Art Deco – Catwoman

Continuing my Art Deco DC character redesigns with Catwoman. Inspired by the elegant concepts of Erté, the prolific 20th-century artist and designer, I started re imaging the already heavily art deco Batman: The Animated Series characters into fashion illustrations.

Her hat is based on a genuine 1920’s McCall’s sewing pattern with slight modifications.

I will be selling Art Deco Catwoman and Harley Quinn prints at events this year.


Korben Dallas – 5th Element

The companion piece to my Supreme Being painting – Korben Dallas.  The 5th Element is one of my all time favourite movies and Bruce Willis is the coolest (Die Hard being one of my most favourite movies too!)

I will be selling prints of both at Supanova Melbourne in April.


Painting Tin – WIP Wednesday

WIP Wednesday –  Painting on to a tin sign.

BrotherhoodOfSteel_PinUp_WIP

Inspired by the work of George Petty and WWII nose art, I’m experimenting with painting directly on to metal. The painting is on a new-made-to-look-old tin sign that I sanded and distressed myself.

Those of you with a keen eye and a knowledge of popular video games might be able to guess what she is promoting.

I will have the finished painting for sale at Supanova Melbourne next month.

Month of Love – Fantasy: Fern Heart

Fern Heart

Month of Love: Fantasy

“Fern Heart”

“The Oldest of all, the Queen of the Forest hid her heart

Under lock and blade, By frond and key”

From a very rough thumbnail this painting, along with her story developed very quickly. I found inking the tiny plant details very soothing.

 


The Knave – Knave Knixx

A special birthday present portrait of my friend, The Knave aka Knave Knixx – DJ, musician, entertainer and cool dude.

The two sides represent his different performance styles and the surrounding elements inspired by traditional playing card motifs mixed with symbols based on his music.

 


Month of Love – Weapons: Eros, God of Love

Month of Love- Weapons :Eros, God of Love

Month of Love Challenge : Weapons

“Love is war: choose your Weapon.”

Eros, the winged Greek god of love, desire, embodies sexual power. Armed with golden bow and arrows he interferes with the lives of gods and mortals.


Custom Mabel Pines Unicorn Plush

The client that requested the small Dipper Pines plush also commissioned a unique Mabel Unicorn plush inspired by the Gravity Falls “The Last Mabelcorn” episode.

The finished plush is roughly 8 inches long (not including tail) and stands 12 inches tall including her horn. She is made from soft fleece with felt appliqué detail for the shooting star, eyes and mouth. The design also includes 3D eyelashes made from foam and plasticard re-enforced hooves.

 


Covert Characters Life Drawing – Lorelle Rogue

After our local Dr. Sketchy’s wrapped up last year I’ve been eager to get back to life drawing. This month I was lucky enough to find a lovely new life drawing group with interesting themed events called Covert Characters.

Our model was Lorelle Rogue, alternative model and aerialist, striking beautiful poses with her silks.
