ERNEST THE LITTLE TUG - BOOK 1 JESSE THE ELEPHANT


I recently completed illustrations for a new book. The book titled Jesse the Elephant is the first in a series on The adventures of Ernest the Little Tug. Here is a note about the book from the author Scott Allen "The “Adventures of Ernest Little Tug” is a series of children’s stories which tell the living history of the world’s greatest harbour, Sydney Harbour. Ernest Little Tug is the cute and friendly star of the stories. He is friend to all the boats on the harbour and always lends a helping hand in times of trouble. His best friend is Teddy the dog who travels with him everywhere and helps out in tricky situations. The many other characters in the stories are based on real life Sydney Ferries, visiting ocean liners or warships, and all books include an account of the True Story upon which the children’s story is based. The first book in the series recounts an event in 1916 when Jesse the elephant was walked through Sydney city from the old Moore Park Zoo and then moved by punt ferry across Sydney Harbour to her new home in Taronga Zoo. Jesse went on to become one of the most famous animals at the zoo." Ernest will be in book shops soon, check Ernest out on Facebook.

WOMEN OF THE WORLD




My Mum & I took a trip to the Bunker Cartoon Gallery (Coffs Harbour) last Friday where they were hosting an exhibition of female artists. Jules Faber opened the exhibition, there was so much amazing talent & I was lucky enough to meet 2 of the incredible female artists Flossy P (aka Sarah) & Dee Texidor.

DAVID ROWE


I did this watercolour of my favourite Aussie Cartoonist the brilliant David Rowe about 15 month ago .... It was one of my first attempts at watercolour, I wanted to find a medium that was quick as an option for my caricature work.

BALD ARCHYS 2009


Well the Bald Archy's have rolled around once again, they open in Sydney today, so check it out at the ABC studios, it will be heaps of fun ... I had 2 entries in this year, one of Hamish & Andy giving each other "nipple twists" and this one of Morris Iemma titled "Short Circuit" in reference to the saga of the privatisation of the NSW electricity ... it obviously didn't happen!

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT


Because I do lots of design work, the only time I draw is when I get the occasional commission ... I am now going to do something very novel ... START PRACTICING, I've heard this helps you improve! When I look at the blogs of the greats they all do heaps of sketching .... Anyway I've started with my friend Johnny & I look forward to improving.
