Me n the talented Jenna Downing hit the Dinosaurs Alive show at the WA Museum yesterday to draw some of the exhibits. Twas pretty cool, and I owe Jenna one for the idea bcos I would never hav even known about it otherwise. These are some of my sketches, and you can check out Jennas on her blog too.

Oh yeah and the pressure of drawing while a hordes of children crowd around you and their mums say stuff like “See Josh? This boy is an artist. My son wants to be an artist when he grows up.” is priceless lol.

The dinosaurs below are the Stegosaurus, Velociraptor and the Iguanadon. If you want to check out this show, it is running at the WA Museum in the city till March 7th. This is what it looks like http://www.dinosaursalive.tv/.

Subtle or obvious? Is that what they really look like? I put it on a tee too. Check it out here..

Check out this timelapse of the Guerilla exhib, on the weekend done by Jeremy Hall.

Guerilla Laneway Exhibition, Perth, 13th Dec 2009. from Jeremy Hall on Vimeo.

This is Rob. It comes with stick, hat and unique swivel motion!!

Guerilla Laneway Exhibition was up today in Murray Street Mall, in the lane beside Jay-Jay’s.  Great bunch of stuff on display, not to mention great pizza and great ppl. Imagine if it wasn’t 39 in the shade today, it would have been even crazier.  I’m looking forward to viewing the time-lapse of the event the organisers were recording.

Also I was quite surprised to see my AGDA AO Poster up on display from Semi-Permanent. Good times. Here are some pics.

Kat is a real person.  She looks more or less like this, but in real life she is more ranga. She would make an awesome comic character.

These 3 r my favourite sketches I did at this show.  The model for this one was Adora Derriere.  Met some great ppl, and it was a super show.  I probably wont make the next one on the 3rd of Jan but I will be at the next one after that. deffffo

This is my first foray into the world of 3d. Inspired by the wonderful work over at conceptships.blogspot.com. I did these in Google Sketchup, Rendered them in open source render software Kerkythea and then finished it up in photoshop.

Trying my hand at the fancy script typography style that seems to be so popular at the moment.

Stop Motion Animation – Poker Chips

A stop motion I did using poker chips.

Music is “Lazy Bovine” by me.

Total time taken was about 6 – 9 hrs (if you include editing, camera battery going flat, waiting for it to recharge etc.)

Total number of shots = 1081

I did this poster for Kylies 21st.  Just sat down and hammered it out the night before in a couple of hours. I got it printed the next day on A2 120gsm gloss artpaper. So last minute but in the end, very worth it!

…and a few pics of the unveiling. The @_@ look on my part is quite genuine.

At the recent Perth Film Network function at The Flying Scotsman, I was pretty pleased to see these two out and about. Its the Marcel Tee (featuring Sinclair aka Kym Bidstrup) and the Wade Tee featuring… wade.

Cheers to Naomi & Wade for your awesomeness.

Here are two tees commisioned by Wade himself. The first is “Sinclair”, a character from Marcel Trilogy (check out the trailers here and here). Second is a variation of my previous vector portrait of Mr. Savage.

Hit the links to check out the tees over at the store.  You can choose from heaps of different colours and about 4 different styles.

Found another endless resource of practice – the movie 300. .

This is pretty fun. I just trawled through the TripleJ gig galleries picking random photos to paint. Here are some of them.  The first is from an Ash Grunwald Gig, the second I cannot remember and the third is the Presets (pink suit jacket, easy).

The crazy lighting and and colours make these a great little exercise.  They are also ordered from my first attempt to the most recent. So I hope to see some improvements after a while! These take anywhere from 20 to 40 mins each on my Cintiq
