OZ Comic-Con Melbourne July 1-2

I will be at Table 66 at OZ Comic-Con Melbourne next weekend, July 1-2. Not only will I be selling prints and plush toys I am teaching a workshop!

If you are around on the Sunday at 4:00pm I will be talking about creating unique character designs and how to improve your figure drawing. I should be at the “Community Stage” but check your Event Guide. It’s that booklet that you get that you only look at once you’re back home…


New Ripley/Alien Prints

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”.


Team Arrow Commission

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.


Fairytale “Jewel Thief”

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.


“Mermay” Eel Mermaid Sketch

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.


Original “Princess Leia” Painting Auction

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.

Follow this Ebay Link to see all of the great artwork donated to support awareness and funding to cure brain cancer.


Kiki’s Delivery Service Prints

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

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!

Psylocke Art Nouveau Prints

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.
