So I drew this stupid picture of a squirtle lifting weights made of voltorbs.

Just found this photo I took in 2005 on a small 3mp point and shoot.
It was taken at around 5 or 6am from the edge of the water in Kawhia, by a Marae (That’s Maori for ‘meeting house’) we stayed for a few days while at Uni. I remember this morning well, Stayed up all night from the previous evenings antics (tried to run away from the bus because we wanted to stay at the pub longer – later found by our lecturers driving past as we tried to jump into shrubbery. Got back to camp and couldn’t go back to sleep so I layed down on the bank in my sleeping bag and watched the sun come up over the water.
Anyway. It was a beautiful place and I’d like to go back for a visit.

Not a great photo but holds a lot of value

This is the view from the deck at sunrise. The sky had some cool colours going on so I took a photo while half asleep. Moving out this week, so this will be the last shot from home! But I’ll try to be more productive with the camera at the new place. Promise!

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.

Did this at ‘Come Draw Pictures’ Last night. Pretty happy with where its going, proportions are a bit out of whack. but pleased with the texture on the clothes. Can’t draw circles and don’t have a compass so I think I’ll do something crazy with the wheels. any thoughts?

Felt like a bit of practice drawing people, so I flipped through some back issues of Monster Children (Possibly my favourite Magazine ever. Check it out) and found this photo of Kamila Wladkya. So I tried to draw her.

URGH Sorry for the lack of updates. Been too busy lately to do much. Damn. But ‘Come Draw Pictures’ is a good way to push yourself back into being creative. Score! Here’s a quick sketch I did that night of Nick.

Great timing for me to get my camera! The lantern festival was this weekend so I went along with some friends to get some photos. These are my first ever photos with this camera, so bear with me. Still learning!
Shot with a Canon 7D and 50mm f1.8 II Lens

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!
