STANLEYS 2010

I have just returned from the annual Australian Cartoon Assocation's conference & awards "The Stanleys". What an amazing weekend, our special guests were Stan Goldberg (Archie Comics) & the amazingly brilliant Jason Seiler. I was lucky enough to be nominated in the caricature section. Congrats to all the winners, so much fun & talent in one room.

ROWAN ATKINSON

This is my second attempt at a digital painting. I used an old sketch I had of Rowan Atkinson & decided to paint over the top of it. I am really loving digital painting & look at Jason Seiler's work for inspiration. Bring on the Stanley's.
