Big day of drawing today. 14 hours, yep thats right 14 hours. Been a while sense I’ve had the time to a big drawing day like this. Hopefully tomorrow I can do at least a nice 10 hours. Did this(the above picture) right at the end of that epic drawing session. Its of a very special girl I know, thats flying in on an air-o-plane on Wednesday! Can’t show anymore stuff from today just get, but I should post it in my next post (whenever that happens).

In other awesome news the colouring contest I entered(a couple of posts back), I end up being a shared winner (yes I’m entering colouring contests like a 5 year old), read about it here (http://www.the-plastic-age.com/?p=964). For my efforts I won a book, you can get a copy of Rhys McDonald’s book at his store (http://www.the-plastic-age.com/plasticStore.php).

Anyway I’m off to watch some Battlestar Galactica .

And in Wallpaper size

One of my friends whats to make beef curtains for his van, its a good visual joke. Anyhow I turned the Meat that will be printed on the fabric into a wallpaper for your desktop. Its kinda a little gross, but not gross enough either for anyone to use, still it was hella fun to make.

Found this contest on pulpfaction tonight when i was killing sometime so I thought I get on it and colour up the image, I’m pretty happy with it came together well, it was really nice to have free reign over the colouring and not worry about budgets. The art work and holder of the contest was Rhys Macdonald at the The Plastic Age head over there and check out his webcomic and other doodles! The contest is being held to promote Rhys Macdonald new pinup book “Last call for Sin”, you can likely buy it from his website!

A couple of older pieces, I did these last year for a band, so I saw one of the members around, remembered the artwork and decided to post it. Pretty good story ay?

I’m working on a whole bunch of stuff, for a whole bunch of things, but in the end, waiting on writers mostly on that end. Also colouring a book written by Scott Thompson and draw by Kyle Morton and put together by Frozen Beach Studios, which is eating allot of my time. But I’m hope to get some drawing done this weekend.

Also bought a new car, for my upcoming uber cool east coast based road trip(of Australia) that’ll happen sometime in July!

Peace Out peoples!

I’ve decided to make my very own comic anthology of short stories. I would like to draw, colour, and letter a whole bunch of stories in different genres and different styles, but in order to do this I need writers! I’m proposing short stories that are approximately 4 – 10 pages in length, which will eventually be published in a really nice colour square-bound book. I’ve already done stories with some of you and I might like to use some of them in this anthology, but we’ll work that out later. Basically I’m sending out this email to all the wonderful writers I know in order to find out who would be interested in writing me some short stories for this project.

You can check out some of my most recent work at the links below, but honestly I’m keen about trying my hand at any kind of story ideas. As you’ll see in the links I’ve been doing everything from drawing demonic poems to indie romance comics, so anything you guys feel like sending my way I’ll be interested!

It may sound like a big project to undertake, but I’m really excited about it and hope that you’d all like to get involved if possible!

Here’s a little piece of test art for a gig that I tried out for, and guess what I got the gig! There’s still some stuff to be sorted out but, good news all round. Also this week I’ve started a new short story with James Andre that will be published in either Yuck 2 or 3, not available online yet, I’ll be sure to let everyone know when James gets his act together and gets a website to sell his mini comic. Anyhow here’s a preview for that to!

Well about a million years ago when I was in highschool, I made my first comic for a graphics class. I used a lotta photos and stuff way before I discovered google photo, so I had take all my own photos and stuff. Its missing a page, but I think I know where I can find the hardcopy of it. Anyhow its based on a Short Story of S. Andrew Swann of the same name.

Well I made up a flash banner for the site, and build out the design section again. You can pop over there and have a look.  Could write more, but I’m not going to….!

AS you can see, I’ve just finished (for the moment atleast) a site redesign. In other news I may have land a pretty cool gig…. more soon on that hopefully!This image may have something to do with one of the projects that I maybe or may not be working on….. Also I laid out and lettered 7 pages of “What you Still Want” today! yah!

Hi there! Two posts in two days, a freak accident I assure you, anyhow, I thought I’d post the to contenders for my new (and first) business card. I wanna get them to the printer before weeks end. If anyone who reads this has a preference for one, comment!
