Moonrise & Xpress

Xpress mag recently did a fashion shoot using my Moonrise mural as the background. Pretty stoked with the way they've used it.

Imagination Migration

A few sample pics from my latest mural installed in Karratha 2011. The size is approx 40m long x 4.5m high - definitely the biggest work I've done to date. Looking forward to going bigger now... I'll be getting a video together soon documenting the entire process of me painting over 8 days to get it done. It was a lot of fun and I hope the kids get as much enjoyment out of it as I had creating it.

More details and pics to follow soon...

Mural | Natural Playground

Sushi 13

I was asked to design a character for a Guess Who? style spread in the magazine Sushi 13, out of Offenbach, Germany. My brief was Human/4 limbs/Hair everywhere except on head. Here's what I came up with. Of course I had to give him a pipe and hat... It all adds to the flavour.
