After sitting on this one for 4 or 5 months I decided to give a crack at colouring this, as it has been a while since I have coloured anything digitally. The colour scheme I used is a bit different then my usual palette as it is a bit more muted and earthy. I thought at first the colours I had chosen would be to complicated and make
My favourite, LA's noise rock destructionists HEALTH are back with the announcement of SLAVES OF FEAR, a new album and song of the same title. I fell in love with these guy in 2010, when I saw then at the final day of Primavera Sound when they closed down the festival. Being it was in Barcelona, Spain the festival started later then most festivals and went later then
I have been a huge fan of ImagineFX magazine, a digital and tradition magazine that specialises in fantasy, science fiction, and conceptual art, for years, and have spent countless hours reading through the articles featuring different international artists giving insight into their working process while providing numerous tutorials that show into the steps undertaken when creating a specific piece of art. These tutorials have enabled me to learn
This story I've know about for years, has continued to get absolutely no media coverage on TV and next to none in the press, shows corruption and collusion to the highest degree and exactly what happens when you have powerful friends that are intertwined in your illegal activities, even when dealing with human trafficking and child sex crimes. Although some media outlets are now covering this case because
2018 is the first time I have had the time to participate in Inktober, and it was truly enjoyable and forced me to work much faster then I'm used to. The constraint on time (for those that don't know Inktober is when artists participate by posting a finished ink illustration everyday for the whole month of October (or as close as possible)) quickened my pace and I still
Last month I collaborated with Warrborn, a Vancouver metal band, on the artwork for their first full length album. It has been a few years since I have undertaken full album art for a band, so it was cool to get to do something a little bloodier and gorier. I really like the way the inside of the album art matches up with the wrap-around cover, and gives
Long before Amy and I arrived in Australia or even knew that we would one day in the near future end up here, we dreamed of getting to Australia so we could visit the private island that her grandparents own. They built the house and landscaped the rest of the island creating a little garden paradise on a tiny island. We were unsure that we would ever get
2018 is the first time I have participated in Inktober and for those who do not know what this means, Inktober is an artist challenge that runs the length of October in which artist post an ink drawing everyday to social media. It is a way for artists to force themselves to push out work as fast as possible while and at a steady pace for one month.
Over the last few months Amy and I have been doing at least one long hike or walk every two weeks to explore the city and the surrounding area. Sydney is encompassed by three major national parks on all three sides (Ku Ring Gai to the North, The Blue Mountains to the West, and The Royal National Park to the South) all of which have a larger footprint
King of the Dead. Drawn on 9 x 12 inch watercolour paper with Micron 0.5mm pens. This is the cumulation of about 40- 50 hours of line drawing, crosshatching, and stippling. This piece is the most detailed ink drawing I have ever untaken and a progression in different techniques which I feel I am starting to master. This is a representation of the King of the Dead is
