MUM - Traps

Was just playing around with text and textures and what not. I think this turned out pretty nicely… nice depth to it.

MUM – Motocade

Seriously

This has got to be the strangest job I’ve had so far. Seriously, the NZ Embassy in China’s garden party invite? The fuck? Still it was quite fun to make that border and stuff…. I like that it’s got a sort of classic near kitschy feel, but not really. I do realise now I really should’ve put some stars in the Southern Cross formation. Oh well.

MUM – Brand New Math

Aww hell naw, what’s up dog indeed. I pretty much traced a photo for this poster. I kinda hate doing that, but whatever, it works, and it doesn’t look particularly traced, so I probably should’ve just kept my mouth shut and let you all think I’d suddenly mastered anatomy and perspective and drawing dogs.

MEGAUPDATE(KINDOF)

So, for whatever reason, I was super productive this weekend and got 3 posters started and finished. It was a good time. And they’re all totally different. I still struggle with that, as an artist… it seems like if you want to really get ahead you have to continually re-re-re-re-re-re-do the same thing, with minor variations.  Which makes sense I suppose. I dunno, I guess I haven’t found that thing I want to do repeatedly yet.  In the mean time, playing around and trying out whatever takes my fancy seems to be working out pretty well.

On with the show.

Handsome Furs

CHEER!

MUM – Coco Solid

I’m pretty stoked on that Coco Solid illustration. Tittays! That’s a first for my work I think… I don’t recall drawing boobs on anything else. Exciting stuff.

In other news, I found out I made the finalists for AS Colours ‘Little Help Project’ T-shirt Label contest. Grand prize winners are announced in a week or so. Fingers crossed. Check the link for more info about the whole dealio.

I’ve never entered any sort of design contests before, so it was awesome to be a finalist the first time I throw my hat in the ring. I’m thinking of submitting a portfolio for the Young Guns awards too.. although they’re kind of expensive to register with… but looking at past winners, couldn’t hurt to try…

Tough Choice #435

I'm considering turning off anonymous commenting. It's maddening not knowing exactly who thinks you're awesome. But on the other hand, would they write these things if they weren't anonymous? Probably not. Dammit.

presenting… My Worst Poster So Far

This was, out of necessity, a little rushed. boo. Figured I may as well post it here just so people can see that yes, I’m only human. No sense hiding these things.
