i have a cameo and a credit on this awesome
shoot the player video and it captures
victoria and i making squeeky sounds in
the sand with our feet...good times

just a quick note

was rather pleased to see three colour ads

by me in this weeks brag..one full page

colour too...as an act of sheer vanity

I took some pics

polar opposites

one is a brooding epic scaled street press ad for what

may be the best australian album of this year...

the other is so colourful and simple i am

shocked it came out of me

the took took

a very early concept sketch of the took took bird
from the childrens book i will be illustrating

be developed over the next few weeks with
the author

john columbus demo cd art

this image will also be carried through

to the poster art for the hoey residency in

novemeber

i dont think your ready to bust this jelly

so heres the poster minus the information

type in the mid -section again i'm steering

towards this unrealistic overly saturated

colour palette something i now prefer...

actually dead letter may be the last time

for a while i use realistic colouring

i dont think your ready to bust this jelly part 1

heres an early drawing of my moster sized jelly fish
for the fuzzy presented dance night DISCOASIS

its hard to tell from this where its going but

the finished image will be an explosion

of colour and playfullness

going to grace land

this was a race against time in construction...

all the elements produced at home but then

the final images were created at kinkos

using their photoshop..i had twenty dollars..

what i could get for that determined the

work..i think its got its moneys worth though

the town of magnificent tour

without a scanner or a main computer to work with

these images have been really hard to create as it had to

match the previous work done on said , dead computer

the town of magnificent

The town is really starting to take shape.

which is a good thing seeing this is due early

nextweek

sweded posters

cassettopus series

three options sent to fuzzy

cassettopus

final version of this poster up soon

new cuthbert art

this week will se two new poster for cuthbert

this is the first for their halloween gig..lead

singer richie dared me to do something a

little fucked up..i think ghosts of dead orphans

ascending to heaven after a halloween fire will

suffice ..this is also about 90 percent complete

there will be an addition of a pyro trick or treater

as well

one trick pony rides

so after a discussion a old story book

pop up style thing was asked for instead

of the water colours..oh well..i dig this anyway

..its nice to put evil red wolves on posters..

so heres hoping they like it

columbus back in the studio

the boys are back in the studio

recording a new ep for their hopetoun

month long residency..theres more of

these but this is just a taste

sometimes a change is better than a holiday

a mixture of water colour painting

and photography this is an image

i will translate to their EP art aswell

a sequel in the works

so i have decided to do a sequel poster

for john columbus for their upcoming

hopetoun residency

???????

there's something weird going on and

i think its gonna get weirder......

ooh secrets

art for arts sake

so to stop myself from going
a bit mental i've decided t try
and do an artwork for myself
hopefully everyday..this will
probably fail as soon as a drastic
deadline approaches but heres
my first piece called legs 11 minus
the 9

new art

again playing with colour and composition
more than epic scale ideas..i would like to have
a big toes dipping into both worlds in future

fundraiser and art collector

my new titles..so last nights fundraiser at ears vs eyes went
really well ..not only did i score a greedy hen for a great price
but my art work also fetched a very decent price ...twas a great
night and a fun auction

???????????

if you know what IT is...you MUST keep it a secret..

the whole marketing campaign hinges on it

sometimes a client asking for a completely

diffferent slant..mainly cause the old slant

scared them a bit..this new slant is a great

way to try completely different styles..this

style is the opposite of my usual but it felt

really good..maybe a mix of both will become

a main stay
