In my work at DJCAD, I have tried to capture atmospheric environments in a variety of settings through my backgrounds, informing the narrative of any project at hand. Combining my work as a storyboard artist with the ability to bring that world to life through my background art and compositing has been an infinitely rewarding practice that I continue with great enthusiasm.
My main project this year was working on the film "The Curious Happenings of No. 24, 10th Avenue" as a storyboarder, background artist and compositor, along with completing additional concept and background art for "TV Dinner". I also had the opportunity to conceptualise my personal project "Tinstar" with Ewan Wynne, and in turn work on his project "Lucy". Both of these have been a great experience for widening my expertise and pushing myself as an artist, gaining a great understanding of a professional pipeline process.

Tinstar Background
![A scene of a bar in the distant future. The walls are lined with fluorescent purple screens with broken glass strewn about the floor. The setting is simultaneously alien and familiar.](http://cdn-acquia.dundee.ac.uk/sites/default/files/styles/student_work_desktop_1440w/public/2024-05/matthew-jackson-image2.jpg?itok=CPaHns1i)
Lucy Background
![A heavily textured painterly landscape of a savanna. It is highly stylised with heavy brush texture. The sun is setting behind the distant African mountains.](http://cdn-acquia.dundee.ac.uk/sites/default/files/styles/student_work_desktop_1440w/public/2024-05/matthew-jackson-image3%20.jpg?itok=llJBKbrZ)
