About me

Tall, blonde and Northern. Neal trained as a graphic designer and

along the way picked up the skills to illustrate and animate. He

has a fascination with robots, creatures and geometric forms and

loves creating complex compositions from simple shapes -

especially ones that are synchronised to music or sound. Bright

colours are always on the menu. Aside from his desk chair based

activities, he also gets up and performs as a VJ - taking his

passion from the studio to the stage.
