LITG part 1- The End is the Beginning (2017)
LITG part 1- The End is the Beginning (2017)
Delivered as part of my final Doctor of Visual Art assessment, Life in the Gutter Part one: The End is the Beginning is a mix of one part Chasing Shadows, one part a hot and humid 24hour challenge of which we shall never speak again, and one part copic-marker experimentation. Self-published in 2017, this version is full of things that I both love, like, and dislike to varying degrees, with…

Site planning
Website planning on Procreate 5th July. Got into the zone, and well beyond it into de Bono parallel thinking.
Drawn on a budget 2018 iPad using Procreate which turned out to be a pretty useful alternative to the usual Moleskins. Being able to edit anything easily is handy but there’s something about using an ink pen on paper for this kind of thing. Something to do probably with only moving…

Tribute
In 2017, Squishface Studio put out a call for stories for the second issue of their Squishzine Brunstown comic, with the inner city-suburb of Brunswick (home of Squishface) as the unifying theme. The comic was made possible thanks to a grant from the Moreton City Council, crowdfunding on Pozible, the tireless efforts of Risograph printer Sam T. Emery (Tree Paper Comics) the organisation ofJess…

An Incredible Life (2013)
An Incredible Life (2013)
By 2013 I was growing a little more confident with ink washes. Although I was using them more often, I was still slow in building layers of wash, hampered by excessive restraint, and convinced with each new layer of ink stained water that I’d surely ruined the whole thing. As a result, An Incredible Life took more than two weeks to create. An ambitious birthday card for my mother, I tasked myself…

Burnout (2013)
In 2013 I enrolled in the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning’s correspondence course in inking, which led to me discovering traditional inking tools of dip pen and brush. Although I never finished the course, it got me started in using ink washes, a technique that forms the foundation of most of my finished comic work nowadays. As a practice exercise, I created Burnout, a seven-page side story…

Fault Lines (2008)
2007 saw me complete my undergraduate degree in animation, coinciding neatly with the global financial crisis. The GFC saw many Brisbane based animation studios either cutting back on staff dramatically or closing down entirely. In an environment where seasoned animators struggled to get work, I couldn’t even get an interview as an untested and wet behind the ears animator. Add to that the usual…

Communication Comic 3.0
Following on from what looks to be an unnecessarily inflated behind the scenes that no one asked for, and in the interests of wrapping this up asap, I’m doing a bit of a time compression now on how I went from digital scribbles, to paper scratchings, and back to digital, all using the first page of this comic.
01- digital draft complete. It’s all there, more or less, with enough looseness that I…

Aaron Sims- Masterclass and Demo
Aaron Sims- Masterclass and Demo
Aaron Sims has been an integral part of Hollywood’s creature and monster movies for decades, working behind the scenes to bring to life some of the most recognisable characters from digital and pre-digital films, with a sprawling IMDB list covering concept design, special effects, visual effects, makeup, director, producer, and even actor! I was fortunate enough to see him speak and demonstrate…

Communication Comic 2.0
I’ll start by making clear that this second draft was mostly a bit of an experiment, I had gotten hold of an iPad Pro and decided to try out my fantasy of digital drawing on the couch. The reality didn’t quite live up to the dream, and I have since gone back to digital drawing on my Cintiq 22HD. Working at this desktop display has a number of advantages, among them having my files always in the…

To refine or to move forward?
To refine or to move forward?
Meeting with my supervisor clarified my direction to completion of the doctorate. The graphic novel will round out to about 300 pages and will have Part One at the end of the title. Not what I planned, but what it has to be. More to come, but not feasible (or really required) within the scope of these studies. I’ll spend more time cleaning up what I have and making choices about the structure of…

Communication Comic 1.0
Some of you may know that my wife is a biologist (and quite a clever one, at that). She recently decided to try to rectify one of the shortfalls in conservation science, inter-group communication. Helping different groups to see one another’s point of view in the hopes of more people working together to create a better future for humankind and other such idealistic wishes. While I suspect that we…

Queen Sparkle finished illustration process
Queen Sparkle finished illustration process
Somehow, despite a series of blog entries outlining the design process of the Queen Sparkle commission (found here, here and here), I didn’t yet get around to posting the finished thing. So here it is. This was put together with the intention of creating a Risograph printing, which is kind of like a machine screen print, with different printing layers. I make these decisions for the sake of a…

Entwined- White Mamba!
White Mamba is one of the protagonists of Entwined: A Recurrent Romance (see HERE for a recap on what that is!). He is Alejandro Vargas, a Mexican street kid with an unnatural aptitude for technology. Alejandro tracked down Bette Rogers (Black Dove) on a whim when she first appeared in the 21st C and offered to upgrade her operation, in exchange for training in the costumed adventurer lifestyle.…

CG Futures 2018_Alex Alvarez
CG Futures (formerly known as Gnomon Live) is a weekend-long gathering of VFX, games and animation people ranging from industry legends, through to students. A huge assortment of talks and demos take place across the three days, with plenty of opportunities to mingle, catch a drink, and form connections in a small community rich with digital creative types. While I was there I took notes on the…
