I've been busy building a new career, hence the lack of posts. Sorry, but here's the start of it!

This is something I did a couple of years ago now. I looked through my folio the other day and I had forgotten all about this. I'm actually pretty proud of it,so I thought I should put it on here. It was a hand drawn illustration I did for an editorial assignment as part of my studies.

It was for the Clean Ocean Foundation who are trying to put a stop to a number ocean outfalls around Australia, including the one at Boags Rocks on the Mornington Peninsula which is right next to one of my favourite surf spots.

I'm not sure if it's respect i'm gaining for turtle rooters, maybe a little bit, but there's definitely some jealousy when they get to lie down in caves like these. (D-Bah QLD above, Rye VIC below) Both unknown riders.

On the Wall (off the hook!)

I went to the opening of this last night at Metro Gallery.

With the average price of each piece around the 15k mark, it was a pretty amazing to see some of the art in the flesh. All of the work was incredible.

Also picked up the flyer for the launch of Banksy's DVD in Melbourne. As if He'd pay for a DVD. Yell out if you find a torrent for it.

teeeeeeeees

Printed a couple of tee's at work the other day. came up so amazing. I'm thinking of printing a few and selling them. yell out if you'd like one.

inspired.

i have a folder on my hard drive called 'assorted cool shit off the net' that's filled with heaps of random, unknown images. last week a girl at work lent me a book on design, and i can now put a name to a few of these 'cool shit' things. This book was about a number of famous artists, all of whom i'd never heard of, but work i'd seen everywhere. i'm posting it here for my own reference so i don't forget it, but also as inspiration for anyone who wants to be a mad-dog.

Stylemaster

I was at a mates place the other day who's studying fashion design. She had sketches all over her desk and it inspired me to draw some fashion. I also took inspiration from Seth. It is a graphic image, so don't click here if you're sensitive to a cock n balls.
