Grand Final Cover 2012!

I was very grateful to be asked to supply another cover for Rugby League Week magazine.
This time for the grand final face off between the Melbourne Storm and the Canterbury Bulldogs.
Due to the turn quick turnaround of the project, I was also fortunate because the editor had the foresight to prepare me well ahead of time, for the 4 possible teams combinations depending on the final draw.

Here's the final approved cover without the masthead.

Apologies to Manly and South Sydney fans... maybe next year!

Published final cover!

Joe Kubert 1926-2012

I was saddened to hear that legendary comic creator Joe Kubert passed on August 12. Younger comic creators that don't know his work should really seek it out, he was a master of his craft.

I sadly, only really began to appreciate his work in the past 10 years or so. His work is brilliant, exciting and full of heart... exactly what I believe great comics should be.

I count myself very fortunate, as I was lucky enough to chat with him briefly at Supanova 2010 in Sydney. He was a gentleman, insightful and very generous with this old fanboy.

Supanova 2010... thanks to Tim McEwen for introducing me to Mr Kubert.

Sharehouse Survival feature story

Too skinny

Article about a man desperate to put on weight...

Art Gallery of NSW Character design course

I felt very privileged to be asked to teach again at the Art Gallery of NSW. I teach a basic character design workshop for teenagers, showing them how to use reference for better comics and manga.
