I'm Listening

Wow, its been so long since I've done a post here, where does the time go? I guess you could say i've been busy evolving! As an artist, when doors open to new places you walk though them, regardless of what is in the room and embrace it!

This one is called I'm Listening, for the new Red Bubble tee comp, which has the theme "Sound." The theme before was "London Calling" and I didn't promote it very well, you could say that is where the evolution began!



This one is called Call Me. Check out The Message too.
Here's to more evolution, don't be afraid to open the door.

I’m so excited, and have been sitting on this news for a few weeks now.
I was contacted by Australian Bookmarks and Bookplates about purchasing some of my designs! Today they arrived!!!!!!!!! and i’m so thrilled to share them with you.

They are available in all the major bookshops in Australia NOW (I have been told the reps have been placing them instore already) and on the Australian Bookmarks and Bookplates website in the next few weeks for those outside Australia. I will let you know.

I’m so pleased with them, and so happy to say, I have achieved another one of my goals!

Please let me know if you see them around, and take a pic if you can!! :) :) I hope you buy one :)

New things!

Vector

An interview of mine is going to be posted soon on an art blog (not giving too much away, but will keep you posted) and I had to supply a photo of "TBO at work" and this is what I did.

I had so much fun putting it all together that I decided to do a version for the header of this blog. Please refresh your browser if you cannot see it.

Hope you enjoy!

Lion Deck!

Hi Kids,
So I’ve been painting away yesterday and I’ve tracked my progress on how i go about it all.

Its no secret, I love lions!

Start with a pencil sketch, over an undercoat sprayed. These decks are stained in black, which is too deep to sand (with out sanding half the board away)

Place your flat colour

Start your “under strokes”.. my fav part, laying down your darks

More lights and details, stroke stroke stroke

A bit of a sand around the edges, and whiskers, more emphasis on the smaller details, etc etc… all done.

This was a little tricky with the paint as it didn’t absorb slightly like cardboard

Sushi Decks and Shoes!

Sushi Skateboard

The cool folk over at Zazzle, have released the option of printing on skateboards!

So naturally you need a deck to match your sushi shoes!! :)

Check the deck out here, but I have also set up a tbo decks only shop, so keep your eye out for additions to that too!!

My Work at Monsoon Launch

(L) "Burleigh Buddha" 406 x 1219mm
(R) "Affinity" 205 x 605mm
both Acrylic on Stretched Canvas

I took this photo at the lauch party on 08.080.08 of both my pieces for sale at Monsoon Homewares!
This is the sort of shop I really could back my car up to and load it up with one of each.

My little corner looks so gorgeous, PLUS with my favourite tea-set from the store :)

Thank you so much to Robyn and Bruce for your support!!
