Vector construction
Screen capture of an old thing I drew using Illustrator. This works so much better as a “meta-comic” with the control points programmed to highlight as colour complements to the original line work.

Brush experiment
This is from one of those weird moments when you make a drawing and think, where did that come from? It’s produced during an out of body experience. I like pictures you can look back on and they feel like they were done while you were mesmerised.

Character Design
In class we’re looking at the idea of characters driving plot and/or motivation defining character, so I thought I’d post a couple of characters I designed for the Stop Live Exports campaign a couple of years back.

The Picture In Design
My book is out! Published through Common Ground in the U.S. it tries to establish a picture theory specific to the graphic design milieu. The book seeks to redress the bias towards typography in graphic design theory, and give to illustrators, art directors and designers the words to defend their pictorial design decisions. It got a very favourable review from Australia’s premier graphic design magazine, Desktop.

Post Number 100!
The next strip of the comic I’m working on. At this rate I should have 12 pages done this year! I won’t blame my day-job for getting in the way. I’ll blame my night-job.

Colour test brush test
A quick colour test for a new comic I’m working on. Still plugging away with the W&N sable number 2 brush for the blacks, but colouring using Illustrator. Still too hesitant! Just when i think I’m motoring along nicely with my artwork, i pick up an old Metal Hurlant and have cause to think again! Having great French and Belgian influences is a double-edged sword!

What’s my style X ?
Illustration using dip pen and ink, and wet in wet ink wash on water colour paper. I made this for a Hidden Shoal Recordings compilation album.

Sylvain Chomet
A still from the wonderful, The Illusionist, by Sylvain Chomet. Tati’s mannerisms are captured beautifully, as are his enduring anti-modernist themes, in the drawings. A masterpiece. A must-see.
