    Flow

      I’ve always enjoyed drawing. I’ll always maintain I’ve never had an inherent talent for it; I’ve just drawn a lot, and improved as a result. This page attempts… Read More »Flow

        Slow no

          Everything is happening too slowly. I should have had at least 300 pages drafted by now. Every morning I wake up and think of the… Read More »Slow no

          Organic story

            I’ve been reading through Critical Inquiry: Comics and Media, edited by Hillary Chute and Patrick Jagoda, recommended by my friend and trusted supervisor Andi Spark.… Read More »Organic story

            Contrast

              I love strong contrast of black and white. I can remember falling in love with Frank Miller’s gritty noir crime series Sin City for the way… Read More »Contrast

              HR says no

                Received my reply from Henry Rollins, stating he doesn’t want me to use his words in my work.   Bummer. The thing is, I don’t… Read More »HR says no

                Prezi

                  On Thursday 5th I gave a presentation about my Doctoral Research thus far in the Film School Research Seminar, followed by Trish FitzSimons and Angus Veitch’s intriguing… Read More »Prezi

                    I’ve made an effort to keep each character as distinct as possible in their likeness, to varying degrees of success. This character is Alphonse (the… Read More »Stay on model

                    Style

                      Style is a hard thing to pin down. When we refer to a visual style, what exactly is it anyway? When asked about his style… Read More »Style

                      Music

                        Here’s a sequence from the GN where I’ve decided to use a song to lend a bit of continuity and to try to convey the… Read More »Music

                        Fully sick

                          Getting sick- a stomach bug, to be precise. Ain’t nobody got time for that. 

                          Kim Farrant

                            What a week. On Wednesday the 20th I had the great pleasure of accidentally stumbling into a guest lecture by  Kim Farrant, the Director of… Read More »Kim Farrant

                            Moments

                              Following on from the last post in which we jump across time and space, here is a short wordless (for the moment) scene that requires… Read More »Moments

                              Montage

                                Time is a slippery thing. In comics we, the creator, have the option to present time in any number of ways. We can use ellipses… Read More »Montage

                                In the family

                                  This scene is set within a typical working class Australian birthday celebration setting. Packs of Longbeach (or Lung Bleach as they are affectionately known) and… Read More »In the family

                                  Limitations

                                    Here I wanted to show Ronja pausing mid-stride, stopped by a sudden decision to confide in Clint. As an author, I’ve given myself quite a few limitations.… Read More »Limitations

                                    Treez

                                      Say what you will about digital drawing but custom brushes are great. I drew this tree silhouette in about two minutes using a custom brush.… Read More »Treez
