Got a cool commissioned job to work on. Massive file though almost 10,000px wide!
here’s a SMALL snippet of it, that I’ve started on. Should keep me busy for a fair wee while.

and a detail of the fish,

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 One of ‘The Easel Project’ has started! It’s only a blog right now, but we should have a proper website soon. We will be auctioning art to raise money to help the people of Christchurch rebuild their lives.

It would be cool if you could read up, and start sharing, tweeting, reblogging, shouting from rooftops, smoke signals, etc. If you are an artist and are thinking of being involved please contact me, or if you know anyone in media that could help promote this campaign then please forward them to me.
Check back soon for updates, and the launch of the website.
Thanks for listening!

Last week I was on set doing some behind the scenes stuff for a TV Commercial, there’s some down time waiting for things to start happening like lights and camera’s being set up, hair and makeup for talent. I drew this in between filming.

Last weekend, a couple of good friends and I went away to Omaha / Leigh. We chilled in the sun. Then when night fell, we dressed to the 9’s and became dancing maniacs at the Leigh Sawmill Cafe. What was there? Kitty, Daisy & Lewis! & Heart Attack Alley who were a GREAT opening act. Sad to hear that their mother was ill and couldn’t play the show though.
Did you go one of their shows? What did you think??
I had the BEST time. Lots of sun, sand, water, beer and great music.
Oh I also did some drawing.
…I’ll start with photos of our trip! P.S all photo credit goes to my friend Matt.
Omaha Wharf

Ready to party. Shoes that dance you.


I was super mesmerised by Daisy on the drums. So much energy!

OH… Did I mention that we met Lewis afterwards? 

What are your favourite songs? Did they play yours? I was slightly disappointed they didn’t play ‘Mohair Sam’ haha. But they did play my favourite which is ‘Baby (hold me tight)’
And here are some of the drawings I did in my sketch book while I was relaxing in the sun.
I keep drawing things in circles made of plant matter. I don’t know why.

Wasn’t totally sober for this one..

Drew some letters.

There’s a couple more drawings I might re-work and then post up later.

A while ago Dr. Sketchy was in town. This was a really cool event, for $10 you get a night of life models dressed in theme for you to draw. Here’s a couple of my drawings from the night. The theme of this session was Grindhouse. The girls are dressed pretty appropriately dont you think?

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
