| Failed project. |

Here's something to end your week with.

As you'll see I didn't get very far with my challenge and thats why I haven't mentioned this until now.
I'd hardly be the first cartoonist to loose interest in a self-initiated project, and it represents my on-again off-again relationship with FANTASY.
While other people get misty-eyed over Marvel superheroes my nostalgia is based on D&D. Who's the bigger NERD?
Don't answer that.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that I'll continue with it, so keep an eye on it.

| Bastards Challenge 3: Odd Couple |
[Jun. 26th, 2009|11:16 am] |
A real quick one this week. About to hop on a plane for a weekend in Hobart!
I always had an affinity with Ernie. I believe he was my fashion and life guru for most of my early life.
I was never into doing chores and would rather spend my time playing with my toys and goofing off. I wore alot of velur jumpers and was attracted to the same colours as Ernie.
My older brother played the role of Bert.

| STA Travel |
[Feb. 12th, 2009|09:29 pm] |
There's another ad on TV that features some of my work.
Just the other week I completed a bunch of artworks for STA Travel. Maybe you've already seen it? The art direction was for the ad to flip through some ones travel sketch book as they ventured in the UK, Asia and USA.
The fun thing about this job was I had to do imperfect sketchy style drawings. Quite freeing.
Here are a few of them:
Some of the artwork is currently used as banners on the site.I'll try and hunt down a copy of the ad to link to.

| Potrait: Elton John |
[Feb. 4th, 2009|08:50 am] |
I've recently been getting into early Elton John. Rocketman, Tiny Dancer, Your Song etc. Don't know if it's my increasing age stumbling me towards Dad Music, but I'm really enjoying this stuff. I've been giving other Elton songs a spin, but I don't rate much of it.
I like the pre-hair loss period.
Anyways, recent discussions with my Wayward 'Toonist brothers have inspired me to do a bit of sketchbook potraits. (Which will hopefully lead up to our next project). Now portraiture isn't normally one of my strengths and I've still got a lot to improve, but so far I've enjoyed the process. I've enjoyed the research and the act of drawing and inking in my new little sketch book.
Here's my first attempt at Elton John:
And my 2nd bash:
You Tube links:
1970's Your Song style.
Rockin' the 1971 Tiny Dancer.
And 1976 Rocketman. The hair is going.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, 1976.

Here's something a little bit different.
An invite for my future-mother-inlaws 60th 50's themed party. (Get it? I'm not sure I do.)
I've left off the details so as to avoid any Corey Worthington style party crashing. It was quite fun to flex some different illustration skills with this. Also helps that I'm currently engrossed in the Mad Men tv series at the moment!

| 2 WIP |
[Jan. 12th, 2009|03:00 pm] |
I thought I'd share 2 personal artworks that I've been working on recently. They are both in the work-in-progress stage.
Firstly is this fantasy/nerd drawing:
I hesitantly admit that I have a past love for Tolkien style fantasy and other books with maps in the front and certain roleplaying games (*cough*D&D*cough*).
The original composition was inspired by everyone's compositional inspiration: Mignola. I decided to crop it close, so the source isn't as noticable.
And in an effort to regain some street cred, there's this piece that is a continuation of my song-inspired works:
"My Adidas" by Run DMC.
Now me and my Adidas do the illest things
we like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings
we slay all suckers who perpetrate
and lay down law from state to state
we travel on gravel, drit road or street
I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat
on stage front page every show I go
it's Adidas on my feet high top or low
My Adidas..
Very much in the rough stages. Still playing around with the doodling nod to Jean-Michel Basquait (who's art I always find freeing and inspiring.)
