XP Falcon

Check out this mad falcon, 1962 XP station wagon. Spotted it whilst walking to the post office. It had a whole bunch of plastic skulss on the dashboard which i tried to photograph very unsuccessfully.

Gorilla Stencil

One of my first stencil designs which was heaps of fun and turned out quite good. Pen & ink on paper

Essence of Rabbit


A few years ago I submitted a drawing of a rabbit for l'essence de lapin or the essence of rabbit. One of my first attempts at illustrator so i was pertty happy with the results, even though on the poster it wasn't one of the big ones.

salvaged cardboard Monkey


The monkey chasing the banana, the eternal struggle. This was done entirely from recycled material. A sheet of cardboard I found lying in the bin at the office became my canvas. After an afternoon drawing and colouring in, I then went at it lke a buzzard with a stanley knife to cut it out and piece it together. Unfortunalty it didn't survive the new office renovation and ended up in the bin.

Retro Gaming




Having recently moved into my new unit I found that had boxes and boxes of 'stuff' which I had collected over the years which needed sorting into some impression of order. After digging through boxes of old school books and random cables I was extremely happy to find my old gameboy. And not only that, it still worked! Even with the old batteries!

So the next few waking hours was spent re-establishing ties with the gameboy. The little white box became an extension of my hand, on the bus, at work whilst supposedly working. I was there punching buttons and relishing in the sounds of Mario land and Tetris. Not only that, but my eyes were marvelling at the bitmap style graphics in stunning black and green.




Next it’s on to the playstation 1...all I need to do is find it
