Tandem Reserve @ The Retreat - Event Poster
A quick little poster I made a while back when I first started DJing at my favourite beer garden in Melbourne. The Retreat is such a bloody treat.
Still in the Minor - EP Cover
Going well back now to an old house ep I made. Music leaves a lot to be desired in terms of mixing, but as always I still love the album art.
Made in Google Sketch Up of all things with the rhino drawing scanned and added in photoshop.
A Short Walk Home - EP Cover
My janky glitch stuff at some of its finest. I love this style, makes me happy. It was on my mind to create a deep house EP with rap vocals for ages, so glad I managed to do it.
Wander - Digital Illustration
Journey on mate, journey on. Playing around with some colours and a sky texture.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - I gave my baby away
Got some ramblings today about letting go of a project. When is your ego fuelling a project, and when is it hindering it?
Gabriel Gilmour - Mantra: Single Cover Design
An old design I did back in the day for Gabriel Gilmour’s release, Mantra. Some simple digital drawing, but I still dig this one to this day.
By your grace - Digital Illustration
Carapace Guard. Lil’ dude, bug watcher/guard. More inked style experiments.
Kelsey Jean & the Bad Health - Poster Design
One of my favourite designs I’ve done for Kelsey’s band! White and red have become quite a theme for us. Maybe it’s just my love for the White Stripes style.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - NATOarts - Art is War
What does an experimental electronic record from the 90’s have to do with NATO? And what does it have in common with a group of Russian artists painting landscapes in disputed Japanese territory?
I’ve gone down a bit of a rabbit hole today about propaganda, world-building in music, and the role art plays in politics. Enjoy.

One too many - Poem
It hurts to be the one too many
But it wasn’t you, you were one of many
Rufous Whistler & Possum Pet Names Tour Poster - Poster Design
Tour poster for Rufous Whistler & Possum! I had a great time drawing all these Aussie botanicals and birds. Trying to go for a bit of an early gardening magazine vibe.
DJ Night @ Amber Gibbon - Design Look Back
Couple of designs I didn’t end up using for a DJ night I was part of in the Melbourne CBD. I dig the designs though, were fun to work on.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Do I have what it takes?
Do you need to have lofty dreams when making art? Do you need to hold on to the dreams you had when you were young? Do you have the capacity to market your music?
Just questioning a few things in my head on this episode.
Blue - Book Cover Concept
Some more tests with digital ink in Affinity. Excited to continue doing some stuff like this. Keeping things simple and focusing on the grit and grime textures.
Orbits - Rhath Album Cover
I will say, it can be hard to listen back to older music of mine, mainly due to my own voice. But I love looking back at the artwork for old projects.
This one was a lot of fun. Learning how to 3d model (poorly) and figuring out how to recreate a zoomed in microscopic vibe to the image was challenging and super rewarding.
I don’t touch 3d much at the moment but I’m sure there will be more in the future.
Lockstep - Poem
You've spent so long fighting, you can't recognise someone lockstep beside you
You can only assume they're the shadow of your next adversary
Fend For. - Album Cover Concept
Trying to get back into using my drawing tablet as much as possible for a few projects, so thought I’d try this simple inked concept.
I love the colours on this one, and that font is wild.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Staying Creative When You're Down
Had a rubbish week last week, but was weirdly productive at the same time. Thought I'd talk about that. Trying to have the self awareness to know when a depressive episode will pass in due time.
Kelsey Jean & The Bad Health - Poster Design
Look back a poster design for Kelsey Jean & the Bad Health. Definitely going for a retro 70’s style with a lot of stuff for the Bad Health. Good chance to try some new ideas.
