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.
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.
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!!
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.
I got the opportunity to design a t-shirt for the stunt and fight teams on the new Wolverine movie. After a few revisions and some back and forth communication the design wound up being pretty solid. Approx 300 t-shirts were produced and a limited run of hoodies. Here's the design.
And here's the t-shirt as modelled by the gorgeous Deborah.
Here's something I did for a bit of fun, the overall concept was to take some pre-christian Celtic gods, give them a bit of a twist and urbanise them. I've got a few at the sketch book level, but I gave old horn head here the works. Might add some of the other later.
For those interested, the latin at the bottom of the image, 'dis aliter visum' means - "it seemed otherwise to the gods" or in other words, the Gods have another plan. Kind of taps into the vibe I was going for, although ultimately, it was just a good excuse to draw a guy with antlers and big sneakers.
Been listening to a lot of Maynard James Keenan's creative project - Puscifer of late, wound up doing this piece, so I consider it indirectly linked (or at least subliminally inspired by) the music. Check out their stuff, you can buy it on iTunes or through their website.
I'm pretty stoked!! Looks like I've been picked for issue 5 after all, now don't I feel like Chicken Little!
I Want Your Skull is a limited run black and white publication and website, that focuses on art featuring skulls. The following is my entry in the May issue. I didn't get picked, but hey, it was a fun exercise all the same.
The Final Piece, entitled 'Thug Life'
And here's a set of concepts, no particular order, although you'll notice I did start it in colour.
Speaks for it self I guess, I'm doing a short series in this style, just for fun at the moment, but I'm working of turning it all a little more tangible too! More soon.
