Here are a few examples of the character I designed (Nikki) teaching girls how to shave for the first time. The bottom iscan is an example of how they appeared in Dolly Magazine over several issues.

Nikki's shaving tips
A while back I was commissioned by Goodone Graphic Design to illustrate some ads for BIC products that would run in teen girl magazines.

little tiger
Wowza! My poor blog has been quite neglected lately!
I am currently finishing a picture book with Working Title Press, and I just have to say that I'm really happy with how its turning out. Its been a really enjoyable project, and has given me some interesting challenges along the way. Should be out sometime next year.
For the past few months my work schedule has been hectic. While having a break, or waiting for inspiration to kick in, I have taken to drawing in journals for my own benefit. I haven't had a visual journal for myself for years, and am finding it extremely beneficial thus far. From little random sketches, squiggles and watercolour paintings, I have found that it opens doorways to untapped ideas and worlds.
Here is a little tiger I drew on one such occasion.

Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort
I recently reread the Harry Potter series for the first time, and found it just as enjoyable this time around. The amount of detail that is tied into this tale of good versus evil is amazing. From Quick-Quotes Quills, butter beer, Time-turners, house elves, to even the Pensieve, Rowling created a very realistic world for the us all to enjoy and disappear within.
Above is a photo of two portraits I created to put within these cute little frames.

2009 Book Week
Another Book Week has come and gone so fast! I visited a few schools this year, and we looked at ways to design characters for stories, learnt to draw Big Bad Bushranger, and sang Give Me a Home Among the Gumtrees opera style!
Here are some pictures done by students during the workshops.
