Inks!

Some actual ink, most digital.

Er, Captain...?

Here's a comp from last year.... had heaps of fun with this.

Steam...

Here's an illustration I did recently for an advertising client. Actually this is a reworked version of the brief finished after the deadline passed when I had a little more time, so technically it looks nothing like the original brief.

This Little Piggy Got Slaughtered...

A recent Illustration for Sydney Morning Herald for the cover of a fold-in on the impact of the new budget on small business. It was also used on the frontpage.

Ad Comps...

Video Joy

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

And something a little different...

...just to break the caricature type thing that has sort of taken over for a bit. Now back to caricatures!

Capt. Cook...

...and The Big Pink Rubberball Of Fate come face to 'face' in Kealakekua Bay...

Finally got this done to where I wanted to take it, well close anyway. I had to cut some corners to get this done in a little gap I had from paying jobs.

Profound Statement...

...about a Chook.

Deleted the original of this post. Didn't like it anymore.

Canadian Fox

I did this a while ago for a political party in Canada, suffice to say I knew nothing about the candidates or issues. Apparently they have chickens there though… oh and I like the fox...

More Mad

Slightly different version to the published one... not that anybody would know as nobody bothers buying Mad Magazine anymore it seems.

The fact that nobody seems to know who this guy is -I didn't- makes the likeness a little redundant.

More yada-yada-yada...

Finished this off a little differently from what it used to be. Sometimes less is more. Though often Less is just Less, other times More is More.... and so on.

Bit too smooth on the 'paint', but what the hell!

Ad-work Compile

This image is a compilation of all the bits that I was happy with from the last year or so of advertising work. Cars, food, animals, men, women, cartoons, trees, scribbles, Cary Larson cows, a Mermaid, Cherubs, Running Donut, Ninja on a Motorbike, Chicken Roast with nappy, engine, Sea-monster, tea, Cowboys, and Indians, Ice-cream, you name it! it’s all there. Even squirrels…

Seinfeld and the Gang

For the Aussie Mad magazine, finished about a month ago.

Davenport of Dispair...

...or the Couch of Pain?

Yada-yada-yada...

This is for a Mad article. I did each face separately and only viewed them together when I compiled this pic…interesting. Elaine was the hardest to ‘get’, not surprising really, women are always tricky to caricature.

Now I see things I want to change... but it's not worth it moneywise... the stuggle rages on...

Anyway, interesting thing I noticed: caricaturing several people closely associated with each other makes the whole process easier because the viewer has more clues to the identities of the subjects. Often though, you loose the destinct personalities and the 'feel' of the individual characters. So, that's why I did these each by themselves, with a day between each...

Some filler stuff...

Busy on a huge animatic , so to fill time here is a older work sample. This one was for the Aussie Mad. John Howard and Peter Costello. Ended up being more trouble than it was worth...
