Amongst Inspiration: Part 1 - With Illustrator Chris Judge

Part 1 of my new mini-film series 'Amongst Inspiration' is up live now. 

I was really excited to spend a a few hours with Dublin based illustrator Chris judge as we chatted about inspiration.

The idea for this series came when I was having a coffee on King Street in Sydney's Newtown in April. I was telling one of my oldest mates (who is currently exploring photography) about the creative people I'd been meeting in Dublin. As we talked about studios, illustrators, designers, the Canon Vs. Nikon debate, new music & how good Sydney coffee was it struck me that as an Aussie based in Dublin, I'd met people here that I never would have met had I stayed in Sydney.

I wondered about the more interesting creatives I'd met. The ones with real 'Dublin' stories. The ones who had inspired me. What inspired them? I wondered.....

And so, in this, the first in a series of inspiration led mini-films, we spend 2 minutes in the studio with illustrator Chris Judge.

Chris' illustration work includes the glorious picture book 'The Lonely Beast', 'Darth Dredd' for the 2009 Vader Project in London's Andy Warhol Museum, much loved Dublin culinary icon Pablo Picanté, work for Mini, Vodafone & 3 Mobile. More recently Chris has illustrated the Sparkhead character for ESB's 'Share The Energy' campaign at Irish Music Festival, Electric Picnic. 

A big thanks to Chris Judge & Cathy Davey for the use of the lovely song 'Little Red'.

I'm delighted that the mini-film has already been featured on LostAtEMinor.com, Freshbump.com, Sytheastwood.com, Scamp.ie, Picture Book Davy, For The Love Of, & Frequency.com & illustrationmundo.com
