Cameo-yo

Yet again I have some works in Seed Gallery's xmas-y show (30 artists are given 10 identical wooden items to artify). This years shape is the delightful cameo oval. Here's a sneak peek at some of my arts, the exhibition opens tonight at 6pm and is up until the 6th of December. 

Ramp it up

I was delighted to be asked by the lovely people at Ramp Gallery in Hamilton to send down some zines for their Small Press exhibition, a "survey of some of the best Australiasian fanzines from recent years" according to their website. Here's the link to the facebook event where you can find all the details and here's a link to some info on the upcoming hamilton zinefest. 

HOT X BUNS

I was lucky enough to be asked to put some work in this upcoming exhibition, I'll be alongside a bunch of super talented ladies. The exhibition is only up for a few days but there are events on the Friday (the opening) and Sunday (closing) and we have lots of great sponsors for all the major food groups; beer, gin, coffee, hot chocolate and, of course hot cross buns.

As we are all illustrators there will also be prints/cards/postcards for sale so even if you don't want to shell out the big bucks you'll be able to afford something.

Seed Gallery invited me to be part of their upcoming Alphabet exhibition. To match the W I decided to base the work on the word 'wanderer' and then lo and behold it turned out all wild west-ish, albeit a funny alien wild west.
There are 26 artists in the show and Seed is producing a pack of alphabet cards from the show and the original works will be for sale too. The exhibition opens on the 25th of June, more about it here.

Duel weilding

So I'm in the unusual position of  having work in shows on both sides of the Tasman. My Wooly Bully show is up til the 23rd or the 24th if yr lucky, and my Evidence painting is making another appearance in a Christmas exhibition, this time as part of Seed's 12 Days of Christmas. Apologies for the shitty photo, it's actually much bigger and better looking, and so Christmassy!

Mossopolis cover!

Well its been bloody ages since I put anthing here, been dealing with the perils of flat inspections, a broken wrist and looking for work. This drawing is for the cover of the lovely Nigel Wright's upcoming 7" 'Mossopolis' (not to be confused with Mothopolis, an altogether different place). The first edition is of 200 and that may or may not be all of them so you'd best be quick smart!
For this drawing I looked back to some older drawings; this one was for the National Drawing Awards at Artspace 2008, I did it while in Berlin back in 08.

And these three were for Draw II, the second exhibition in a series dedicated to drawing which was at the late, great Cross Street Studios back in 2008 as well. I did these ones in Portugal if I remember rightly and sent them back from Amsterdam.

I used this one for The High Seas' first gig poster.
