I realised I forgot to share the finished version of this commission from last month. The client asked for a Mucha inspired Death from the Endless “sketch”. She is one of my favourite comicbook characters so I was excited to get started!
This is my first ever “con sketch” commission and it was so much fun to do I think I will have to do more.

I have had the pleasure of doing two Death of the Endless commissions recently. This piece is particularly unique because it fills the end pages of an epic collections of commissions (all of Death) from an impressive list of artist. It is a truly special book and an honour to complete the collection.
The design measures 13 x 34 cm and was drawn directly onto the back inside cover and last page using Copic fineliners and black ink. I also designed a new signature monogram especially for this piece which I think I will use from now on.
New Ripley/Alien Print!
This piece is for my dear friend Ellen- keep going, keep fighting.
I wanted try to create a tribute to the 1979 Alien film but I felt that the soft romantic Art Nouveau style that I love wouldn’t be appropriate. But the style of Aubrey Beardsley and H.R. Giger’s Xenomorphs had a certain harmony.
Knowing that both artist studied architecture I found inspiration for the composition in the depictions of St George in church windows.
I will have a limited number of A3 posters of this piece at Oz Comic-con Melbourne on July 1-2. Find me at Table 66 near the “Comic District”.
This idea started out as a concept for a new web banner combining symbols from classic fairytales. As I work on it more it developed into its own story of a fairy thief and a magic glowing jewel.
I slowly worked on inking this image a bit at a time in a quiet moment or two as a way to relax amongst all of the events of the last few months.
I still need to make a new web banner but I enjoyed the journey this piece took.
I didn’t want to May to finish before I did at least one #mermay drawing! This is a blue color pencil and pen sketch of eel like mermaid concept that might feature in the comic I’ve started.
I think I still need to refine the character more working on the balance of alluring but frightening.
There are only a few days left to place a bid on my original painting “Princess Leia” for The Force Kick Brain Cancer charity auction.

Kiki’s Delivery Service is one of my favourite movies. She is so hopeful and brave, dreaming and finding her way. The conversation between her and her friend about magic and art needing inspiration struck a cord.

I will be selling prints of this painting at Supanova to go with my Princess Mononoke tribute painting I did last year.
Find me and both prints at Table 74 in the Grand Pavilion!
When I was a kid I thought Psylocke was cool. Rogue was my favourite but Psylocke was a close second.
Despite her ridiculous costume (everyone looked pretty outrageous in comics at that time) she had dark hair and a sword and wasn’t a villain (or at least only briefly). What little girl didn’t want to grow up to have long purple hair and be a ninja?
Here is my tribute to her as a poster I would have loved to have as a kid.
I will be selling this as prints at Supanova Melbourne 2017 and my other up coming conventions.
My finished art nouveau inspired Princess Leia painting for the #KickBrainCancer charity auction in May. I’m donating the framed original painting to help raise money for Cure Brain Cancer.
