A recent pitch art project.

Duck!

...more deadlines on the way!

This is a drawing from a recent job. I don't draw ducks very often... quite liked it.

Deadlines!

In case anyone was getting worried... I am still in the land of the living. Sort of... I have been chasing deadlines like a dervish for 4 solid weeks, with not a moment to spare. Good for the bank balance, not so good for posting.

Anyway, anyway here's a pretty quick drawing of everyones favorite bit of Sydney. The Harbour Bridge.

Our Inglorious Basterd...

More Monsters!

Here are a few frames for another advertising project. I've been designing a lot of monsters lately. Odd how these things go in cycles.

Sketch...

Here's a early sketch for a character design.

Err... Miss Kerr?


I did this quicky for the Mirranda Kerr jam over on Drawingboard.org. I simplified the line work on her chin in the second. Still not 100% sure it looks like her...

Charrrrrrracters....

Here's a couple of characters for a different project.

Trash Monster!

It's been pretty crazy lately with deadlines poppin' up like wossnames! Here's a fun job I did recently. It was a very tight turnaround, but was a nice change of subject to work on.

Wee Babies!

Here's a presentation board for baby products that I did. Babies are hard to draw!

Commuter

Here's a older one... when I was still taking the train everyday. Guess which passenger was not actually on the carriage with us.

Hah!


>...'a drawing a day'. Ah, how adorably optimistic. That fierce determination lasted about a day. More like a drawing a week…
EDIT: The proportions started bugging me, so here's a little tweak -the image at the top. A bit better I think.

Mama's Little Helper

A painted version of Old Keef from the drawing of the earlier post.

Comp

Here's something a little different. A comp I did a few weeks ago for a advertising agency. It's a Assic's trainer if I remember correctly.

Pocket String Boogie


Did this for the Conan Jam over on Drwingboard.org.

A Bigger Gang

All the Stones rolling together.

Old Charlie Watts...

Here's a Charlie Watts from about five years ago... quite a dig to get to it.

...and I retooled the head and drumsticks in the previous Charlie post.

Rome Reloaded II

I was planning on doing a Ron Wood and a new Jagger to go with Keith and Charlie but time has been a bit scarce the last week or so.. many deadlines that need juggling.

So, in the meantime here is a concept art piece…

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

...Charlie...

...new one. I had to do Mr. Watts after I posted Keith down here!

Keeeffff!

Old Keith Richards.... ooohhh so many wrinkles....

This is another one of the 'rediscovered' caricatures I found while going over through old archives. It was a pretty quick drawing, around 10 minutes or so.

Of mice and John...

I am reading 'The Winter of our Discontent' by John Steinbeck at the moment... and had a good old rummage through the archives to find this one I did of him. From way back... possibly 2003.

Video Joy

Here's a Illo I did for the Aussie Mad Magazine a few months ago...

My Co-Workers

Here is a rough comp of some of the characters I've designed over the last 5 years -some possibly a tad older... and yes, that's me in the bottom right.

Rich Punks

Here's a new Greenday group shot... took about two hours. Actually, make that a little over a hour... I was updating my Ipod as well.
Edit: I redrew Tre -the guy on the left- he really bugged me. This is better.

Kast Out

One more... Outkast this time.

Saturday, April 25, 2009

Californication...

Another one from a while back. Used to be in coloured line, but I rejigged it back to b/w.

Friday, April 24, 2009

Peas on Earth...

The Black Eyed Peas. Did this one ages ago, when I was still at Disney. It was one of those 'oops I spilled my drink' type drawings that pop out very quickly. I'm still pretty happy with it... that VERY rarely happens.

Rome Reloaded...

A pitch painting from a little while ago.

The Real Thing...

So much better than my little quick sketch...

Red Centered...

A couple of days ago we got back from a week and a bit in the outback. Here’s a little 5 minute quick sketch of Uluru.

More Babalela

Here's part of another page from the third 'Babalela' book.

Friday, April 10, 2009

Deeply Scarlett...

Started this one for the Scarlett Johansson Jam over on Drawingboard.org. I worked on it while juggling a few other deadlines and lost interest altogether. So tonight I thought I’d make one last attempt to finish it. Got so close!

Edit: Had another look at this one and decided I actually liked the first version better, so I reworked it a bit and cleaned it up a tad. Any second now I'll swing back the other way.

Time warp...

Here’s a little preview of the new Babalela kids-book I’ve been working on. It’s a bit of a time travel trick to draw like this again, it’s not really what my work looks like now. But I have to emulate the drawing style I had when I did the first book almost ten years ago.

Faux Da Vinci

A client recently wanted to see some Da Vinci style work, so I did these mock-ups -super quick-as samples, pulled together from older drawings. The job never came through… hate that.

Groundhog Day

Bill Murray. Funny guy!

I reworked this one a tad... less highlights.

'Goddamn Meat Parade'


George C. Scott. I wish today's actors would have the guts to call the Acadamy Awards a 'Goddamn Meat Parade'. Classic.

Anyway, this is a quick one, I might not like it tomorrow. but I've not posted for a little while so I'll pop it on here in the meantime...
So... I re-worked old GCS a bit -the top image is the new one. I'll leave the old one on here for a bit. What was I thinking?

Things have Changed...

His Bobness... What would Bob do?

Once Upon A Time....

Concept piece from while back...

Bo Diddley's a Gunslinger!

I am not 100% happy with the likeness on this one, but there it is...
Diddley was once asked if he appreciated the fact that so many artists were influenced by him and very often incorporate his ‘Diddley Beat’ into their work. To this he answered flatly -I'm paraphrasing somewhat-‘No, it doesn’t pay the rent. If they paid me I’d feel better about it’. Brilliant answer I thought.

My Name Is...

...Sir Michael.

This is a painted up version of a caricature I did about a year ago. Finally got around to do it.

Edit: After Toby and a few other people commented on his mouth I saw that indeed i when a little too far... so here's a tweaked version
