New News

I've made a new online portfolio hosted by the good, clean folk at Carbonmade, which I'll be using to showcase all my professional work from now on. That means I can use this site for fun stuff instead!

(In case anyone is interested, Carbonmade offer free hosting for simple online portfolios suitable for any visual arts. I've found it really good so far and would recommend it. There is also an option to pay for more features like using your own URL, and customising some other features of the site. I am happy with the free site for now!)

So, from now on I'll probably still keep posting any new professional stuff on here just to share it, but I'll try to upload some more sketchy stuff I do for my own amusement/arousal.

In other James-related news, it looks like I'll be having a little art show around the middle of the year. Details are a little hazy but I need to produce some new work before then and I'm trying to settle on a theme to tie the 5-6 pieces together. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Just for fun, here is a little flyer I spammed Melbourne with a few months ago, which actually led to me getting this little show:

Here be Dragons

New design for Vault Skateboards.

Just for fun

Correctly identify the film reference and win a FREE beating!

What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?

This is a new design for Vault Skate - not approved by the client yet though. Rar!

New Vault boards available!

Two of my designs have just been printed and will soon be available from Skateboard Express.

Remember the Stabbath day, to keep it holey

Only my second post this month! 

This is a new art for a Vault classic, the 42" Drop Carve longboard. The client felt the deck needed a bit of a facelift despite being a really popular board. 

I was inspired by the crazy cultists and their weapons in Mike Mignola's BPRD, and especially Guy Davis' designs. I deliberately didn't go back and look at their work when I had this idea though, as I didn't want their styles to influence this piece, I just wanted the ideas I guess. 

Werewolf update

Here is the finished image of the werewolf I mentioned in my previous post. Haven't had confirmation on whether the client is happy yet, but I sure am. 

I originally tried to colour the drawing using watercolours but failed miserably - I guess I am a bit out of practice. This is coloured using the computer.
