Thrashing Them Crooked Vultures..

Waiting for Deb, designing a motion sequence in my head to a Spinnerette song.

It's Fringe festival time here in sunny Adelaide and as with every Fringe for the last few years we get to enjoy the Garden of Unearthly Delights, it's a pretty cool Carnival style set up. In this years Garden there's a mutant animal freakshow on. So not wanting to waste the inspiration I put this one together.

Well, it's been a while, and in the last three months my world has turned upside down. Here's a piece I did just before the calamity, posting some new stuff soon though, I haven't stopped drawing, just posting...

Although I only really post my illustration work on Vox, I do like to work with images too.

A creative friend of mine showed me work by a photographer called Andrzej Dragan and how he was producing some images that utilised a similar style to Dragans work. So not wanting to be left out, I grabbed a few stock photos and had a play. In both experiements, the original(s) are on the left, altered on the right.

This is a portrait piece of the über talented designer / illustrator Sheima Hassanlou (aka Unikfrek on vox). Sheima works in motion design, print graphics and produces some of the slickest collage based illustrations on the planet.

I'm not the biggest social networker, but I do partake a little.

I keep a gallery of my stuff over at Trig.com, a fellow Trig member and online friend Moira posted this great black and white photo of herself, and on seeing it, I wound up finding some inspiration.

The exercise yielded an image I was happy with and also some more custom, hand lettered type. A skill set I've been fooling around with / developing for a while now and I'm aiming to do a lot more of it. Got to love some filigree.

It also was a testing ground for working with an etching look style (sort of in the dollar bill vein). The whole piece was a lot of fun, a good relaxation exercise and best of all the lovely Moira was pleased!!

After all there's nothing like a pretty girl and a little inspiration to take you on an interesting journey!

Ever get a goofy name or saying stuck in your head? I did... It was 'Meth Prophet'.
So I took a little inspiration from such an odd pairing of words and did some original typography design.

Followed by an illustration that I think would work on a t-shirt pretty well.

And I've been fooling around with colour, although this would have to be a 4 colour tee.

Just remember kids, drugs are M'Kay.

This started out as a quickie for my Sketch Blog but wound up becoming an exercise / foray into digital painting and a much less cartoony style. So now I guess I'll show it off here!

One of my earliest posts here was a sketch I did of an Angel and a Devil girl, well I gave the two the treatment and came up with two lowbrow canvasses. There's a healthy dose of tongue and cheek involved, along with some 50's hot-rod style art influences. The physical prints will be on canvas 1m x 1m.
