RSS FeedSorry the blogs been a bit inactive for the past wee while. These couple of months have been hectic. Have an absolute pile of sketches to scan from my last moleskine. Yes that’s right. I actually completed a new years resolution and finished a whole sketchbook!
Really glad to have a short break at the moment, [...]

Hey all,
I’ll be participating in a group painting show and it will be on the 19th November 2011. This is awesome because A) I’ve never been in a real painting show before. And B) I’ve had a huge amount of motivation to paint. The looming deadline has really helped! and C) I will get to [...]
Sorry I haven’t really updated in about a month. Starting to get pretty busy so trying to find the time to do some personal stuff is a bit hard right now. But I’ll have some stuff in the works very soon!
Here’s a closeup shot of my face. Taken with Instagram. Are you on instagram? find [...]
So Yesterday was my birthday and I now I’m a quarter century years old. Thought I should make a post and reflect on some things I’ve learnt on my short time on Earth. These are my views only and may not apply to anyone else so please take with a grain of salt! This post [...]
I saw this point brought up the other day by Designstein, and it really got me thinking. Having worked in both realms (I currently contract to advertising agencies as a designer / illustrator, and worked full time at one before that) I pondered this question to myself.
A point that came up during this conversation was [...]

Hey guys,
You might be thinking, where have you been, and why haven’t you been drawing?
Well the reason I’ve been pretty quiet is because I’ve been secretly working on a project with my friend Tiga at Infinity Web to fundraise some money to donate to the Christchurch earthquake relief efforts.
I’m very pleased to say that Part [...]
Finished! pretty happy with it so far.
Now to get on to the boring stuff!
Sorry guys, been hiding away trying to sort out my life, where I want things to go. And trying to clear away some work before I start fresh. Exciting stuff is on the way though I promise!
Anyway here’s a drawing I’ve been working on, coming to a tee-shirt near you! (Still not finished yet)
Pretty darn happy with the result, I kind of wish there was a heavier paper stock but I really can’t complain. Liking the overgloss too. Class
And the first day of the rest of my life. I finally feel alive!
Just finished the poster for the 2010 Battle of the Ad Bands. Its a battle of the bands for advertising agencies. We won last year so we got the chance to design the promo material. I jump at the chance to make music posters!
Basically its a giant fight between characters from different and current advertising [...]
Simon from the band ‘Midnight Youth’ contacted me today and sent this photo. Their album went platinum, and now my work is immortalised forever in a plaque! Yay.
Just picked this up today, probably the best hangover cure. So excited, can’t wait for my lenses to arrive so I can get snapping!

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 [...]
