storyboard stills and collage art illustrations from sian roper mixed media collage artist animator showreel, includes bright bold eclectic high energy artwork

An eclectic 1 minute showreel bringing together a selection of personal projects and client commissions, showcasing some of my favourite collage animation and motion snippets to date.

Spanning editorial illustration, visual storytelling and creative projects, this collection offers a snapshot of my practice as a mixed media collage artist and animator.

Putting this edit together gave me a chance to reflect on how my creative practice has evolved. Before, I was often trying to recreate the tactile qualities of handmade collage using digital techniques alone. Increasingly, I'm now bringing analogue and digital processes together, combining scanned and printed papers, cut-out imagery, hand-drawn marks, paint textures and other found materials with digital collage, compositing and animation.

Working between the two mediums allows me to embrace the imperfections, unexpected combinations and physical qualities of traditional collage, while using digital tools to experiment with composition, colour, layering, movement and transitions. The result is a visual language that balances handmade character with digital precision.

​​​​​​​I'm always interested in hearing from and collaborating with publications, creative studios, agencies and brands who are looking for distinctive, bold and tactile collage illustration or animation for a particular brief.
