Been a while!
A while…. Actually its been WAY too long since I update my blog.
Shame on me!
Well first of all, last years sketchbook is now up for grabs in soft and hardcover versions via the blurb.com website:

So despite the lack of updates, I have in fact been doing things. Various Commissions here and there, such as these :
[Official Xbox Magazine]
[Go Ballistic]
Cluedo – Packaging and Character design. (* The Cluedo Logo is an example only.)
Mr Monopoly, this is just one of a series I created of this Jolly Fellow.
I was commissioned by Players to do a series of pinup girls for a calender, here are a couple of them:
It was a tricky job that lasted quite a few months, many many re-do’s and changes, but sometimes that is just the nature of freelance illustration.
I’ll be back tomorrow with some more updates and more pinup girls.
Bye!

Hey!
Last week, I headed out to this awesome place called Paulas Loung Bar in Mornington to get some sketching done and have a break from work.
I’ll definitely be heading there again soon, in other news I coloured this LIVE on Ustream:
If you happened to miss the live stream, I did hit the record button. You can view it here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/12782899
At the moment I am busy working on a few gigs with Official Xbox Magazine, and Hasbro.
As soon as I can, I will upload some of the client work I have been doing the last couple of months..
Till next time!

I’m a little late in posting this… So in addition – Happy New year!!
This was a quick illustration I created for our home made Christmas cards that we sent out.
2010 has been an amazing year, I’ve moved into my new house and brought with it my independence, I got Married in May to the most gorgeous girl that fate could have brought me, connected with fans through Armageddon expo, worked on many jobs through the agency – The Jacky Winter Group.
I’ve experimented with style, worked on projects held close to my heart, and worked on more things that couldn’t be further from my heart just to pay the bills and survive.
There have been ups and downs, struggles and triumphs but all in all 2010 has made me realise what I want to do. What paths I yearn to follow.
And goals which are so slippery they have been out of my grasp for such a long time.
2011, I want to try harder to reach these ambitions.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.

A few sketches..
Hello again lovely readers.
My Demon Rising original art has sold! Yay!
Here are some sketches I got done within the last week or so.
We also are slowly drawing to the close of the headshots project. We’re on about 43 orders so far, once we reach 50. That’s it!
It has been an interesting experience, that is for sure! I aim to use the time I will have freed up to spend on my own personal project. Something that’s has been stuck in my head for the last 7 years. Wish me luck!
