Double splash page

So this right here is the middle of a story I've been working on entitled dance dance. I have inked 4 pages of it so far I think, and I have one page left to pencil, and three left to ink. I'm digging drawing it.

The double splash page was something I had never done before, hell, I'd never even done a single splash page. It was cool to try and make it interesting and yet still flow.

I actually took this photo at the Takapuna library, which was my "studio" for the day. I was waiting on my car to get fixed, so while stranded on Auckland's North Shore City, thought I might as well do, what I had been planning on doing which was get some more art done. I took the second page in as well in case I was super keen, but it turns out I only had time for one page. Which I then eventually re-inked anyway, because the ink I grabbed off my desk that morning was just crap.

Stick with what works I guess.

New ActionMan Adam Sticker

Hello Hello.

What is up? It's Sunday afternoon. Beautiful day outside. Tragically I am not outside. Things to do as per usual. I'm OK with it though. Don't feel sorry for me.

Some new ActionMan Adam stickers are in. I have some smaller ones of the same design due soon. As always, hit me up with an email if you'd like a couple and I'll send for free.

Isn't summer great?

Awesome.

It's been too long

2007 is quickly rolling to an end. I haven't posted in a while. Lazy bugger? No not quite. I've had the same productivity as always. In fact I had a couple of deadlines to meet which prevented me to getting around to posting here. I have a few more art ideas up my sleeve that I want to bust out. Time is always my enemy. I'm loving experimentation though. Trying different things to create new results (for me) has been exciting.

Below is a commission piece I did for www.mrvintage.co.nz . They wanted something to stick up around the place, to help push through their awareness before Christmas was upon us. I started out with a fairly basic brief. Thinking black and white might be the way to roll to make the flyer cheaper, but they wanted colour to give it pop. Colouring is still something I play with, as opposed to confidently do. I enjoy it, but I guess I'm not technically accurate in terms of colouring with consideration to light source and all that. When I throw colour down, I just want it to look fun and bright, and hopefully work not only as a drawing, but as an advertisement.

Colours



Finally. This is a stencil piece I was playing with to show a friend of mine. I'll send him the result after Christmas. We're looking at collaborating together. This was not a perfect result. It gives you the general idea of where I was going though. Unfortunately the photo does not do it justice. I shot it at night time in poor lighting. The colours are bright neon. If you can imagine.

Hope everything is sweet where ever you are. If I don't get a post in before hand. Have an awesome holiday season.
