His film work includes 'Interview With the Vampire', 'Dracula', 'Terminator 2', 'Hook', 'Peter Pan', 'Charlotte's Web', 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', 'The Avengers', 'Guardians of the Galaxy', and 'Star Wars Episode VII'. He is also a Chesley nominated illustrator, having illustrated books ranging from 'Fighting Fantasy' to J.R.R.Tolkien's 'The Hobbit'.
