Mission America

These are some of the backgrounds that I painted for a video game called "Mission America". It was all about the American revolution. I was taught a little history as I worked on this one. Also had the pleasure of working with Brad Cayford on this project. An amazing artist who was working for Copernicus at the time.

This is a series of BG's that I have been working on. These are the first three with a few more on the go.

These are some of the side gigs that I have done in between projects. They are personalized illustrations that people have commissioned me to do. Each one has been done to suit whatever the client wants.

I decided to paint a few portraits with my recent time off. This is the first, so be kind. Better ones to come.

One of the more recent paintings that I've done. It kind of ties in with the warped city BG's.

A few random things that I did a little while back.

This was a logo idea for a local female roller derby team.

These are some of the BG's that I did for the Emmy nominated kids show "Artopia". Check it out at http://www.thirteen.org/artopia/watch.html

Some of my latest concept work.

These are a few things that I did in school. They are pretty old but show some of the training I was given at Max the Mutt

Finally ! My blog is born!

Hi there, to any one who is visiting,

This is my very first blog and I am not sure what I am supposed to write in this column besides blah blah blah, hello my name is Thomas and I like to do drawings. Well, I guess I will just say a few things about my self and why I have chosen to start a blog.
I am a 26 year old background artist/post production/concept artist/animator presently located in beautiful downtown Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada. I have been employed with Copernicus Studios for the past 3 years and am classically trained by Max the Mutt Animation school located in Toronto, ON.
In the past 3 years I have had the pleasure of having many job titles and trained in several parts of the industry. From animation to post production, background design, and I am currently working as the background supervisor for Copernicus Studios latest project.
I have been beating around the bush to start a blog ever since I entered the industry but never seemed to have the time to get one started. I know that is a horrible excuse and I realize that now, so this is me rectifying my procrastination and finally putting myself out there!
Most of the work that I am presently doing is digital painting but my medium changes with my mood, so you may see a lot of different stuff on my blog. I hope you enjoy what you see and if you are someone looking to have a personal painting done, feel free to contact me by e-mail. I am always looking for new work to do and new ideas to work with.

Thanks,

Tom Bradnam
