He has worked on this show since the start.
This website is a small interview with him about season 3 of game of thrones:
In the talk he gave us he was saying how he broke into the industry and was telling us about the struggles of being a freelance story boarder. hearing about his life was really interesting and showed us how much effort you go through to get where you want to be in life. it was interesting hearing about what his job was all about and what his role was in everything he had worked on. he talked about the relationship between the director and the storyboarder and how much vision he can put into the stories.
He also co-founds an Irish animation company with his brother called Rogue Rocket
Art for game of thrones:
Most of his work for game of thrones involves sketching out an episode with the directors vision in mind. He has also contributed to creature design for the dragons, dire wolves and the three eyed raven and has also contributed to the design on the weapons. He created the artwork that features in the complete guide to westeros, which is a series of short videos on the game of thrones season 1 Blu-ray set.
