Dr Who

here are a couple of quick Dr Who pics for the OzComics Facebook  weekly Draw off challenge.

Supa Nova 2011

I had a great time and caught up with some illustrator friends at SupaNova this year.
above from the left is Marcelo Baez, Doug Holgate and yours truly on the end.
Doug is always a friendly guy and has a wicked sense of humour its always a pleasure to chat with him. I hope all the people that came by his table unloaded their wallets and bought up his great books and prints. If you missed out swing by his web site: The house of Skullduggery to purchase some of his wonderful prints.

monkey King

Here is a quick digital sketch I colored while I was just playing around with the idea of a monkey king illustration.

little Blue Dragon

just playing around with a Dragon character

more Thor

here is another Thor cartoon. I just couldn't help myself.

I thought it was funny and hope you do too.

this was an all digital creation using a wacom and photoshop.

Quick character sketches

just thought I would throw a few character sketches together and add a splash of color.

Odins Blood its Thor

a little explanation about this illustration.
A good friend of mine and a great illustrator Marcelo Baez felt the need to be restrained from buying up all the books he wanted on amazon, especially the Thor Omnibus by Stan Lee and jack Kirby. So I felt the need to illustrate his problem this way.

My latest Book available from Blake Publishing

Here are some images of page illustrations from my latest children's chapter book for Blake Publishing.

The book is in the Gigglers Blue 2 series and is titled Batty and it was written by Chris Bell.

all the illustration are in colour and it was a real fun book to work on, I was sorry to finish as I was having a ball.

If you want to see more of the interior pages or purchase this great story you can go to Blake Publishing.

Big Lou

      "don't make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry"

At the Sydney Supa Nova I was lucky enough to meet and get an autograph and photo with Lou Ferrigno aka The Incredible Hulk from the late 70's TV series.

From a very young age I have followed Lou's career in bodybuilding magazines to spots in television shows and feature films and I was almost overwhelmed at meeting him in person. It was a definite fulfilment of a childhood fantasy to meet the man who would crash through walls on my TV set as the Hulk when I was a kid. and what a nice guy he was, so easy going and polite and always smiling for the fans. what a great experience it was to meet Big Lou Ferrigno I am still smiling like a little kid.

so I thought I should share my happy moment with you all.

Robin the Boy Wonder

After doing the Batman illustration I felt the need to do Robin. so here is Robin the Boy Wonder in full flight. this turned out pretty much how I had hoped and the Bat Signal was a suggestion from my very arty youngest son Talin.
