Really enjoyed creating this one. I love working with black ink and pen to make a bold, contrasting image.

If you’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting a succubus in your dreams you will know that this is what they look like.

This is the last post in the Sketchbook series, well, actually the second last. I’ll be posting the whole book as some of the pages have changed and evolved since I last posted them. Fourteen 1996 – 2010. I’m guessing by now you know what this is about

More pages from the sketchbook. Here’s one of my favourite subjects to draw, the bicycle.

The Australia shaped coat hanger car aerial. You don’t see these in the city, more of a country thing I guess. Or maybe I just haven’t been looking that hard. This week’s challenge is to see one in the flesh.

Trace was camping in the Flinders Ranges not long ago. She woke one morning to find a bucket full of drowned mice.

I thought it would be appropriate to include an about page in the sketchbook. If on the off chance someone does pick it up I hope this gives them some insight and meaning behind the words and illustrations. But what are the chances? Out of the 5,000 books on display I doubt mine will ever be read, until I go and search it out myself of course

Another post from the Sketchbook

Well, I sent the book off this morning. Off to New York to live with the other 5,000 sketchbooks. I hope it makes the journey safely.

Words of sorrow and guilt from Tracey. I couldn’t think of anything to draw for this one and in any case I think the words speak for themselves.

Another bicycle drawing.

Some nice musings by Trace on driving through the Australian outback.

Evolution is a funny thing. This illustration didn’t start out looking anything like this. I like it when things take on a life of their own.

I’m collaborating with my wife Tracey on this project. She is writing the short pieces and I’m trying my best to illustrate. Not sure I’ve succeeded at this point but there’s more to come.

another page from the Sketchbook. Spelling mistakes abound, but hey, it’s all part of the process.

I’m participating in the Sketchbook Project by the Art House Co-op. It’s a cool initiative to get people to draw, paint, scrap or whatever in a sketchbook. It then goes into the library and on display in New York. Pretty cool. Check out the details on their site.
