A pair of art nouveau portrait commissions I had the pleasure of doing last month. They request Korra with water elements and Asami with mechanical elements highlighting their relationship. I’m really happy with their expressions looking at one another.
These drawings were done on separate 9 x 12″ bristol paper using Copic Multiliners.
I am very proud of these counter designs for the Twisted Game, especially the Art Nouveau style elemental tokens and the fire blast! The top down terrain tokens where something completely unlike anything else I have had to illustrate and were a really fun challenge.
A few of the counters are blanks for numbers, character states, etc… to be added once the rules had been finalised. I have seen the final counters printed and die-cut with the completed game and I think they turned out pretty cool.
Six years ago I had an idea to design a drinks poster with a woman dropping into a glass and the splash creating her dress. I developed the idea, inspired by old Moulin Rouge posters, it became an Absinthe poster.
A few months ago I was approached a new hotel in the UK asking if they could used the illustration as feature in their secret Absinthe bar. I loved the idea but the image was not really finished and definitely not able to be printed and framed at a large scale. And they wanted it LARGE.
So this is the entirely new revised Absinthe Poster. Printed nearly 2 meters tall.
I have also started on 2 other vintage drink poster to make up the set. Once they are all finished I will have them available for sale as prints. Just not as large.
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.
Do you need a Little Groot in your life?
I have 2 new Little Groot Plush toys for sale at Oz Comic-Con Melbourne this weekend!
These are my own design and handmade by me for the convention. They are made from cream fleece with quality green fabric paint shading. The eye detail and leaves are hand cut felt. They have black plastic safety eyes and hand embroidered smiles.
The stand about 21cm tall which is roughly what I could estimate as”life size” from GotG2.
Something a bit different from my usual style – this is a commission I finished recently for a Green Arrow fan combining his favourite versions of Team Arrow.
In the future he plans to get a version of this illustration as a tattoo so it was very important to get all of the details right!
It is always fun to draw superheros. It reminds me of how much I loved comics growing up and the hours I pored over them and the hours and hours I spent drawing the characters from them.
The characters depicted belong to their respective copyright holders.

Another commission from last year and probably one of the most complex plush toys I have created in a while, a custom chibi Captain Jane Shepard.
She is a small but huggable 16 inches tall plush made with high quality and very soft fleece material with felt and embroidered details.
The custom hair style and skin color was requested by the client. Her armour is made from dark grey and black fleece and felt with applique ribbon for the stripes. Her lips, eyes and all other embroidered/applique was done freehand. The base of her boots is re-enforced with plasticard to help them keep their shape (flat at the bottom) and help her stand.
I designed and made this cute little Godzilla plush as a Christmas present for a friend who has everything. The plush would be roughly 30cm tall (I forgot to measure the finished plush once it was finished) made from grey-ish green fleece with grey felt claws and back spikes. There are plastic “beans” in the feet and bottom to help him sit up right and give him weight. The eyes are made with embroidered gold glitter felt.
I am thinking of simplifying this pattern to make smaller Godzilla plushies to sell in my shop and at my upcoming events.
