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.

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.
