This is my new eisel that my dad built for me! It is a formidable beast and holds just about anything I could hope to put on it. Sure beats sitting on the floor to paint.

James the Flute Player- Adelaide Project
This is James, a rather burly looking chap who I saw playing the flute in quite an accomplished manner and busking in Rundle Mall. He was gracious enough to let me take his picture and even lift his wrap around sunnies.
Oil on canvas 762mm x 1016mm

Chloe Kim- street portrait artist
This is a portrait of Korean backpacker and artist Chloe Kim. Adelaide is a place where people of all sorts of backgrounds and stories end up- it's nice that way. It's nice that art helps us share our stories.
This is oil on canvas 915mm x 605mm. My first portrait in oil and I'm pretty chuffed so far, so there will hopefully be more to come.

The Adelaide Project
A sneak peak at something I'm working on called the Adelaide project, which will be a collection of original works in traditional media. These pieces are acrylic on board in a semi-stylised manner, trying to work in a little looser way- more like my life drawing style.

Golden Mane
This is the cover for the first in a series of fantasy novels by Sam Gilmour. Check him out on the facebook SJB Gilmour.
I did an original acrylic painting then gave it a substantial digital paint over to get the effect I wanted. Designed the font for this which was fun. This is the ipad version, but there are promo posters and flyers for print as well :)
Also werewolves are cool.

Dragon Training Revisited
A quick reworking of my last Dragon Training image following some of the suggestions made by my internet friends (when I was young we were too poor to afford real friends).
A big thanks to everyone who dropped a comment especially Jon who commented on my Crossing Paths piece and even made a video tutorial! (still blown away by that), but left me with the dilemma of redoing the whole thing ;-P. Thanks everybody and good luck in the new year!

Dragon training
Another D&D portfolio piece: learning to fly has inherent occupational hazards.
A quick piece trying to work with value and composition to get a bit more dynamic. Been really inspired by the work of Ralph Horsley lately.
Acrylic on board.

A reworking of the last image with some tweaking- hope it works a little stronger. Again feedback and comments are welcome :)

Crossing Paths
A portfolio piece along D&D lines- may still offer in some tweaks so critical feedback is welcome :)
Our heroes come across a wounded orc- old, hunted and injured, but a mighty warrior of his kind and not to be taken lightly.
Acrylic on board, 305 x 390 mm
