Sorry people, i'll have the pics up again soon...

Hello, I figured I'd clean out the closet a bit first and air out some old work.This is from back before computers replaced my pencil and paper and I was using good old coloured pencil and airbrush...

All fixed for the moment,Thanx for your patience, I'll start putting up stuff again soon.

I don't know who's crazy idea it was that these guys should be the vessel of childhood humor, they scared the crap out of me more than shadows or dad's songs first thing in the morning

Back again, only a 15 minutes spent on this but getting there. I'll put up some published work over the next few days and leave the sketches for a while...

Here's the next installment. I might have to take a vote (as soon as someone actually discovers this page) because my original intention was to keep the hair flat with no detail but I'll keep going in this direction to see what happens and put both up for comparison.

I'm pretty busy at the moment with a variety of jobs both design and illustration but I've decided to find some time even if it's 15 min a day to get into more photoshop work. I've recently been inspired by a new friend of mine from Argentina Carlos, (a link to his site is on the right) and on one of his pages is a video of him drawing from scratch one of his masterpieces, the tutorials are about 150 meg but well worth the download.
So this is the piece I am going to work on and I will post each section as I do it...this could be a long journey so I will put up a few others so you don't get too bored of the same thing.

They're happy little vegimites aren't they...

Hello again, here are some old characters I did for pizza hut storyboard concept. I didn't design these gal's just re drew them in action.

...Ok one more and then I start working...

Another of the girls. That's enough for today, back to work Adam

I was going to post a bunch of old sketches from my sketchbook but wouldn't you know it I stored them away in a far off dark place last week, so I guess i'll have to start sketching again. This is probably a good thing, everything I have been working on has been digital lately it will be good to replace the illumination of the imac for real sunshine and start a new sketch book... I'll post them as I do them for those of you poking your nose in here now and then.
This is the kind of stuff I used to do in my sketch book

I've been cleaning out the house and I found a bunch of old sketches from high school that aren't as bad as I thought they were at the time, gotta love teenage confidence. This is a picture from when I was 16 or 17 based on a comic I used to read called Black Orchid.

Here's another, these were done when fashion design was riding the western wagon

I did a few concept sketches for a fantastic Aussie label called Yokii, check out his stuff when you can.
These didn't make it but seeing as my girlfriend went to all the trouble of posing for me they might as well get seen somewhere.

I'm going to throw up a few sketches first to get started. This one kind of reminds me of an old TV character I grew up with called Worzel Gummidge

Hello good people, thank you for taking the time to view my blog.
I call my self smart artist... chameleon would probably be more apt as my favorite thing to do for illustration/design or music, is adapt and draw out the key elements to successfully complete a job.
I'm fortunate to have made some very talented friends who if they haven't got there own blog up, I will shortly convince them to do so and will provide a link to there pages for you.
I hope you enjoy whatever it is I decide to put up here and if you are an artist/musician or potential client feel free to contact me any time to chat.
