24.01.2022 Hi friends. Occasionally when I’m between pieces, I flip through my archives and dust off a piece from many years ago. This one is next for a facelift. (Once I’ve wiped away the dust and cobwebs)With a new arsenal of colours and markers it’s really enjoyable. I will share this when it’s done.Swipe for a closer view. #revamp #facelift #redo #dustoff #fromthearchives #oldart #oldartwork #butterfly #butterflyart #butterflys #insects #insect #insectart #pencilart #pencilartist #natureart #natureartist #naturalworld #pencils #artforsale #emergingartist #homedecor #homemade #walldecor #wallart #galleryart #glowing #creativeart #followe #wings

23.01.2022 One from the Archives (‘09)My take on Weedy Seadragons, from my marine series.

22.01.2022 Friends finally finished. Images from a Brave New World. I wanted the statue to have a sense of emotion, as if it knew what has happened, to itself and the world. Resignation, or perhaps realisation. Either way this piece does feel relevant in a surreal way.Swipe for a couple of photos of me applying the finishing touches M. #newyorkcity #newyork #newyork_instagram #usatoday #usa #statueofliberty #liberty #statue #relic #memories #memorial #libertyisland #libertyisland #freedom #apocalypse #future #futureart #emergingartist #bravenewworld #quiet #ruins #pencilart #pencil #wallart #galleryart #society #intime #civilisation #endofdays

20.01.2022 The Sea Dragon. It’s a favourite from a few years ago. I’ve always loved the idea of mythical creatures, and that helped to make this a joy to finish. It also marks a large switch from Derwent Pencils to Faber Castell.

18.01.2022 Out of Africa, Serengeti Sunset-a brief retrospective. I can’t believe it’s been over 2 years since starting my Africa series. If I had to compile a list of my favourite pieces this would be there for sure. A Happy weekend my friends.

17.01.2022 Adaptation or Natural Selection. I have yet to decide on a title for this piece, and I’m exploring a few ideas here. What I do know is that this is really about survival in a rapidly warming world, and I used a lot of intense reds and carmines to convey this feeling of heat and energy. It’s also about what were once fragile things morphing to survive and this is evident throughout history. I think beauty will always prevail in some form. ... Happy Tuesday friends.

10.01.2022 King of the Hermit CrabsSome progress shots of my new piece. I have a special affinity with these creatures-not the King part just the hermit part I love taking something and then giving it what I call My Treatment, creatively breaking the rules, and going my own way. This is my ethos, and it is in every piece. This will be for all the creative hermits out there... Happy Easter dear friends.

08.01.2022 Butterfly Sails. I first shared this a couple of years ago, and my idea was to incorporate a man made structure with something completely organic. Imagination meets practical application. I hope you enjoy this piece again. Please swipe for some progress shots. Happy Thursday friends.

08.01.2022 Sydney Reclaimed. The Opera House through a jungle clearing. This piece is another in my series of nature reclaiming the Earth, and is also the third in my Sydney Opera House Series.

08.01.2022 My first post on Instagram way back in Sept 2017. It’s the Adelaide Festival Centre, a venue for all of the performing arts. I’ve always loved this place, and this piece fits in perfectly with my Images From a Brave New World Series that I’m working on now.

06.01.2022 This piece here I drew way back in early 2011, and is one of several environmental pieces I was doing at the time. I’ve always loved the idea of Mother Nature re-claiming the Earth-and its been the inspiration for nearly all my work since. This piece feels more prophetic now in 2020 than ever.
