Upcoming Shows

Thought I'd just do a blog post with some preview images for the shows I'm involved with.
It's been a really, really busy month since I last updated.
 Finished/ touched up more pieces for the Nucleus show, a few pieces for my solo, around 10 new sketchbook pages, a t-shirt design and my first book cover job (in oils). Very excited and honoured to be exhibiting with some truly amazing artists who have been a huge inspirational force in my development. 


Thanks!

Collection of Selected Artwork from my sketchbook.

And here's the book cover I did, Oils (with small digital touch ups). It was for a lovecraftian themed horror novel set in the 1950's. Despite the workload I just couldn't say no to painting a Hastur possessed blues guitarist channelling filthy black insanity!

Merry Christmas! + a new Sketchbook update

Hey all!

Thanks to everyone who supported this blog this year, you are all awesome and I appreciate all the feedback that I've been getting. It's been a good year, but 2011 will be better. I definitely need to take it to a higher level, and I have 2 solo shows and a group show coming up in March/April.
Hope you all have an awesome Christmas and New Year!

Anyway, just got an update of new work to share with you via Hi Fructose, big thanks once again to Ken Harman for helping me share the inner sanctum of my black book with everyone. Please click the link below to check it all out.
