Tuna Fisherman
An editorial piece accompanying a story on the dangers of being a tuna fisherman and in particular their war with sharks.
Dinosaur
An illustration for the cover of a book on dinosaurs done some time ago. I wanted to do it digitally but the client was reluctant at the time, so out came the airbrush and pencils.
Sea Captain
Using my father as a model. He has been a sailor since his youth in Holland and taught my brother, sister and I how to sail, a love we still have to this day despite the expense. Of course it helps to have Sydney Harbour as your playground.
Crocodile Communications
Some years ago there was a company called Crocodile Communications. I did quite a lot of work for these guys, which I enjoyed. I did this crocodile for them.
Torture of the cross
This one gets a varied reaction depending on the viewer. An exploration in a symbolic nature of the cruxifiction. Looks like a heavy metal poster so it finished up being a little jarring because of that.
Coke Caltex promotion POS
Another one of those 50's style illustrations again. This time for a marketing promotion for Caltex and Coke that appeared in the gas stations around Australia. A gouache illustration and I think the last traditionally executed work I ever did in gouache.
The Juggler
This is an older illustration that I have had hanging around and it is of a corporate nature, I just can't remember the client or the brief. A generic concept that has been done to death. I can't remember how long ago I did it, but the glasses might be a clue.
