Moonrise & Xpress

Xpress mag recently did a fashion shoot using my Moonrise mural as the background. Pretty stoked with the way they've used it.

Imagination Migration

A few sample pics from my latest mural installed in Karratha 2011.  The size is approx 40m long x 4.5m high - definitely the biggest work I've done to date.  Looking forward to going bigger now... I'll be getting a video together soon documenting the entire process of me painting over 8 days to get it done. It was a lot of fun and I hope the kids get as much enjoyment out of it as I had creating it.


More details and pics to follow soon...

WOMAN

My submission for the Australian InFront Visual Response #05.  The theme was woman and this is what I came up with.  I wanted to play around with shapes and make the viewer take notice.

TRILLOGY

I was recently commissioned by Starr Media Group for an illustration for the group Trillogy out of NJ.  Here's the final to be used in their promo material - stickers/ posters...
The theme was LOVE/LIFE/LOYALTY.

Sushi 13

I was asked to design a character for a Guess Who? style spread in the magazine Sushi 13, out of Offenbach, Germany. My brief was Human/4 limbs/Hair everywhere except on head. Here's what I came up with. Of course I had to give him a pipe and hat... It all adds to the flavour.

This Is Not The End

Based on a dream I had and a bit of a reference to all the Armageddon believers.

Enjoy.

Welcome!

I was asked to help kit out the design studio of Red Meets Blue.  They wanted something simple for the stairwell wall running up towards the RedMeetsBlue sign.  Using some paint marker pens here to create the simple welcome line work for the studio.

The TIGER

Just finished reading The Tiger by John Vaillant and I had a visual I wanted to illustrate so here it is.  The book follows the true story of a tiger that is stalking and killing men in a small town in far east Russia.  The tiger is unusually large for the area so I wanted to show that sense of scale between the tiger and the man and the stalking nature of the tiger amidst the eerie calm of the cold Primorye forest.

Working with a few new brushes here, let me know what you think?

The Sparrow Looks Up at The Machine

Working with a few new brushes on an illustration inspired by the song The Sparrow Looks Up at The Machine by The Flaming Lips.
