All of these are pen and ink on paper, completed April 2009, and those that are coloured were done with watercolours.

Below is a collaborative piece. I created the composition and inks, and it was textured and coloured by Stuart Spaans

In between studying at school and working, I've been muddling along with painting various natural and fantastical scenes as they waddle into my brain. These are the best pieces (although I hope they feed and reform into better ideas as I continue to work).

All of these are watercolour on paper, and A5 (148 x 210mm) or smaller.
























Some experiments with colour, saturation and subject have been more successful than others, so over the next couple of months (once I'm back from overseas) I'll be refining, toning and organising the ideas into larger, more complex works.

Everything here is also at deviantart but I'm posting some of the better bits in case people can't be bothered clicking on the link.

These are my favourites from the last couple of months. Gaze at them and weep with joy!


Fun play times with a stock photo from wakenthedeadstock on deviantart. Watercolour on paper. He's called 'Meat Puppet'.
 

Portrait of my friend Shaun, watercolour on paper.

Two quick studies of Paul and Ben, respectively. Both watercolour on paper.

Study of my friend (and excellent artist) Sam. Ink on paper.

Bit of landscape action down near the Sydney Wharfs. Ink on cotton paper.

Most of the ones below represent works I'm putting up for sale in some local shops / yoga centres. Most of them have an east-asian feel, so I've been delving into my past to pour forth some spiritual chops that will hopefully appeal to walls everywhere. Currently I'm working on my favourite two of the lot so far, a matching pair portraying Shiva and Parvati in watercolour.

Series of three Burmese monk studies. Watercolour on paper.

Another monk, imagine that! Watercolour on paper.

Ganesh in two parts. Watercolour on cotton.

A new project is in the works - can't say too much in case the situation changes, but if all goes well then some of my illustrations should be published quite soon!

Aside from that, I've been studying hard at art school. A few of the better works are below. Some watercolours, some pencil sketches from life drawing and a couple of pen illustrations. There should be more on the way soon.

I apologise for the poor quality of the images, as well. I can't get my enormous sketchpad on the scanner, so the photos are a bit dodgy.

n.b: the pen drawings are interpretations of works by Andrew Loomis, should you recognise them.

Here's hoping your jiggly day is as good as ours (although you can see we've obviously got a few week's head start!)

Another new watercolour.

Watercolour on paper, finished September 2006. This one is called 'Better off mute.'

Two art comps coming up in October, which I'm going to enter some of these watercolours in to. Wish me luck.
