A belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Wishing you all peace and joy for the year ahead!
Continuing with my Art Deco Christmas dress designs, this year is Holly.
“Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown”
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.
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”.
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.

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.
Wishing everyone peace and prosperity in the Year of the Rooster. May it bring you strength and luck.
Good Bye Year of the Monkey
