The first time I encountered a posca pen was when Digs (Sonia, being her real name) used one to write on her trendy circa-1994 tartan pencil case something about Kurt Cobain, I think during English class. They were also perfect for scribbling graffiti onto the bunsen burner station. For more than 20 years, I’d not given the posca…
Ahhh I took a trip to Jackson’s Art Supplies. It is the go-to for any art enthusiast in WA, although the real pros get their kit online in bulk. Not being a real pro, a lovely Russian girl with a Scandinavian/French accent (she told me few could accurately pick her accent) helped to procure some black paper,…
Some scribbles on post-it notes And just to mix it up with a bit of greyscale:
Ran into my friend Jarvo yesterday. Jarvo has an ironic beard. It’s ironic not because he’s a hipster who rides a fixie and drinks chai latte. It’s ironic specifically because he’s not. Jarvo is pretty much the real deal: A camping, fishing, hiking one-man war on screen time, a champion of outdoor play, tree climbing, pocket…
This is my attempt to capture two of the most talented people I know in the simplest of forms. Still not wrapped with Teischa’s hair (well, her hair is fine. It’s my ability to replicate it in the minimum number of lines the problem), so it’s kinda a work in progress. Also had a muck around…
Stayed up watching the seige last night.
Another weekend experiment. Learned to use the eye dropper tool. #lifechanging. Can’t believe I didn’t know how to use it before now
This is Spanna, who I promised to use as a muse. We spent a good bit of time doing grainy, hungover selfies during her revent trip to Perth. Haven’t quite figured out how to recreate the graffiti on the wall. Or sort the shading on her left arm. working on it. Take two: I…
I drew a lot as a kid, but was never really any good at it. Most of my scribbles were curves and tunnels in the border of my trigonometry papers. I much prefer drawing electronically. Draw one eye, copy it, flip it and BAM, you have two eyes, both the same size. Don’t get the colour…
Meran has been tough from the day I met her, some time during the mid 80s now. Meran motivates everyone around her and always has brilliant creative and innovative ideas. I don’t see her much any more as we live on opposite sides of the nation, but when she wrote “draw me” I just couldn’t resist.…
