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. Watercolour on paper. 2010.
Just found my old bag of watercolours and most of them have dried up and had to be thrown out. I did this quick little sketch to get my head around the colour for my next oil piece in the school holidays.

'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.

'Mowhanau', 1998.
Mowhanau Beach is a fifteen minute drive north of Wanganui where two small rivers flow into the sea beside small cliffs. It was a place that featured often in my work during my last year of art school. This image is from an old slide.
