Art Deco – Poison Ivy

Art Deco - Poison Ivy

Art Deco – Poison Ivy to finish off my Art Deco DC set.  I had the idea for an art deco rose bud shawl for months and I finally was able to realise it for Ivy’s dress.

All 3 prints will for sale along with one more new design I will reveal later this week.

 


Art Deco – Catwoman

Continuing my Art Deco DC character redesigns with Catwoman. Inspired by the elegant concepts of Erté, the prolific 20th-century artist and designer, I started re imaging the already heavily art deco Batman: The Animated Series characters into fashion illustrations.

Her hat is based on a genuine 1920’s McCall’s sewing pattern with slight modifications.

I will be selling Art Deco Catwoman and Harley Quinn prints at events this year.


Korben Dallas – 5th Element

The companion piece to my Supreme Being painting – Korben Dallas.  The 5th Element is one of my all time favourite movies and Bruce Willis is the coolest (Die Hard being one of my most favourite movies too!)

I will be selling prints of both at Supanova Melbourne in April.


Painting Tin – WIP Wednesday

WIP Wednesday –  Painting on to a tin sign.

BrotherhoodOfSteel_PinUp_WIP

Inspired by the work of George Petty and WWII nose art, I’m experimenting with painting directly on to metal. The painting is on a new-made-to-look-old tin sign that I sanded and distressed myself.

Those of you with a keen eye and a knowledge of popular video games might be able to guess what she is promoting.

I will have the finished painting for sale at Supanova Melbourne next month.


Lara Croft – Art Nouveau

Lara Croft

Lara Croft  –  Art Nouveau style poster based on the Inktober sketch I did last year.  I will have this for sale as prints at my upcoming conventions.

Happy Women’s Day! Everyday!


Month of Love – Fantasy: Fern Heart

Fern Heart

Month of Love: Fantasy

“Fern Heart”

“The Oldest of all, the Queen of the Forest hid her heart

Under lock and blade, By frond and key”

From a very rough thumbnail this painting, along with her story developed very quickly. I found inking the tiny plant details very soothing.

 


Month of Love – Weapons: Eros, God of Love

Month of Love- Weapons :Eros, God of Love

Month of Love Challenge : Weapons

“Love is war: choose your Weapon.”

Eros, the winged Greek god of love, desire, embodies sexual power. Armed with golden bow and arrows he interferes with the lives of gods and mortals.


Year of the Fire Monkey – 2016

Year Of The Fire Monkey 2016

Happy Lunar New Year!

Wishing everyone a joyful and successful Year of the Fire Monkey! This year I missed going to the festivities in the city but did get to have a great BBQ with my family.

Saying good bye to the year of the Ram (or sheep)…

Year Of The Ram - 2015


Month of Love – Heros : Princess Mononoke

MonthofLove_PrincessMononoke_LilyMcDonnell

Joining in the “Month of Love” February weekly art challenges this year – Just scraping in to this weeks challenge “Heroes, Protagonists and Idols”.

To Hayao Miyazaki – one of my real life heros.

For my grandfather who I watched Princess Mononoke with for the 1st time as a child. He pretended not to be interested but sat and watched the whole thing.

And San as a great hero herself – strong, protective and loving.
