More personal work. GoT had something to do with this one I think.
A little homage to the legend and power of Metal guitar solos. For those who don't know, a Facemelter is a solo of such epicness as to melt one's face. Enjoy!
Decided to go all jelly on this bit of illustrated type. Went a bit crazy with Illustrator and Photoshop...
Goldfrapp - Supernature album cover. A project I'd love to see come to life!
Getting back into some lettering is always fun. As well as getting back to my roots and some French cursing.
Octopus for one of the themed rooms at the awesome Boogie Woogie Beach House Hotel. Thanks to Dave Craig!
Another piece I did for Microsoft Surface stand at the Adobe Make It 2017 event in Sydney. There was no theme here just a loose idea of how fluid the Surface Studio is and the colours I like to play around with.
A bit of a Sergio Leone/Akira Kurosawa mash-up. Gotta love that epic tri-duel (truel?) scene! I think Tarantino would approve of this one...
"Summer's not so hot" is a little piece in the new World Trump order - a comment on climate change and how our hedonistic ways are having a darker impact than we'd like to know. This was submitted for Semi Permanent design conference 2017 in Sydney, and was exhibited as a large scale print at the event under the "Design for Change" theme.
Special thanks to Thiago Nogueira from SemiPermanent and Emily-Jane Shurey from Moo.com.
Little hommage to Toriyama. Just a slightly punk version of his work. Taking some liberties 'n stuff.
A new thing for me - starting to play around with animation. This one is for an AR print project that I worked on with Stu Campbell. Check out the full book and the impressive roter of artists and animators at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Prosthetic.Reality/?fref=nf
You'll nee to download the Eyejack app in order to view these!
The first in a series looking at Cultures and food - and yes, goop... Went for the US first as it gave me the opportunity to drown the hotdog in ketchup and mustard - the way a hotdog should be! The blue inside makes no sense thematically and is just there for legibility's sake, and because why not...
Tribute piece to a legend on screen and in life.
This one was done for Microsoft on their new Surface Studio PC. I don't usually work with these kind of themes but hey asked for an Australian themed illustration and I couldn't resist doing the punk bird gangs that are sulfur crested cockatoos.
Messin' round with me new Cintiq - Voodoo style..
A hand lettering/ illustrated type piece started ages ago in a workshop with Wayne Thompson from the Australian Type Foundry and only recently finished.
A series of illustrations for SBS's Deepwater program. These were for a podcast running along side the TV release of the series on SBS. Thanks to Gina and Justin at SBS.
A fun little illoed type commission based on the great Doors song mashed up with an Apocalypse Now vibe.
A bit of typography indulgence on this modern take on West Side Story
Just got back from Japan and decided to do a series of all my favourite things. First up is the deliciously molten hot octopus balls (not what you think).
Had to do Australia's most famous beach in the series!
Finally done! The Coogee vintage style travel poster. Only a couple beaches left now!
The first of a series focusing on some of my favourite suburbs around Sydney with a vintage travel poster twist. Plenty more to come.
Another in the series of vintage posters. This time Manly beach gets it's go at sunset.
Darling street to the City. Balmain...
Makes sense to include one of the oldest suburbs in this vintage series.
Odd one out? This one was a commission for another great spot.
An incredible project for an illustrated children's book on Edward "Weary" Dunlop. Thanks to Kim and Cat from Random House for this great opportunity!
These album cover illustration were some of my favourite to work on. My friend Bea Rogue came to me asking me to create a couple illustrations for her album and single (Paradise) in a children's book style with a slightly darker twist. I had free reign on these from that point, and created one of my favourite illustrations to date. What's that line about great clients...?

A fun job for Holler Digital in Sydney. They asked me to do a lineup of animals and human with a dash of tech thrown in the mix.. Tim Quinn who's a web dev put this up for me. Go figure...
A bit of fun with watercolours and Photoshop.
A personal piece on Alice.
A bit of type for the header illustration for Creative Mornings. The theme for this months talks around the world was Chance. Super fun project, thanks CM! Shout out to Flyn Tracy for hooking me up with this one.
Commission for a logo and poster for a new music festival in Berry NSW. This was pulled at the last minute by the client.
A few little digitised sketches around Surry Hills.
A commission for refresh of Hemmingway's based novel - A Moveable Feast. Those who've been will spot a rough map of Paris.
This one is quite close to my heart. The team at Bold-Inc. in Sydney asked me to help them out with a label for the port bottles they'd send out in place of the usual Xmas wishes card. Jon and Jarrod had came up with a fantastic design concept, I merely implemented it on a label, the rest is all them. Check out www.bold-inc.com to see more of their work.
A bit of type and illustration for packaging work with the team at Bold-Inc. Thanks to Pam and Jarrod for getting me onto this great brief!
3rd in the series so far, Feeling her a little more surreal this time.
Another series I'm working on just for kicks. These will be based on some classic songs.
Mixed media illo for the Little Red Riding Hood in the spirit of Roal Dahl.
A little more spec work. This was done when I was in college for a comp. It didn't go through but I still really liked the work so here it is!
A few illos for a trial rebrand for surfboard shaper Gunther Rohn.
Looking at Potts point for this addition to the series.
Playing around with Tria Letraset rendering markers.
Another play with markers.
First of a series featuring this faceless girl with an umbrella.
Another session of playing around with watercolours and Adobe Photoshop.
Maybe it's the red cloak and hood that plays so well in any image but I just love illustrating this story.
2nd time around. "Paris is always a good idea!"
A bit more of a graphic take on the topic.
Some quick personal work.
