made a website for a company that I am currently updating at:

I am currently creating my own portfolio/journal website at:

Also I have a journal where I document work processes and also log inspiration with any other thoughts I may have on a given day at:

And finally my sketchbook on this ConceptArt.org, this is a sketchbook and so no finished works appear here, I just want to get across how much self study I do:
