I've got some prints exhibited, not sure exactly which were accepted, but mostly submitted my pictures with girls in them (Evelyn, Untitled, The Graeae, etc.). So go check it out and maybe pick yourself up some awesome cheap prints from over 80 artists/illustrators/photographers!

In other news, I just re-launched my website having rebuilt it with Indexhibit: [link]

If anyone out there needs cheap artwork for their bands demo / ep / etc. check out the 12x12 section on there.. I'm selling each of my 12cm x 12cm 'daily sketches' for $30AUD, so you'll have exclusive usage of it (ie. I won't sell it to anyone else, just will keep the rights for my promotional use). Trying it out as a possible project, instead of simply 'daily sketches' I will be using the project as a means of thinking about composition for the purpose of a cd cover. If it fails it fails, just a bit of fun!

As well as this I've got a few ideas in the pipeline for making a few extra dollars selling things at reasonable prices... Raising funds for something... which I won't announce just yet in case it falls through

Forks Open Doors is the name of this beast, and is the amalgamation of Otilee and Brendan as an art direction / design / photography / illustration / photo-illustration fused-at-the-hip duo.

We are super excited to announce that our website has now gone live! Check it out at: [link]

Many exciting things to come, and we will be frequently fleshing out the site with new work, content, and ironing out a few kinks here and there.

-Landed a 4 week contract doing illustration + graphic design full time for the dept. of Sport and Recreation (government), which has been awesome - lots of fun, and the people there are super nice. Enjoying the challenge of doing some different work, hopefully I can share some if it when I'm done .

-Business is boiling away behind the scenes, going really positively - big announcement on that soon!

-Been doing a bunch of varied stuff, from kids book characters through to gross / nsfw stuff.. tshirt designs, logos etc.

Loving working 24/7.. Coming home from work to do freelance work, go to sleep, get up go to work, repeat. Feels strangely good!

Regretfully selling to raise funds for some projects.. More random books, dvds, etc. from my collection going up in the coming weeks.. some rare and sad to let go of.


Anyways, only 1 day left to bid! If anyone on here wins something let me know and I'll find a little something to throw in

PS. Pretty late to the game, but I finally saw Watchmen - and I thought it was pretty solid. Agree with what everyones been saying in terms of overly violent, and missing the point of the comic in not showing the violence in the Comedian's death etc. etc. But it's a directors interpretation, and I thought he pretty much nailed the characters. There were a many bits of painfully cringeworthy cheese, but overall I thought it was a good balance of representing the book and making a buck / catering to the masses.

One complaint I do have is the lack of talk of Veidts genetic modification experiments (ie. the tiger thing, which probably just seems like some random superhero fictional shite / cheapening the story, as opposed to relating to the books *giant squid*. I dunno, I still think the original ending was way more epic .

I can't get over how violent it was, but I feel it may not have been taken seriously without it. And I loved it . All this said, I don't know how many times I will sit through the movie again.

Theres a 3 page feature on me in there, and a feature on local fashion label Shesaidyoohoo shot by Otz [link]

Pretty awesome little magazine especially for a free one! Totally random and awesome selection of topics they cover each issue (food, travel, music, art, design, opinions, etc). These dudes are doing awesome things so keep an eye out for this issue and future RELATIVE initiatives!

LANEWAY FESTIVAL TOMORROW:

Hey Perth people - anyone heading to Laneway Festival tomorrow?
If so, keep an eye out for me: I will be doing a live painting or 2 throughout the arvo and night. Not sure where exactly, but apparently it's between the chillout area, a bar and a stage. Will be up on a projector anyhow! So come heckle me / say hi.. and perhaps try make me feel less nervous? . Also apparently there may be some of mine and Otz [link] works projected in the WA Museum! Also some bits and pieces in the VIP areas if you have VIP tix..


BIG DAY OUT:
Last weekend Otz [link] and I had a crazy opportunity. Backstage at the Big Day Out, we had prints of our work hanging up in 44 of the bands dressing rooms (Prodigy, Fantomas, Arctic Monkeys, etc. - all bar Neil Young) including some new work I haven't posted yet.. So stoked, it still hasn't sunk it that it actually went ahead!!

SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS LOS ANGELES:
Street Vendor [link] was selected for SI-LA's Illustration West 47, and will be exhibited in Gallery Nucleus LA in March.. if anyones going to the show please please PLEASE if you can take some pics for me I'll... find something to mail you.. or something?


Been sticking it out, trying not to fold and get a shitty job at a supermarket or something, with the total lack of work around at the moment thanks to this imminent recession.. may be doing some more study this year to hopefully 'future/recession proof' myself.. Hope everyone is dealing ok in these shitty times?

Literally the day after I handed in my thesis/we had our grad exhibition, and I joined a small film production team working on a short film project. We have an awesome crew, and if we pull this off.. it will be amazing (just for the fact we have zero budget and a 3 month total timeline (100% start to finish)!!)

Can't say too much about the story, because that would just ruin the fun of the end product . Very excited though! Deadline is Feb 14 for the finished product.. so will probably not be active on here until then

Stressful but crazy fun times!

Such a great feeling to have absolutely no plans. No idea what I'll be doing next year - considering any thing, any place.

I have a few fun projects under way/under wraps until I know 100%, but very excited!
Also cannot wait to start jamming. Starting bands very soon that are long overdue.

Ahhhhhhhhhh...

Believe it or not, I can't wait to get a job.



PS. Some turdburger stole my portfolio from the grad exhibition!

On a separate note, we both found out today we've been accepted to present at the Curtin Humanities postgrad conference on "engaging culture/engaging place" in Nov.. shitting myself . My paper is discussing the potential for cross-cultural communication through wordless comics .

Finished uni for the semester, drawing my butt off and experimenting with some new techniques. Started learning Z-Brush and planning a bunch of big mixed media projects which are gonna be epic and fun: Soon will be starting a rehash of an old deviation that will be a high res dual screen desktop.


Working on some different stuff too like sculpture and some other bits and pieces, can't friggin wait . Possibly keen to do some collaborations if anyones keen?


Next semester I will be working my hairy arse to the bone on a wordless graphic novel project for Honours/thesis, so I'll have to find some way to pay for cans of spaghetti and coffee so I don't die . Would anyone actually pay a small amount for prints or tshirts if I made stuff?

People in Perth: it's on at the Luna Outdoor in Leederville for the next week or so, and tickets are normal price (concession only $10!). Anyone else who has an opportunity to see it like this, DO IT!


Even better was I hadn't seen either of them yet. Planet Terror was one of the best movies I've seen in ages, and Death Proof was up there as well. I'm still buzzing from it.

Primarily will be using it for painting in photoshop and painter. Thinking about changing over to Mac, but I'm not too sure.

I was looking at a new Dell notebook they've released with 3gb ram and duocore etc. for $1800 AUD (about $1500 USD) which seems a pretty sweet deal. Plugging a monitor in at home is no problem either, with the apparent colour issues with dell laptops?




Any advice or recommendations would be very much appreciated! Cheers

Now preparing for last semester at uni it's gonna be the most reclusive time ever but I'm looking forward to it .


I never write blogs but I guess this is for my own record mainly.


On a different note, just started watching Dexter season 1 and it looks promising. Possibly the BEST intro sequence ever too




Lotsa deviations coming soon
