Just Imagine...

Here's a set of toons I submitted to Aussie Mad mag.  I've titled them 'Just Imagine...'  I've made several improvements in my style, caricature skills and digital colouring skills.  All it takes is practice, practice, practice.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hughesyyyyyyyy!

Here's a caricature of comedian Dave Hughes.

Evolution of a cartoon

Thought I'd give you a quick step-by-step process on how I do my toons for Aussie Ironman.  First, I start with a basic sketch, then trace it onto art paper, ink it with india ink and a nib or brush, scan it onto the computer and colour it in photoshop.  Parts of the process are here.  Hope you like...

Caricature of Mel Gibson

I went through some old sketches the other day and found this one.  It's one of my better ones.  Mel is hard to capture but this time I got it right.  Thanks for visiting...

Publicious

I went to a free workshop hosted by the Gold Coast City Council at Robina Library the other day.  It was a one hour info session hosted by Andy McDermott, author of "the Tiger Chase".  He gave us some very good information about publishing a book.  He was first published by a big publishing house in the USA, and later self-published his book worldwide.  He gave us some of the highs and lows of being published and shared with us the process he went through to bring the book to life. 

Because he experienced first-hand the pitfalls of being published by a big publisher, he's started his own business to help authors self-publish their work, and promote and sell them globally.  It's called Publicious, and you can contact them at http://www.publicious.com.au/ or e-mail them at andy@publicious.com.au, or phone Andy on 0402807440.  They also build and design websites for a fair price.  Check them out!

Comic Strip

I'm working on a comic strip idea for syndication.  It's based on the antics of the unique animals of Central and South America called "Black Jungle".  Here's a sneak peak:

New Ironman Issue

The February issue of Australian Ironman Magazine is on newsstands now.  I have an article titled "Just the Facts, Ironman!" in there and a toon as well.  This month's toon is one I'm particularly proud of as I paid more attention to the background and lighting.  Now go out and buy a copy!
