AJ Jefferies (MOONJAM) is a multi-disciplinary digital artist, illustrator, retoucher, character designer, animator, and director. He has been creating images, characters, and animations for the advertising, gaming, and entertainment industries since 2001.

In this episode, AJ dives into making his 3D animated short films Peas and Horse, fuelled by wacky ideas and a desire to learn new 3D animation technology.

AJ, a versatile 3D Artist, explains the chaotic yet creative nature of the job. We also discuss his involvement with The Monster Project, which helps children recognise the power of their imaginations and pursue their creative potential.

And don't miss AJ's story about making a tiny 3D Ryan Gosling from The Fall Guy. It started as a 3D illustration for Empire Magazine, escalated into physical toys, and even made it into the hands of Ryan Gosling himself.

This episode offers great insights into navigating a 3D artist career, creating animated short films, and enjoying the process as a 3D artist.
