FEAST Poster Competition

I entered the poster competition for Feast this year, I widdled down my designs to the two above I liked, I ended up submitting the one on the right, however I'm kicking myself now I think I should have put in the one on the left. Regardless the winning design wasn't all to different from mine, just stuck to the brief abit more so at least I was on the right path, just have to set my sights on next year. Check out the winning design at http://www.feast.org.au/about/Latest-News.aspx

Tiger Shark

I'm probably about half way through my Tiger Shark painting, I've being going nuts with comic books paintings so far done a big Batman and a big Robin VS Nightwing. Having alot of fun. Referencing my works alot from Jim Lee's work, very talented and inspiring individual hope to be able to consider myself a talent like him one day, I like to set the bar high.

Finger Mag

A new publication to hit the streets of Adelaide I was lucky enough to have Greenhill Galleries use my old mug for the Advertisment they placed in the first issue for their Australia day exhibition, which I also had the opportunity of displaying my work, sold a few which is always exciting, shame I didn't get my money until four months later. Love the art world :)

SketchPad2

More drawings from the sketchpad, not my own original designs though.

SketchPad

I thought I should start including some images from my sketchbooks, just to show my process and a completely different side to my work, since I normally only put out huge paintings. Most of these are rip offs of some Illustrators I got introduced to whilst on my Canadian Adventure, forget there names, Travis Sengaus was one. I find drawing others works helps me find elements within that drawing I like and can eventually put into my own designs. For those who don't recognise, where've got powerglide one of my all time favourite autobots, a couple of Ben 10 aliens, Spidermonkey and Wildmutt and of course good old Optimus and Batman.

Sure Jesus Loves You.....

A quickie I produced in class, my goal was to get back some of my iconic toilet humour back into my work, so I came up with the phrase, "Sure Jesus Loves You... But Does He Swallow!" The final Illustration had the type floating behind the image, but after more consideration I thought it wise to not include it as a portfolio piece. Especially after the strife I had with the comic book about superheroes getting powers from drugs.

National Youth Self Portrait Prize

I entered the portrait prize a few years ago now only just got around to putting it up, I'm shocking, anyway got published in the national galleries magazine even though I didnt win the $20,000 prize I was still chuffed with getting into the finalist exhibition.

More Pub Promotion

As I've said before I've been doing the pub I work at's graphic design type stuff mainly for there nightclub but looks like I'm gona get to extend my work into other areas of the business since the lady that was doing it before left. I'm abit excited

old miner portrait

An old quickie I put out while I was experimenting around with my style, people seem to like it.

Wolf

I Illustrated up this guy originally as Fenris wolf from old norse mythology but I'm thinking hes got a more red riding hood feel to him, missed the mark with this one but still like his characterization.
