Busy-ness

I was asked to make a design for a tea towel and to do a flyer for the K road Business Association. It's an adaptation of an earlier drawing. 

Turns out the board went with another design for the tea towel, no matter I'm sure I'll use this for something in the future.

Here it is on zee flyer.

House of Cards opens tonight!

I did two (well three, but only two are in the show) paintings  for Seed Gallery's House of Cards show, which opens tonight at 6pm and is up till the 25th of July.
If you wanted to buy them too bad, they all (3) sold. Ca-chingggg!!!!
But you can still buy the limited edition sets of playing cards.

More blimmin bookplates

A new 4 pack of the dudes, I'm looking into getting them properly printed, inkjet printers are stupid!

House of Cards sneak peek

This watercolour painting is for Seed Gallery's House of Cards exhibition, I'm a bit moth obsessed at the moment.
Designing playing cards is something I've wanted to do for about 10 years so I jumped at the chance to be part of the exhibition.They've asked 27 artists to design two cards in the deck, I got the Jack of Hearts and the 8 of Clubs.
Below is my first attempt at the 8 of Clubs, I didn't leave enough of a margin for the numbers and I'm not too fond of it anymore so I'm re doing it.

The exhibition opens on the 7th of July and goes from the 8th-25th. There's more info here

Become slightly obsessed with the phenomenon of surfing dogs..

I wanted this poster to look like an old record sleeve, I think it came out pretty well. It was actually kind of fun making fake wrinkles and distressed marks. Come along if you be in Auckland.

Repeateat

I used to be really into repeating patterns, its something I want to get back into, so satisfying! I made this one a while back from a design I did in a sketchbook, just took a little bit of tweaking. You can use it as a desktop if you like...

Here's the original:

 

Its Autumn

Skuzzbook Jungle

Master Moth

This is a drawing for a little book I'm making. Its an epic poem about a spider who is the captain of a ship, all his crew-mates are moths, flies or fleas. Most of them meet a grizzly end.

                               Master Moth was whipped overboard,

                               By an unfastened length of cord,

                               The crew searched for some form of assistance,

                               But by then the moth was at quite a distance,

                               Then the waters around him began to teem,

                               With hundreds of greedy eyed sea bream...
