All At Sea

 

A recent illustration I made for an awesome show coming up on the 3 June 2011. Lots of super talented NZ musicians which will make for a great night - cant wait!

I have been spending a lot of time lately beavering away in my studio finishing a series of birthday card designs. Also have some prints coming soon from 'The Isles' series  - thanks to all those that have shown interest in them.

Here is what I am currently wishing for on my book shelf.. M.Sasek - New York, Rome, Paris or London - any title would be lovely... so hard to decide :)

opening

The opening of my exhibition 'The Ship, The Yeti and All That Came After' kicked off last friday. Thanks to all of the folks how came out for it! I really appreciate the support! It was great to meet so many new people and get feedback on the works I had made. Thanks too to The Framing Workshop for hosting us. The show is open till the 2nd of June so if you missed fridays opening there is plenty of time to pop by and see it. Let me know what you think.

Process

A few Iphone pics of the process behind my current exhibition showing at The Framing Workshop till the 2nd June.

You may notice i have had a re-shuffle of things on my website. The curious side of me loves it when others show their process and sketchbooks so I've created a page for my own Here. Ill be adding more to it as I get pages scanned.  Another new page titled 'Projects' features design projects, exhibitions and collaborations and anything else that takes my fancy.. so stay tuned for more on this page. And finally a Links page - which features links to some of the very talented friends I know and clients I have collaborated with.

'The Ship, The Yeti and All That Came After' opens tonight, 120 Silverdale Road, 5.30-7pm - love to see you there!

This is a piece from my artist statement...

The Isles

These works are part of an ongoing series based on the idea of sand saucers which I used to make as a child. A few MORE here! I've had these little creatures wandering around my sketchbook for some time now and these island saucers seemed good places for them to explore. I hope to eventually make them into story illustrations.

See one of my favourite characters from the series HERE!  Im trying to think of a good name for him.... Any ideas?
