Influence Map

2012-02-13T06:34:00.003+11:00

For homework in one of my subjects we had to compile our influences in an "influence map"

the bigger the influence the more area it takes up on the image.

So if you are interested in who influenced me here it is:

Back to School!

2012-02-11T08:51:00.003+11:00

So I am in Pasadena, LA at the moment attending the Concept Design Academy.

Here is some environment studies from around where I am staying.

More homework to come soon!

TMNT- Raphael

2012-01-31T22:55:00.001+11:00

I had to take part in this weeks Ozcomic Challenge!

In other news- HOLY CRAP! I'M GOING TO LA TOMORROW!

Stay tuned!

Gotye and Kimbra

2012-01-31T19:32:00.003+11:00

Big suprise! The song "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye won the Triple J hottest 100 last week. It really is a great song and has been stuck in my head for a good 6 months.

I had fun doing this.

The childrens book thing was a last minute addition taking inspiration from Doug Holgate and Josh Cooley.

Oh and if you don't know the song or the film clip check it out:

Dredd

2012-01-25T19:49:00.002+11:00

I was able to choose the topic for last weeks drawing challenge at Ozcomics. Judge Dredd was my favorite comic growing up so it wasn't hard to pick him to draw.

Here is my entry:

Gork

2012-01-21T11:19:00.002+11:00

Inspired by a demo by Terry Lane @ CDW Melbourne.

Digital Life Drawing

Check them out here, here and here.

Joker and Harley

2012-01-12T09:51:00.005+11:00

This weeks theme at Oz Comics was "Romance in Comics". I really love the story "Mad Love" by Bruce Timm, so these two seemed like the right choice to draw.

Killeroo

2012-01-07T09:43:00.002+11:00

Darren Close- Creator of Killer Roo and instigator of Ozcomics asked me to draw his character for him......... so I did.Check out the other guest Killeroo art work here.

The Tick

2012-01-05T12:07:00.005+11:00

One of my favorite cartoon characters when I was growing up. One of my fondest memories is when they introduced his sidekick: Speak the "Furry Moist Avenger".

One Last One

2011-12-31T00:54:00.002+11:00

This will probably be the last post for the year! Happy New Year everyone!

Bat Girl

2011-12-29T21:39:00.009+11:00

Skyrim

2011-11-27T17:20:00.006+11:00

I have had the unfortunate experience of tearing some ligaments in my ankle this month so I haven't been able to sit properly at my desk for fear that my foot will swell up like a melon. Luckily Skyrim came out and that has entertained me for the last couple of weeks.

I wanted to try out a new program called Paint Tool Sai so I developed a sketch from my sketchbook. If you haven't played Skyrim you probably wont get this....oh well:

And here is my progress:

Long Time No Post

2011-07-19T19:54:00.009+10:00

I have been ridiculously busy hence why I have neglected this blog quite at bit.

Here are some scribbles that I did a little while ago. I became obsessed with Game of Thrones after I saw the show. These are some some fun drawings of some of the characters that I did in my spare time. Heaps of fun!!

Also, Check out Chris Voigts new film, Great Destiny Man 2! James Paterson did some great credit illustrations and I did the voice of Gendo.. the berry fiend.

Plump Mondays are back! I am 3 weeks late but it has been a busy time. I went down to Adelaide to go Austrailias first concept design workshop : http://cdwa2011.com/ My Friend Simon Scales organised it and he and his wife Shelley did an amazing job putting it together. It really changed my outlook on art and I know it changed the life's of many people who attended. Also, I have just finished up on one job and have obtained another. Busy man!

If I have time I will try and do some catch-up Plumpness.

Plump Mondays No. 21- Supanova Edition

2011-04-04T08:34:00.005+10:00

So on the weekend I manned a table at the local comic convention (Supanova) here in Brisbane, showing my folio, selling my book and some prints. Its was a fun couple of days meeting people and showing my work. I had a blast seeing how people reacted to my folio(my pug and my ewok were especially popular).

A big thank you to all the people who came over and enjoyed my art, a bigger thank you to the people who bought my book or bought a print. But the BIGGEST thank you goes to my friend Lach who let me share his table and if it wasn't for him, none of it would have happened!

Both days were very busy but when I wasn't talking to people I was able to do a few sketches seen here, but nothing like what Lach was able to do. Wow! I really hope he post his sketches from the day on his blog. Every time I turned around there was another massive drawing of something mind-blowing.

Overall, I am so glad that I did this. I feel like I have been living in a little bubble with my art for so long, only showing it to family, friends and co-workers and it was incredibly inspiring to see how people react to my work having never seen it before. I even made a little money which is always nice :). It looks like I'll be heading down the the Sydney Supanova as well!

Supanova

2011-03-31T18:56:00.000+11:00

So, I'm going to be at Supanova this weekend selling my book and showing off some art. Here is a little promo image that I just did to display with my book. If you are going to be there come over and say hi!

2011-03-24T23:37:00.004+11:00

This is exciting!! I have complied all of my Violent Friday drawings into a book. I will be selling the book at the Supanova convention here in Brisbane and also online at Blurb.com. The book features all the Violent Friday's seen here plus 15 pages of new violence and sketches from where it all began! The book is only 10 bucks! That's what I call money well spent!! Check out the preview here:

2011-02-01T22:26:00.002+11:00

On the Weekend I was able to draw some comics with my friends Chris and Peter.

We do this whenever we are together. The idea is that one person draws a panel then the person next to him draws the next and so on until we have a complete story on one page. The comics always end up being bizarre and ridiculous and we have a great time making them :)

This week I tried to give my brush pen a good go. I was pretty happy with this drawing:

Check out the comic here. The rest of the comics are on that website too, you just need to click the back and forward buttons.

..Prepare yourself...............

I've been looking forward to this! Should be Fun!
I think its only appropriate to start with a Pug:
Also, sorry for not posting drawings when I was away. I didnt really draw that much but I might scan some in if I find some sketches that I like.
Thanks for looking!

The Last Violent Friday Ever!............most probably :(

2010-09-10T15:27:00.006+10:00

This is it.

I’m leaving to go to Europe tonight for an awesome holiday.
I can’t guarantee that I can get a drawing done a week, so this is it :(

I really had so much fun doing these and when I come back I am definitely going to continue doing a weekly drawing theme.

A big thank you to everyone who looked and followed these silly drawings and a bigger thank you to the people who left comments and gave me encouraging words!

I have loaded a Blogging app onto my phone and I hope to post the sketches that I manage to do on my trip. So stay tuned!
