Singapore - Animals

During our recent visit to Singapore we got the chance to see the night safari and daytime zoo, where I got to relive my childhood dream of being a wild life photographer! (- what child/adult doesn't dream of working for National Geographic or WWF?). The great thing about this zoo is they really make it feel like there is nothing separating you from the animals - which is pretty special I think. Along the way I found so many great characters and excellent drawing reference subjects. Check out my photography section for more.

 

40 Winks...

This is a poster I whipped together for an up and coming illustration show at Draw Inc.  It opens next Friday the 6th of July at 5.30pm, Alexander St, Hamilton. Do come along and check out all the awesome illustrators and their take on the folk tale/dream theme!  I've got a series of giclee prints based on an inuit folk tale about a Hunter and a Polar Bear - with rather too many legs!

Gary Venn and I collaborated on this poster - thanks Gary for your pencil and lettering skills!

3x3 Magazine - Merit Award

Um.. so the most amazing thing has happened ... I Won A Merit Award in the 3x3 Annual Illustration Professional Show this year!!!  I just cant believe my name is listed among some of the most amazing illustrators who I totally admire and have done for so many years! Its ridiculous!! :)

Here is a great write up about the judging process and you can see the other winners here.   Thanks to 3x3 and this years judges for honoring my work in this way! The Annual is due out this coming summer (winter for us here in the south).

Greetings from Singapore!

Believe it or not we are in Singapore at the moment, partly for work and partly for a holiday! We were fortunate enough to be invited over to play at the New Zealand Chamber of Commerce Ball - Jayden plays bass in the band Late 80s Mercedes. It was a blast as you can see by the photos.

We are here for the week and have so far really enjoyed hanging out with our friends and exploring some of the sights around Singapore.

Men & Mountains - Hannah Cleland

I went to the opening of this show by my friend Hannah Cleland on friday. So many lovely ceramic pieces and beautiful photographs to choose from. Here are a few iphone photos - sorry for the poor quality.

I especially loved the delicate clouds hanging above the mountains and after much dithering I decided this was my favourite mountain!
