some recipe illustrations

hello,

did some food illustrations for diane bergeron(interior designer)'s blog.

the recipes featured are by kate olsson at finger,fork&knife.

(she's on facebook and wordpress. yum.)

 above and below: some scribbles from the hyfrydol e.p. launch last night. 
got my copy on cee dee, with the lovely screen-printed case. 
i'll post it up. it went from being inside a pen to being a drawing to being a photoshop file to being transferred 
onto a silkscreen and now it's on canvasy fabric in navy blue. oh, to be a hand-drawn font.

photoboothing my sketchbook in the library.

these are some rose-stem bottle things. they don't really have opinions about the world because they're tired all the time. 

or they shut it out with their closed eyes. 

or they have so many opinions that they keep eyes and mouth shut lest they should escape. 

or their opinions are leaking out of the cut stem and into the jar. (not the one pictured, though, because its jar is empty.

indicating, by the last theory, that its opinions have leaked and have nothing to show for it.)

un-plucked flower things are better at keeping their opinions in.

the sun is setting almost, and it's dipping through the between-desk dividers 

and making light-lines that look like the fluorescent lights on the ceiling. 

also, chewing bread makes horrible sounds. library is empty, though.

books are listening to me chew.

(all illustrations are pen and ink on white pages)

hello,

this month Issue 2 of Bark magazine is out. 

it is an online publication which can be accessed here: 

Bark Mag

it likes arty and musicy stuff.

it looks pretty nice in fullscreen, so i recommend that,

and it's also free. 

so you can just stroll on over with your 

tea/vodka/chocolatemilk/tiredness/awakeness 

and flip through some digital pages.

it won't say 'click to read' once you're reading it. 

i typo-ed 'lick to read.'

line legs

just editing some stuff, and was about to erase this person from a page, and thought i would relocate them instead. teleporting between windows.
-
heck, to give the first one company.

various depictions of nude.

fashion illustrate.

some commissioned illustrations for Maggie T

ink, fineliner and acrylic

Going Down Swinging!

hello!
a few posts back i said there would be news:

and have a few illustrations also frolicking on the inside!!

Going Down Swinging is a literary magazine
based in Australia,
publishing amazing creations for your eyes and ears and minds.
this is going to be the first DIGITAL EDITION,

(this friday)

the cover also comes with a little film,
where you can watch 20 minutes of drawing
and cutting and inking become about three and a half.
and also a whole lotta draft images of the cover.
i got draft-enthusiastic.

Also featuring in the next issue (#32):
there will be illustration by the lovely,
whimsical, folky conjurer of floating twigs
and wearer of grrreat jumpers,
Aaron Billings

might see you at the launch/
might pretend to see you by looking out through the video,
or you might see the edges of my fringe
and the sleeves of my top by looking into it
(ha, when you buy Going Down Swinging Issue #31).

EDIT: you can buy ISSUE #31 HERE!
for $5. and it looks damn fine on an iPad/iPhone.
which most people who aren't me seem to have these days.
