Dragonslide
Hey guys,
This is a new piece I worked on over the weekend called "Dragonslide".
It is pencil on paper and measures roughly 20 x 29cm.
If you want to see it in the flesh it is currently hanging in Deluxe Cafe (next to the Embassy on Kent Terrace in Wellington City). There is a small joint exhibition there between myself, Andy Shaw, Tim Gibson and Guido Thum. Some pieces are originals, others are prints. They were hung yesterday and will be on display for two weeks.
This particular piece is not for sale at this stage. I plan to do a bit more work on the texture of the dragon and eventually hope to carry it through to a finish in oils.

White Cloud Worlds
Hey guys,
There is a fantastic new book nearing release which I have the great priviledge of being a part of.
White Cloud Worlds is due out next month and I got a look at some advance copies - it looks amazing!
It is an anthology of New Zealand fantasy and sci-fi art featuring many of my Weta colleagues and many others besides. Put together by Paul Tobin and Kate Jorgensen, it really is an honour to be included with such great company.
There will be a signing of advance copies at Armageddon in Auckland during Labour weekend, where Paul Tobin, Nick Keller, Gino Acevedo, Claire Hackett and maybe a few others will be signing a very limited number of copies. There will be further signings in Wellington, and a full-on exhibitions of originals and large scale prints at The Dowse starting in December. Details of all these events available on the WCW site.
It is already available for pre-order from all the usual outlets, and a signed, limited edition slipcase version along with an art print is avaiable on the Weta site.
HP Lovecraft
Hey guys,
Did a wee sketch on the weekend for an H P Lovecraft themed contest. It's rapidly getting as dark as the Wayne Barlowe inspired piece I did a few posts back. Had a lot of fun sketching this one up, but not quite satisfied with it to take it to finish yet. I think the Cthulu inspired dragon (yeah, it's a nightmare creature so I didn't worry too much about evolutionary biology for this one) needs to be turned towards us a bit so that we can see his form better than the perfect profile silhouette. I imagine the inside of that mouth lookin a little like the sandworms from Dune, so maybe I'll let us look up inside it a bit more... let me know what you think?
