Places and Chases Exhibition

I have an exhibition with my friend Gary next week called Places and Chases. It is based on themes about exploration, mapping and my work in particular involves a Wild Goose Chase! It opens Friday 23rd at 5.30pm at The Framing Workshop. Hope to see you there!

Singapore - Animals

On a recent trip to Singapore I managed to get some time to visit the Singapore Zoo. I got the chance to pretend I was a wild life photographer for the day and managed to capture some great resource material for my illustration.

While studying these creatures from behind the lens I witnessed a rather hilarious attack by two sneaky red parrots (bandits) on one unsuspecting sloth. Poor sloth was just sleeping soundly and kept getting pecked on the head by these two mischief makers! Needless to say he got a bit sick and tired of the harassment and moved on - rather quickly for a sloth I say! 

This was my favourite character.. I think Ill call him 'Neville the Ring-tailed Lemur'. 

Im afraid I cant recall the name of this wee animal (any one know?) - kind of a pygmy deer of some kind? Less than 30cm high he quietly and politely cross the path in front of us and had the thinest legs I've ever seen! 

I have more of these photos on my website and news post, including pictures of orangutan and white tigers. So many beautiful creatures - very inspiring!

Too Long to Tell

Oh my poor forgotten blog.. I am so sorry for neglecting you for so long! Lots has happened obviously... Murals, Giants and a Trip to Singapore - the most recent. Most of that you can find here on my website blog. So I shall just start here again with the latest news... I am part of this up and coming exhibition based on folk tales and dreams. Its called 40 Winks and opens next Friday the 6th July at Draw Inc gallery, Alexander St, Hamilton. Lots of great local illustrators are involved so it should be such great fun!  I have made a series of giclee prints based on an Inuit folk tale about a Hunter and a Polar Bear - with many legs!

Said Too Much

Had a great opportunity to illustrate the cover of a new single by Chris Cope called 'Said Too Much'.

I Made You A Mixed Tape

I have some work in this exhibition. See here for opening night pics.

Heads

Sorry for the long radio silence. I have been away on work/holiday and shifted house over the past few months. I now have a stack of cool memories and a suitcase full of clothes while we wait for our new little house to be built. In the meantime work continues ... i have finished another album inlay for Bannerman called Dearly Departed and Im currently working on more illustrations for Holly Brown Cafe in Hong kong.

Above is one of several birthday card illustrations I made earlier this year for a company called The Script House. Will post more soon.
