This is a digital illustration mural I created in collaboration with graphic design (project art director) Barry Shackleton of No Hands Design and Claire Bell (Director) of Associated Advertising & Promotions. The Darwin Port Corporation comissioned us to create a mural 6m wide by 3m high to be printed on to large ACM panels and bolted to a wall on the Stokes Hill Wharf in Darwin. This mural was unveiled on 16/02/12 to commemorate the 70 year anniversary of the 1942 bombings by the Japanese in World War II. This mural will be a permanent fixture and pays tribute to those who were affected and lost their lives.Digital Art, Drawing, Illustration2012 -

I was invited by King of Nothing Apparel to take part in their 2011 Summer Collection Launch exhibition, Tomorrow's Nostalgia.
I created 8 pieces which were acrylic on canvas. I wanted to try and experiment with different techniques and compositions.
I was fairly happy with the compositions but I still think a little more practice and experimentation is in order to really push them to the next level.Painting, Street Art, Visual Arts2012 -

I was invited by Monorex to take part in the Secret Wars competition in Sydney this year (2011). It was held at the Oxford Art Factory in front of about 300 people.
Secret Wars matches up different artists in one on one battles where each competitor has to "out-draw" his or her opponent. You have 90 minutes and a 2.8m x 2.8m canvas to draw what you like with only black makers and black paint.
Much like an MC battle you have to dis the other artist and at the end of the 90 mins a winner is decided by a panel of judges and the crowd vote. The winner then moves on to the next round held later this year and so on until they reach the final.
Unfortunately I did not win on the night but still had the time of my life!
