I've uploaded a small promotional video to YouTube for the new book "The Body And The Self". [link]

peace and love.

Also just a little heads up, I'm looking into publishing a new book of work in the near future. My last book was published back in 2005 so I'm feeling it's time to put something much more fresh and exciting out. Something bigger and much more revealing.

Thanks also if you recently purchased prints from me, you've just paid for my 12 month subscription on DA. I appreciate the support very much.

peace and love.

I've already turned down some jobs this year but couldn't say no to these guys after listening to their tracks.
A little info, I'm working on a series for their upcoming album which is being produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Mudvayne, Muse, Godsmack). I'm not sure which works will become part of the series but I'll be sure to post that info when the time comes, probably around the album release.
Secondly, they have an upcoming tour planned with the Butterfly Effect, beginning in July. Check out their tour dates [link] and go catch a show if your in Aussie at the time.

Cheers

I'm giving away the original .PSD file of my piece Once Human 5 (seen here [link] ) for anyone to download and to recompose the original piece into whatever they see fit.

You can completely destroy the image and build it back up, or you may choose to add your own stylistic touches and elements to the work. In any case be as creative as you can!

------------
The original file is saved in .PSD format and as such you will need Adobe Photoshop or an alternative PSD compatible image editor.
This particular file doesn't contain too many layers, (most of my illustrations have 100+ layers) so the layers in this should be easy to navigate.

My only rule is that you don't try to pass the original piece off as your own either for commercial or non commercial purposes.
I'm providing this file in good faith and only expect this one rule to be respected.

Apart from that, you have free reign over the work, and are free to use your creation for any commercial work you may have in mind.

I would very much appreciate either an email, comment or message with a link to your design. I'd love to see others interpretations of the work.

I can be contacted either through my website [link]

or through MySpace at [link]

As well as RedBubble at [link]

and of course at DA [link]

I also provide Royalty Free textures which you can use in your work from [link]


OK that's all I need to say, get stuck into it!
Peace & Love

So since then the only textures I’ve been able to provide were on my Deviant Art page or through purchasing my texture collections CD [link]

Well I have good news, my collection of royalty free textures are now up on my website for everyone to use again. I still have them on my Deviant Art page and for people who don’t want to download them all, I still offer my textures CD from my website as well.

Enjoy.

For anyone interested in Photography, I have a new techniques and tutorial blog set up. The blog basically contains things such as Tips, Techniques, Tutorials, News, Articles, Videos, podcasts etc about art & photography that I’ve either found or written or anything that has helped me with my work that I’d like to pass on to others.

There's already a few pages of articles posted so be sure to check out the archives and it's constantly having new posts added. Articles so far have covered such topics as Infrared, Light Trails, Panoramic Planets, Canon G9 Review, Capturing Flowing Water, High Dynamic Range, Inspiration, Podcasts, and Video Tutorials.

Let me know what you think, and if there is anything you’d like me to cover in regards to my work or anything you’d like to see perhaps.

Enjoy!

My latest book, "Parable Visions - The Artistic Methods" is now available for purchase, [link] as is my Texture Collections CD. [link] 14 months of production is finally complete and I'm enjoying relaxing for the next few days. You can purchase the book as both traditional print and ebook formats and the Texture Collections are available as Compact Disc and Download formats. [link]
My next release will be my new Portfolio book, which has already been in production for the past 12 months and should be available at the end of 2007. [link]


Thanks for all the great emails and messages.
Enjoy the new book and Texture Collections CD!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also have an interview on Dark Arts World [link]
And you can now watch me create my artwork via my webcam at [link] or on the webcam section of my profile. My webcam page auto refreshes every few seconds and it says if I'm online or not. It's not very exciting to watch, as most of the time I'm just sitting in front of my computer screen, but if I'm painting or something, it's a cool way to watch my work being created.
Enjoy.
