RSS FeedRecently I started a new painting. It’s a portrait study of Melanie Laurent from the movie ‘Inglorious Basterds’. I’ve been using it as a chance to practice some new techniques while not really concentrating too hard on subject matter. I was more interested in getting tones correct to show form of the face and sharpening [...]
Finally finished this painting last night of Marcelle from meinmyplace.com. I’m pretty happy with the outcome of this one, possibly the first piece of work I’ve done that I’ve been really satisfied with. Acrylics are so hard to work with after you’ve started using oils though.

Acrylic on Canvas.
All finished! Remember it will be on display this Saturday at the ‘Beauty meets the Bizarre’ group show until December 2. Come to the opening and hang out!

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 [...]

Been teaching myself to paint with oil lately.
Painting in progress. Almost there! Acrylic on Canvas.
You might be wondering why I’ve been only doing realistic portraits lately instead of my usual style, but I feel like I need to evolve my style and my technical ability before I can really put some of my ideas into paintings. Portraiture has been really helpful lately [...]
Here’s the final finished mural I just completed for motion graphics company Waxeye. What a mammoth task! Largest scale work I’ve worked on. Learnt a few things – such as how long something so big will take. haha.

Kinda enjoying painting with a Tablet, so decided to try something a bit more complex.
Been sick this week, managed to stay awake for a couple hours last night to finish this. zzzz
This weekend I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in MONTHS. I had lost my desire to paint for a while, mainly because I felt like I was technically not where I wanted to be in terms of skill level. But then I had a moment of clarity. With my other painting I [...]
Started to lay down some rough colours for my poster cause submission. I want to try something new with this one, different style of colouring. Maybe a little bit more expressive than usual with my strokes.
Sneak preview:
Rush poster job for a battle of the ad bands. hopefully I can finish this in time!
