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.
Seeing Craig, our model, share one of my drawings on Instagram reminded me that I had forgotten to share my sketches from the start of the month!
These sketches are from Covert Character’s Robin Hood themed night. I think there was a great Classical feel to the poses like each one could be a sculpture or figure from an old oil painting.
More information about my up coming life drawing classes can be found on the Covert Characters Facebook page>
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.

As part of Free Comic Book Day, All Star Comics Melbourne has an Artist Alley where local artist do free sketches to raise money for the charity, Beyond Blue.
This was my second year participating and this year we set up the camera to record the afternoons sketching.
“Little Boy with Headphones” is probably my favourite drawing of the day. You can see through out the video the boy’s hand pointing at the photo of himself on the phone.
Thank you to everyone that came by to watch, support the cause and request a sketch!
Having just heard that I have table at OZ Comic Con in July I thought I would share this photo from 2 weeks ago at Supanova Melbourne.
James and I had just arrived home after going to Spectrum Fantastic Art Live in Kansas City, MO. We were both exhausted, I was very sick from travelling.
We couldn’t have made it through the weekend without the support of our convention family
Thank you very much to our friends Nicole for Saturday and Ben for Sunday for stepping in to look after us. We greatly appreciated your help!
Thank you to everyone that stopped by and said hello and to everyone that bought something. You all made it all worth it!
Last weekend was Free Comic Book Day and I want to thank the crew at All Star Comics Melbourne for inviting me back to their FCBD Artist Alley this year!
Thank you to everyone that stop to watch me draw, get a sketch and make a donation to this year’s cause – Beyond Blue.
It was especially nice to have friends and family stop by to support me
If I had to pick a favourite sketch from this year I would have to pick the little boy in the headphones.
Last month was crazy! I am just starting to catching up on posts and updates now.
These are sketches from my last life drawing class in April for our Samurai themed session with Chris Masters Mah as our model.
A special thank you to Tristan and Wyman Young for lending us their beautiful wooden katana.
Speaking of updates- I will be hosting Covert Characters Life Drawing tomorrow night May 10th in Fitzroy.
The theme will be Robin Hood. For more details check out the Covert Characters page.
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.
“Stop trying. Take long walks. Look at scenery. Doze off at noon. Don’t even think about flying. And then, pretty soon, you’ll be flying again.” – Ursula

This cute little thief loves to collect shiny treasure and comes holding on to his newest find, a bright gold coin. Inspired by the fantasy creature Nifflers from Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter this plush sits at approx. 22cm (8 ½ inches) tall and 15cm (6 inches) at the widest part of the body. His small size makes him perfect to hold and squeezable polyfill stuffing makes him great to cuddle.
The Niffler is made from soft black and light pink fleece with back plastic safety eyes and hand-stitched nose holes. He holds in his paws a oversized plastic gold coin securely attached to each arm.
Please note that the other coins and shiny beads in the photos are for decorative purposes and are not included with the plush.
All of my plush toys are made with love in a smoke free home.
Each plush is carefully package in a cotton drawstring bag, boxed and sent via Australia Post. Tracking on international postage is available.
