Great news! My cover for the second album from Bannerman titled 'Dearly Departed' has been listed as a finalist for 'Best Album Cover' at the Vodafone NZ Music Awards 2012! There are some amazing finalists in the running and I feel so honored to be listed among them - especially for the second year running. Thanks Richie and Lucy for putting me up for nomination! The winner is announced on the 3rd October. Here is an article released today on the NZ Herald website.
It was great fun to speak at Spark 2012 yesterday as part of the graduate panel along with the likes of Michelle Savill and Adam Smith. Thanks to all who came along to listen to my very nervous but thankfully smooth talk on my background since leaving Wintec.
Afterwards I got to host an illustration work shop with some awesome creative people. We spent our time creating islands similar to my Isles Series and chatting about illustration. Thanks to all who came - hope you all had fun!
Thanks also to Kat Cox, Mark Liu and Wintec for inviting me to be a part of Spark! Only one more day to go now of excellent speakers here.
Im speaking at Spark tomorrow on the Graduate Panel with fellow graduate Michelle Savill. Free Entry, 1-2pm at the Wintec Hub. Followed by a illustration workshop in the afternoon. Check out the time table and find out more about Spark 2012 here.
This is an illustration I recently did for Little Treasures Magazine for an article about children and anxiety. I was very scared of shadows when I was young - fortunately I love them now :)
This illustration is part of a project I started a wee while ago. With the olympics in full swing it seemed an appropriate time to post it!
