I realised I forgot to share the finished version of this commission from last month. The client asked for a Mucha inspired Death from the Endless “sketch”. She is one of my favourite comicbook characters so I was excited to get started!
This is my first ever “con sketch” commission and it was so much fun to do I think I will have to do more.

Another magical night with Dr Sketchy’s! Camilla & Michelle were dazzling vintage beauties and than beautiful blue muses. The performance and poses to follow inspired by Yves Klein was something truly special!
It was a really fun experiment with drawing with the blue watercolor pencil and then paint over it with water. I then could draw over the wet paper again to emphasis shadows and lines.
Looking forward to the next wild art party!

Drawing from our Mad Hatter’s Tea Party life drawing session at the start of the month. Hamish brings so much energy and character into his posses.
Reminder: This Wed August 30th will be the last class I will be teaching for the year! We have the lovely Silhouettê d’Amour, model and amazing cosplayer, posing as Bishoujo Edward Scissorhands! So join us for an evening of art and fun!
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.

Every Dr Sketchy’s event is wonderful and totally unlike any other drawing class. I tried to explain it to my friends as “Burlesque-like Performance Art Event with Audience Participation and Some Drawing”! Its more important that everyone is having a good time experiencing art and making art than studying form and improving technique.
The last session was truly incredible and fun in the unique way only Dr Sketchy’s Melbourne art parties can be! Thank you Mel, Agent Cleave and Dandrogyny for an amazing night 🙂

Another great night of life drawing with Covert Characters! Our model John was both the dynamic hero and sophisticated man of mystery. We continue our movie themed classes with a tribute to “The Wild Ones” next Wednesday night. The beautiful Tijana will be playing Marlon Brando with her motorcycle! Yes there will be a motorcycle inside the studio for you to draw 🙂

I had a great time at Oz Comic-Con this weekend! Thank you to everyone that came by my table and supported me with your kind words and purchases.
Like every event I could not make it through without my wonderful helpers and friends <3 I am especially grateful to my sister and Ben for coming to help on Sunday when I did my first ever workshop. That is a photo of me doing last minute revision and notes for my presentation looking deceptively calm.

I will be teaching a Workshop this Sunday July 2nd at Oz Comic-Con Melbourne.

I will also be talking about basic proportion, creating unique characters and how to improve your drawing skills by setting goals.
I will take questions after the workshop or you can visit me at Table 66 near the Comic District.
This class was so much fun! My friend The Knave is incredible as Elvis! He brought great tunes and a great rock n roll attitude 🙂
