1. Mini outdoor pastels





I've been making a regular exercise of getting out and doing quick small pastel studies. Hopefully I can keep this going. The biggest challenge is often finding a spot to paint. There's a lot to think about - how's the light, the shadows, am I being too conspicuous, is there a shady spot to sit, etc. But it's also kind of fun driving around looking for inspiration. If you enjoyed looking at these, I'll be posting more regularly over at my facebook page, here.

2.



Two contrasting styles; the top painting is a large oil on canvas (24 X 18") painted recently and the lower piece is a digital double spread for 'Earth Has a Fever' by the Magic Wagon imprint of Abdo Books illustrating the importance of synchronicity in the timing of spring and the impacts of climate change.

4. imaginary landscape

imaginary australian landscape painting

A while back I had the idea to do a series of these imaginary landscapes. I hope I can find the time to do more of these soon. I can't decide which I like doing more, characters or environments.

5. Brisbane on stilts


Inspired by the city I live in, Brisbane. Colonies of flying foxes at dusk, and seemingly rickety Queenslanders on stilts. Growing up here these were pretty typical sights, though don't try and find where this is. This one's made up. More process pictures can be viewed on my Facebook page.

6. The Sweet Sharp Stylistic Art of Samurai Jack

When Samurai Jack burst onto the small screen in 2001, it introduced a boldly imaginative visual style to the often dreary realm of television animation. Other series have tried to imitate the flattened, angular graphics pioneered by the UPA studio during early ’50s. Samurai Jack succeeds in recapturing the essence of the UPA shorts because creator Genndy Tartakovsky and his artists understand that these highly stylized visuals require equally stylized movements.

The ongoing battle between heroic Jack and the evil shape-shifter Aku simultaneously evokes and spoofs the conventions of anime and Western live-action film. Long ago, Jack nearly destroyed Aku in a duel; in desperation, the wizard hurled the samurai far into the future, where Aku’s word is law. Jack fights robots, monsters, bounty hunters, etc. as he seeks to return to his own time, so he can prevent Aku’s rise to supremacy.

10. Landscapes



Inspired by some recents visits to a place called Marburg. My personal view of observation is that sometimes it's best used through the filter of memory. I think we somehow distill what was important to us in the subject when we recall it from past observation. When the subject is in front of us the details can be overwhelming.

11. Urban landscape studies II


It's refreshing to be using lots of colour, and these mini compositions really are a joy to play around with.

12. Urban landscape studies

These quick mini-studies were a lot of fun to paint. These two were my favourites. They are interpretations from memory of familiar places around my city. I was exploring colour, space (or depth), and composition. Size is about 5x6 inches. Next, the plan is to make a more polished piece from one of these.

13. update / more plein air

oh dear.. good thing I didn't make any promises! Between a bad cold and other commitments I missed getting my Illustration Friday entry finished on time (see previous post). I didn't want to rush it as I thought the painting had some potential, so in the meantime here's a quick plein air I did before breakfast.

19. Matthew Albanese

Matthew Albanese’s photos of dramatic landscapes are gorgeous, but they are not what they first seem to be. These are meticulously hand-made models. For example, the caption on this striking tornado photo reveals: “Tornado made of steel wool, cotton, ground parsley and moss.” This seems to me like matte painting taken to a new and strange (and pretty awesome) 3-dimensional space.
