Zombie Resume

My Zombie Resume is going to be in the next issue of Radio As Paper. 

Radio As Paper is published by the talented and hardworking Jerome Bihan, the Auckland launch for the new issue is at Dry Dairy on the 25th of March. It will also be launched in Wellington at The Russian Frost Farmers (I think) and somewhere in Christchurch too. Check the Radio As Paper blog for details.

new old stuff- Hoopla

These little pieces were for a show at Seed Gallery, where I interned last year. The show was called Hoopla, we were each given 10 wooden hoops to make into some art. I would of liked to have done something more elaborate, like little dioramas or some such, but time and reimbursement from their sale prevented me. But at least 9 of them sold, woop. They're all gouache except for the bottom right. Here's the link to the exhibition... zing.
I'm currently working on another Seed Gallery project, House of Cards. They've given two playing cards to 26 artists to reinterpret, I've got the 8 of clubs and Jack of hearts and am working in watercolour this time. I get a pack of cards out of it and can sell my work for however much I like.

100 Clams

Another poster for The High Seas, this one is for the Christmas show where everything is $100, should be a doosey!

Kevin Blechdom!!!

The High Seas (+ Cheese on Toast) is presenting Kevin Blechdom!!!! So I got to do the poster for it, it was a really fun one to do, put it all together on photoshop. Thank god there are so many ridiculous cat photos on the internet!
I'm super excited about the show, Kevin Blechdom is one of my favourites and last time she played it was stunning, the guts! the nudity!
 There's a good sample album of hers from a radio interview on PBSfm which is available on the free music archive here.

Stamp design

Here's a drawing for a stamp for our brown paper bags at The High Seas, hopefully it won't be too complicated/impossible/expensive to make...

Professionalissmo

My first design commission that hasn't been for friends or gig posters. Getting paid rules!

Some Drawings

These drawings were in Draw III, the first show at The High Seas. The top two are a purplish/black ink I got in Berlin on watercolour paper. The bottom one is indian ink and an old sienna ink that I found in the inorganic collection.
More images of the show can be seen here http://blog.thehighseas.co.nz/2009/09/draw-iii.html

Pink Reason

Pink Reason came and played at our gallery. They were AWESOME. I did the poster.

Mermaid

Le High Seas

Last night was the opening of Draw III and the first time The High Seas had opened its doors to the public and was a great success! We have another blerg for that http://www.thehighseas.co.nz/blog/ so I won't go on about it here but the positive responce we had was very exciting (and relieving!). Phew all our hard slog was not for nuthink. Pictures of works in the show to come soon.....

Wild Emily

This is a sketch I did at my weekly drawing group of Emily with some embellishments.

Some photoshop stuffs

Sometimes I just like to play around drawing stuff in photoshop. I like the naivety and shonkiness of the results.








This last image was a thank you card for a wireless mouse.

Zombie Résumé

These images were for a two layer screenprint I made for a zombie themed exhibition at Cross Street studios. The piece is called Zombie Résumé and grew out of an idea I had for a comic about an old man who uses zombies to run errands and carry out menial tasks for him. I thought the image of a zombie carrying things on his outstretched arms was kinda funny so wanted to keep that. I wanted to do a hobbies section (bowling and disemboweling) but ran out of space. I'll put up a pic of the finished print when I get around to taking a photo of it.


I have excellent customer service skills.



I have a high standard of personal grooming.



I am a team player and get on well with my co-workers.



I am also very good at carrying things.

Posters

I've been pretty busy this last month with organizing stuff for The High Seas, a new gallery/venue/bookshop/record shop of which I am co-director. Here are some posters I did for the first two events happening there.

Sleeping Petro

I did this a while back, its the first scene from the Pterosaur book.

Fly on decks

Here's a wee sketch for a project I'm working on. Its an epic poem about a spider captain and his crew of flies, fleas and moths.
