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.

TUTU MAN

A watercolour caricature that I had to turn around in a day (such a pretty shade of pink)

AMY AMY AMY

The Bunker Gallery in Coffs Harbour is hosting a Women's Cartoon Exhibition from March 13th until April 11th, make sure you check it out if you're in Coffs. I did an acrylic caricature of one of my favourite singers ... the one & only Amy Winehouse

BOY BLUE ALEXANDER

I did this watercolour of Alexander Downer as the Blue Boy for the Rotary Cartoon Awards, I ended up receiving runner up in the caricature section for my depiction of Belinda Neal as the Incredible Sulk, but I liked this one better

NEWCASTLE COUNCIL "DOG LAUNCH"

After weeks of doing what I considered a dream job (creating humorous illustrations of dogs), the van & brochure dog series for the Newcastle City Counctil was launched in Civic Park yesterday. The star of the show was a 15 year old King Charles Spaniel named Kappi, she was one of my subjects & appears (in her younger years) on the van.

DANIEL JOHNS PHOTOSHOP SKETCH

Well I finally purchased a Wacom tablet & have started practising. I have drawn a sketch of one of my favourite subjects Daniel Johns (Silverchair) ... I used the pencil tool in Photoshop.

SURFEST

Surfest was a great weekend. Besides the brilliant surfing Eclipse Media put on a Waves & Wine festival, everyone had an amazing time. I had a stall set up with caricatures of the surfers (Occy, Mark RIchards, Steph Gilmore & many more) .... I was lucky enough to get the majority of the caricatures signed & meet some of the surfers .... you couldn't ask to meet a nicer group of people.
