Ubatuber Productions: Mermature

Today I made the armature for a supporting character in my Seaclops short...I'm still hammering out the details of the story, but it will feature my clops and a singing mermaid...

I am Jeffrey Roché...

...an artist, exploring techniques in any and all media, though some of my favorites include charcoal, acrylic & oil painting, and woodcut printmaking. My focus over the past five years or so has been stop-motion animation, which draws on every ounce of my creativity, from sculpting and painting to photography, and everything in between.

No matter which medium I am working in, my themes remain consistent. I consider myself to be a Modern Magical Realist, incorporating magical or mythical elements into otherwise everyday settings and situations. Magic exists in the mundane, all around us in daily life, but especially here in New Orleans. There is a mystical vibe in this city that inspires me as an artist. I've felt it all my life, under the moss-covered oaks of City Park, on the wrought-iron balconies of the French Quarter, near the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, or amidst the cold marble of Lafayette Cemetery.

Magic exists here if you know where to look...
