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.
Bloody Rust on the Boards - Poem
See I met my mark, left bloody rust on the boards, spat my lines.
An ode to collaboration.
You’re Losing Me - 50fifty Single Cover
Had a ripper of a time putting this one together. Pretty simple piece, but a lot of fun to make it physically. I melted some candles over a bust and edited it all together.
Took some inspiration from the game Blasphemous for it.
Cattle in the Rusted Thorns - Poem
Cattle in the rusted thorns
Red blood and white milk
Broken horns
Electric Troubadour - Maxwell Brady Album Cover
It was so much fun working in a new style! I had done a lot of digital manipulation but not full blown digital collage like this. It was fun doing cut-out fx for the clouds and figuring out how to bring it all together.
So honoured getting to make this for Max.
Liminal - Album cover and book design
Extremely proud of this cover for my last album, Liminal. Simple (and poorly done) clay model I made, photographed and edited into a stock background I found. Matching the lighting and using the gradient to blend everything together was extremely fun.
And then I got to smash the model and turn that into art for the supporting EP and book! That was a heart breaking moment.
Echo - Poem
I believe our greatest trait is adaptability to strange times
This world is now so far removed from stone, water and fire
Yet we flourish, thrive and achieve the impossible and again
