Tat Girl pin-up

30 April, 2009

Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds, Tat Girl pin-up. Didn't want to spend too long on this, so I borrowed some existing tattoo designs, mixed them up to match the movie version character, so her tattoos aren't accurate.

Vixen art in NZ Opera Magazine

New Zealand's March issue of Opera News Magazine has in included several pages of The Cunning Little Vixen. I was asked to write a short brief on the art production and design process for this project, and provide them with a few artwork and sketches.

Update

13 February, 2009

Quick update, quite busy at the moment with several projects nearing their deadlines, including The Cunning Little Vixen. One of my clients for this year went into recession so that project was put on hold, I'm looking into uploading the artwork I've already done for them. No other artwork to post either which is strange because I've done nothing by draw since the last update but can't post anything! :P

If your interested in hiring me to do some work for you, I will have time after March, right now there's alittle too much on my plate.

The Cunning Little Vixen poster

Except for the text information, I designed the entire poster, from text placement, layout, colors and of course the artwork :D More info coming when we hit March :)
