  • Illustrated playing cards designs

    I still haven’t got the hang of this blogging thing have I? I’m sure I will one of these days! A few weeks ago there was a mega toy fair in my sleepy little town. I normally head to these in hopes of finding a rare doll or something nostalgic from childhood something I expect…

  • Starting life drawing again

    So I finally decided to head back to life drawing after a long break. It was a mistake not to keep going with drawing from when I left off. I have been practising hands but not the figure itself, going back last Thursday was a bit of a shock to me. I don’t feel like I’ve gotten…

  • Life Drawing

    Gosh I’m getting a bit lazy with the Life drawing updates! I’m trying to go every fortnight now, I find myself a bit exhausted with full time work if I go every week! I know it sounds strange but that’s how I feel at the moment. As per usual here are my drawings from the…

  • Artist Wanted

  • South Australian Living Artist Festival

    SALA festival is to celebrate living artist in Adelaide which happens every year. I do enjoy going to exhibitions on the weekend but I also enjoy the SALA festival for the wide variety of exhibitions held. I think going to exhibitions is a useful part of design. Design is part of art and vice versa. It’s…
