New official work: Kubo and the Two Strings 10th Anniversary for Laika Studios. Made at Empire Design. I'm thrilled to share this piece which was a joy to design and create. It pushed the boundaries of what I thought I was capable of but it ended up being my most favourite piece I've ever designed.

New Work: Wake Up Dead Man – A Knives Out Mystery by @rianjohnson.bsky.social I built the 3D tomb animation in Cinema 4D, with inspiration from the film’s production design and experimented with locking mechanisms to capture that signature 'Knives Out' puzzle-box style. Made at Empire Design.
NEW WORK: @rianjohnson.bsky.social's Wake Up Dead Man - Knives Out for Netflix. 3D sculpt + Animation in Cinema 4D. Made at Empire Design. Loved the challenge to sculpt the church from scratch from photos I took on a recce of the location and figuring out the wax material. Pretty proud of this!
New (official) work: @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein ⚡ (2025) Really enjoyed working on this campaign with the lovely folk at Netflix and it was an honour to have created this poster for the master of the macabre, Guillermo del Toro. Made at Empire Design.
I couldn't resist making my own fan poster for @realgdt.bsky.social's 'Frankenstein'. The tagline reminded me of Michelangelo's painting, 'The Creation of Man/Adam'. Call this a homage. #Frankenstein #FanPoster

Imaginary Worlds (2011) Medium: Pen on paper Really excited to have had my artwork put up as part of a local exhibition. First time I've seen it framed in 10 years. It's probably the piece of art I'm most proud of so it's a joy to share it with others in person!

New work: Bring Her Back f⭕r A24. Made by the team at Empire Design. I was thrilled to have got to work on a Philippou Brothers film after their break-out 'Talk to Me' and this one goes even further in cementing their twisted minds as great horror directors. #BringHerBack

It was about time someone updated the #StarWars Ident... #JarJarBinks
Believe the hype, Sinners is fucking sick! Ryan Coogler absolutely smashes it with this. Great performances, cinematography, production design and one of the best scores of the year. I went in knowing nothing and loved it. Go see it! #SinnersMovie
New work: 'A Thousand Blows' 3D Billboard for Disney Made at Empire Design. Video by Ocean Outdoor. I had a fun time working up this billboard from early 3D builds and concepts we created using footage we art directed from the motion shoot which was then refined by Ocean Outdoor. A great collab!
This is amazing! ❤️
Olly Gibbs@ollygibbs.bsky.social · 2y agoAs another bonus #Oscars illustration I had to give recognition to the beautiful film '#Flow' by @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. This one stood out for its unique approach to storytelling using only animals with no dialogue. Best Animated Feature Nominee 2025: Flow #Oscars2025
Thank you @DaytimeTVshow for having me on the show to interview about my #Oscars illustrations, a very surreal moment! www.wfla.com/daytime/how-...
