A Positive Result

Hi all,
Here's my contribution to a charity auction that my friend/colleague, Paul Braddock will run to support 'Cure Cancer Australia' Foundation. Paul is an amazing modeler and he can paint too :D Check out his blog - I'll ask him to post more of his cool design. Since his support will have something to do with Peru travel.. I thought a Llama family will be quite a fun thing to do. :)

I hope you enjoy :)

Hungry Plants

This is my art trade with the awesome Betsy Bauer :)

Goodbye and Welcome

Hi all,
now.. this is a quite personal piece for me.. It started with a topic from Sketchoholic..'Ghosts' (Daniela Strijleva interview's contest). I was going to create something comedic before but all of sudden memories of my granma came back to me. She passed away quite a while ago but I still remember how devastated i was that time. I tried to pour all my emotion into this one.. which resulted in a really depressing weekend. It was really exhausting both mentally and physically when I did this drawing - the sad music that I listened was making it worse too. I'm glad to be able to finish it - it's quite a relieve in the end. I miss both my granpa and granma.. I wish that they're both in peace and happy somewhere .. sniff..

I put some symbolism in this piece too. It's subtle.. so some of you might see it and some of you might not.. but it's okay, it's all up to your interpretation in the end :)

Sketchbook pages & New Artist Sketchbooks site

Hi all,
Sorry for the delay on the Croc story.. it is actually harder than I thought to flesh out the story properly. The middle part is always the hardest bits I guess. It'll be back soon though :)

For now, I hope you'll okay with some pages from my mini sketchbook - I draw these small faces on the bus on the way to work.
