Thursday, September 16, 2010


This is a primary sketch for a t-shirt design incorporating one of the skull drawings done earlier this year. I am planning on screen printing some t-shirts in the coming weeks and I'm starting to do some initial drawings already. This idea will surely develop over the next few weeks till I'm happy with it.

'Mae Hong Son, Thailand", Oil on Board, 2010.
Dark picture. I always have problems taking pictures as, no matter what type of light, the thick paint casts lots of little shadows all over the image.

Untitled, oil on board, 1995.
Another piece from an old art school slide, this time from the end of my first year. The idea was to take characters from popular culture and place them out of context in Wanganui settings.

'Gisleni's Grave, S.M. del Popola', pencil on paper, 2010.
Watching a movie the other night, I saw the carved 'memento mori' from Gisleni's grave in the Santa Maria del Popola church in Rome. I found a picture of it on the internet and drew this picture from that, I'm reasonably happy with this but it does need some work.

"Waitakere View', 1998.
I found some old and worn slides from art school and have had them put into digital form. The original photo's aren't the best but they give an idea of what my first landscapes were like.
