I've been drawing a shitload lately, mainly with a regular biro which i'm loving. Some days it seems easier than others, kinda like anything i guess.
I'm pretty much just doing studies on people, showing different emotions and in different situations.
I've been playing around with biro on timber too but it's not coming together the same, seams like biro's really were made for paper after all.
This example is a mixed media piece, collage and biro on timber. It represents the craziness of life in colours and the peace of native life in biro.
Detail:
I have a bunch more that i'll post up once i take pictures of them.
Take care.

occupying myself
I haven't updated this blog in some time, not sure why but right now seemed like a good time.
I'm sitting next to an old woman at the airport who is complaining about her hip being haggard, poor old duck. I'm not looking forward to being old, i bet she has never even ridden a skateboard, and she's still buggered, i wonder what lies ahead for me?
Anyhow, i've been doing alot of creating lately. I was in a group show a couple of weeks ago thanks to my friend Kiel Tillman (www.kieltillman.com), the show was called Paper Beats Rock.
I had two watercolours in the show. One painting of a girl and one painting of my favourite piece of furniture; the Eames plastic rocker.
Here is a better picture of the girl, i'm kinda into her.
