Carnival

I have decided to try and be more pro-active with my artwork. So here is my piece for the 9X5 exhibition, run every year, by Illustrators Australia. Carnival is the the theme, and nothing says carnival more than the age old masks of Tragedy and Comedy. They are the Yin and the Yang. The Red Nose Vs The White Face. An eternal struggle between order and chaos, for what is fun without the prospect of a little danger?

For some reason big noses are a common feature.

I think we all know why :P

Tip No: 473

Here is a good idea if you aren't very good at something. Do it as badly as possible. At least that way you'll be different enough to be interesting :D

Dill 'N' Da

I used to love getting these guys comics in my show bag each year :)

Moose and Squirrel Fight Stuff But Not Really Because That Would Be Expensive

This time for sure....presto! :P

Man Fights Bear Who Fights Hunger

It seems so me that I have done one too many of these. Hanna Barbarbarabahbah have an interesting unique style, and instead of just trying to do my version of these guys, got caught up and tried to make them representative. Which failed, because I kept trying not to. Odd.

Anyways: Opening Titles, Bear Steals Basket, Man Chases Bear, Bear Tricks Man, The End, Credits, Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Duck and Rabbit Fight Each Other, EXCLUSIVE PICS!

I was working and then started thinking how much I liked Duck and Mouse Fight The Aliens. So I drew this real quick. Maybe a better title is Duck and Rabbit Fight Physics? :P

Duck and Mouse Fight The Aliens

Do I really need to explain this to anyone? If so then I suggest you read this:

Not that I am saying a random warm up sketch, thrown up hastily onto a Google Blog is art, but hey that is the beauty of it.

It MIGHT be ;)
