The Alley Outside

View from my balcony, an excuse to mess around with GIMP

Paper Tales

Photos from the sketchbook, pretty low output for 10 months of travel really.








Still working on these

Duong Quoc Gia Ba Vi

Trundled over to a mountain here the Vietnamese have styled "Ba Vi" a nice big green thing to mess about on. Borrowed housemates D40 and took a crack at "photography" here are some "photos" took a veritable buttload, here are some of that load.

Old Whatsits Come Older

Found some negatives from back in the day that never became photos for some reason. They're all scratched up now but I thought I might try and rescue them via the scanner but it seems to wash out the detail completely, justt ran with it.











I'd like to spend more time experiementing, scanner has a film scan feature thats half busted that could be worked around for some decent images. But I got no time.

Bed Sheets and Beards

Charon, the ferryman of Hades. The beard had a deal sealer of a moustache but it's various whisps and furs got up my nose so it had to go. Also missing in this photo is the accompanying 'seamans pole'

Slow Burn

It's been a while since I've put anything up, just scanned this thing in, it's a lot bigger than my usual mess, stitched together from a few scans so theres some lazy blurry seams over it. There it is though.

Some Things

Have had a few things lying around that I thought I'd put up, went to a friends mystically themed 21st as Don Quixote although nobody knew who he was except the taxi driver at the end who initially thought I was a witch. It probably didn't help that nobody knew what a barbers basin was either.



This is a poster thingy Michael and I made for a friends birthday yesterday arvo, he actually turned 23. Much to our chagrin.

Here's Michael and Fred making some surly looking executive decisions.

This is the cover for one of Dad's obscure Information Systems book, he borrowed an older drawing of mine and it sort of scares me because the text is perhaps even less accessible than the image.


Over and out.

Water

Sort of a warm up for something else I'm working on, the colours come out sort of lacklustre after being scanned, could be my monitor though.

Journal Hoedown

Scanned some bits from my gettin about journal. Click for largerer.

I Got Wheels!

Serious good times.

Algernon?

Needing to work on my colours I thought I'd take a crack at painting some flowers, this is what I managed this afternoon, I need more though these were the only ones I could find around the place.

WIP: Boiyd?

It started as a picture of a tawny frog mouth, its more...parroty now.

Insert Title Here

I think I could say this is finished, I want to work on other things now (click for bigger)

Something I was working on last year

I think it'll be a while yet before I decide to get intimate with it again.

Corrogated Rock Wall?

Saw an image in a little piece of ripped up card on my desk and try to bring i t out as an experiment, kinda worked.

Out There

Some pages from my current sketchbook, I've been trying out drawing things around me lately instead of just things from my head.







Over.

Blurry

I've been having fun with gauche and ink this year, took photos along with the guys below but they all turned up blurry as hell so here are the least 2 blurry previews.

Still life in progress, I think I'm going to call it "Warhammer Guy on a Beer Can"



This one's been brewing for a while, I still need to do the creek and fix up the background a bit, the trees are a bit crap. Should be able to provide better pictures when I get my scanner up and running again.

Ogrey Adventures in Macro Land

I started messing around with the macro settings on my parents camera and decided to try it out on the little ogre guys I used to paint. They're all covered in little hairs that I actually can't see the traditional way.












Click on this guy with the skulls here for crazy bigness.





I kinda miss working on em...little guys...
