Pitched for a job recently involving another comic book, didn’t materialize in the end but I thought I would share some of the pitch samples. Went for a fairly traditional style as per request, not really my style of colouring either but good to try it out and the whole thing was good practice and a chance to blow off those comic book cobwebs. Always helps to be versatile!

Yeeeears ago Levi’s comissioned me and my buddy Stef to do an instore painting at the opening of one of their stores. I decided denim, rock n’ roll, so I did a portrait of a girl who wants to be Iggy Pop and we surrounded it with printed confessions from groupies.
Here’s the initial sketch I did and some photos from the event. yeeeears ago and I still have the free jeans they gave me!

Been having a spring clean of my hard drives and found lots of stuff that i forgot I had done so I’m going on a posting frenzy over the next couple of days.
Thinking maybe I should do a poster section in my portfolio, because of ColdRice I have built up quite a collection over the years. Here’s one I did for my friends Jon and Matt when they played my fair city, they loved it so much I had to rearrange the design to incorporate all the tour dates so they could use it as a tour poster but I don’t seem to have that version lying around anywhere. Anyway, listen to me grandpa-ing on, here’s the illustration and the finished poster too.

Holy moley, been nearly 2 months again since I updated… sheesh, how do you internet people do it? I plan on a big update to the portfolio section real soon, until then, to get myself back in the swing of things, here’s a drawing of my favourite robot M.I.L.O being all dramatic and Kirby-like with his perspective.

But if anyone can rise from the grave, it’s you.

Mr Rhythm, almost every band or promoter I’ve ever met has an Andre Williams anecdote and they’re always absolutely insane!

The Psychic Soviet, Black Gemini. An oldie.

Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers,Reigning Sound… one of the best songwriters out there right now. And look at his cute head!
