Birds

My bird phase seems to be phasing into a second or third phase.

Sam Sparrow

My BF gave me this for our anniversary in Oct, at the peak of my bird obsession. Note the bird themed curtains and cushion.
God I love him, BF too, he's (sparrow) going to be great reference for my next work.

Pitch

Pitched for a job last week, I had to supply an illustration for a book coming out, a govt funded publication I think. Anyway, my poor brother had to model for me, I needed reference in a hurry...

I got the work!

I found him

I found a link to the artist I was talking about, with the amazing giant birds, the detail is epic, not to mention the scale.

His name's Hellovan, london guy. I love that its beautiful art for the sake of beautiful art.

Got a sweet job before Christmas doing some concept illustrations for a music festival.
These were some of the designs pitched for the staff costume.

New Work

From Ducks to Dobermans.
This is a pic I've been working on all week, pretty sure I know who its for.
I think my nest larger than life will be a sparrow.
I saw some amazing work by someone I don't recall, but I'm looking into it...
It was these massive outdoor billboards that an artist drew on site of birds in flight, so epic.
Also loving Andrew Zuckerman's photography at the moment, http://www.andrewzuckerman.com

One of a series of illustrated scamps I did at my last job for a retail re-fit.
