I wouldn't trade the last 12 months for anything in the world!

12 months ago I embarked on the idea of self publishing my own ongoing indie title. 12 months later and 6 conventions around Australia, I am publishing the 5th issue in the series as well as a limited sketchbook edition. This is such a great medium to be involved in and I heartily recommend to anyone who is contemplating doing this to seize the moment and get started. You won't regret it. Five print issues, with 2 already on comiXology, I can't wait for what the next 12 months has in store!

Red Bubble Rebrand Launch Party - Live Painting

A couple of years ago I did a live paint for the rebranding launch of Red Bubble in Melbourne. Was a heap of fun. They got a huge crowd there and Jason Argonautilus of Luxflux Productions did a great job of capturing the night and putting this video together.

2013 in reflection

Was having a bit of a reflect back over my art from 2013 and the sort of stuff I got up to. A lot of Ozcomics challenges, A few pictures for the Dredd sequel campaign, a heck of a lot of napkin art, and I also published the first issue of my comic book, From Above. It'll be interesting to see what 2014 will have in reflection with now the third issue of my book about to hit the stores. Here's hoping this year was a productive as the last!

Steambot gets made in 3d again

Over the years I've had modellers want to create some 3d models of some of my character illustrations and its always a blast at see someone bring your creation into 3d. Of these sketches my little steambot seems to have been a popular choice for 3d visualisation. The latest 3d conversion is by deviant artist, Kaladam: http://kaladam.deviantart.com/art/Steampunk-zbrush-429814178
