Over the past few weeks I’ve been attending a community life drawing group at our local art college. I had a bit of a break from life drawing since last year so I’ve been feeling a little rusty with my figure drawing.

These are from this weeks’ session.

I decided to dust off my Flicker account and start uploading some of my photos. Hopefully this will prove to be good motivation to take more, as I usually have my camera with me most of the time.

This is a photo I took on one of the trips to Noosa, a storm was forming.

Also, I swaped Blogrush widget out with my Flicker Photostream, as I wasn’t receiving much traffic from Blogrush anyway (in the year or so I’ve had it). I think having a few pictures in the sidebar looks nicer anyway.  Next update will have art again.

I’ve had a few things come up so updates temporarily slowed down a little. These are little studies I do from photographs (mainly national geographic) for colour and painting practice. Each of these is about 25% of original size.

New personal work, Ancient Sewers - Journey 1.

This is the first of I series I want to work on, each one showing the brave explorers venture deeper and deeper into the ruins.

Another little update, latest EOW - woodland mouse house.

I had a few problems when I started, but I’m happy with the end result - especially how the house turned out. There won’t be any more EOW updates for a little bit, as a big CA wide challenge has started which I’ll be participating in (incorporating all the weekly activities !).

Enjoy! (I’ll still be updating with personal work)

Hello! Just another little update from the weekly environment activity .

I love space stuff, so I had lots of fun working on it. However it didn’t turn out like what I wanted initially, so I might have to revisit it again. Enjoy!

Few updates today, another new artwork and changes to the site!

This was an old wip I had lying around, that I finally had the chance to finish. Airplane design is lacking a bit because I need to do more vehicles.

You probably noticed that the site has become darker. I’ve been meaning to darken it up for a while now, and I’ve finally had the chance to do so! I’m hoping that you like the new design. Which brings me to another little feature: polls!

I’d love to hear your feedback Enjoy!
