This one will be slow progress, I’ve only got time to work on this one during my lunchbreak on my day job. Night times have got me pretty busy with another hush-hush project – not personal work though. Anyway, here’s a quick snap of what I’ve done. Tattoos are sketched on. I’m having a heap of trouble deciding what to do with this. Should I colour it? or keep it all pencil shading. Hmmm. What do you think?

Went to see TCV live on Saturday. all I can say is. WOW. Amazing. the musicianship was so good. The band were so tight, they looked like they’ve been playing together for years. They definitely look like they have fun on stage together too. playing off each others talent.
It was actually hard to decide where to look on stage cause so much was happening at once. Grohl’s relentless drumming, Josh’s amazing guitaring or JPJ’s skill on every instrument he picked up.
I must say it was a lot better live than on the album.
If you haven’t yet. Check out this band!

This video is so cool. It’s pretty sad though – just a caution if you don’t want to look like you’re about to cry in front of your mates haha. Wonderful shots throughout and the quality of the video is rad. Great story and insight into the relationship with man’s best friend.

P.S. Can’t wait to get my own 7D

So, doin a commission for a friend of mine. Didn’t really know what I was gonna do, so I just let my mind wander and put my pencil onto paper. Started drawing this weird frog guy and his little friend / pet. I hope it turns out good.

Finally finished this gig poster! Sore hands from colouring. Decided to go for a watered down desaturated colour scheme. Pink type is kinda crazy out there, but green and brown was getting lost in the background. Hmmm.

Now the long arduous road of colouring begins :-/ Not sure what kind of colour scheme to use yet. Hopefully it will dawn on me soon!

Happy New Year everyone.
Hope you had a good holiday. Did you make any resolutions?
I’m going to try see my friends more, and also get off my backside and do more personal work. Who knows we can stick to resolutions but it’s a nice thought to try and become a better person every year.
Peace. See you soon.

So started a new piece tonight.. Hardly draw people, so thought I would give it a crack. So here we are. First sketch, and more to come. I may end up leaving it a pencil drawing, and colouring the background. Would that look weird? Doesn’t in my head. Thoughts?
