Shark Horse

Here's my entry for Bobby Chiu's ChiuStream Competiton: A shark inspired Creature. It's a Shark-Horse. We only had 1 hour to paint and I came in 15 mins late. A great experience. Love the ChiuStream.

StarTrek

Just watched the new StarTrek movie again. Still think it was pretty cool. Here's my take on the two main characters.

Moodle Man & Moodle Gal

Here's the CubeeCraft fold-up toy I designed for the MoodlePosium which was held at the University of Canberra. Click to download. Enjoy!

The Water Dragon

Decided to do another more 'serious' dragon. I also desided to draw every scale! I may not do that again:) Anyway. This one is a water dragon, hence the side frills and back spines.

Winter Term and the wandering pencil.

Must have sub-conciously been thinking about University of Canberra's new Winter Term while I was doodling. Out popped this little chap. That happens sometimes. In the midst of drawing "nothing" suddenly something solidifies and you have a clear idea of where the pencil is going.

Leave space for happy accidents. Often I'm deliberatly designing/illustrating/creating something. I'm trying to come up with a visual solution to a conceptual problem. It's a good reminder to just "be" creative. Let go and let pencil and brain wander where they will and you can be suprised where you end up.

Odosketch

Just found this excellent online sketching tool called Odosketch http://sketch.odopod.com/. I love it. So simple but works fantastically well. You even get a replay of your entire sketch. Cool.

Here's a link to the "live action reply" <http://sketch.odopod.com/sketches/110882/edit>

Super Buddies

What kid doesn't want to be a super hero right? Here's a quick poster I did for my boy's bedroom. Started as a small sketch and then blown-up in Photoshop and coloured.
