Once Were Trees, Now They're These
Three books I have drawings in all arrived like blim blom blaow! What a noisy mailman.
One's about hot rods, one's about robots and t'other is about an alcoholic space moron. That's pretty much all the bases covered!
Here's a picture from one of them, can you guess which book?
No you idiot, it's actually supposed to be a hot rod.
You can get Masters of Chicken Scratch vol 2 and check out a bunch of Dwayne Vance's rad stuff over here

Make Tanks Not War 2.0
I am really proud do be involved with this book and am very flattered Paul Tobin got drunk enough to ask me to do the cover. There's so much rad stuff in it, over 40 artists this time and some gobsmacking images reside within. If your gob is overly sensitive to smacks stay well away!
It's a revisiting on a piece I'd been meaning to have another crack at for ages and is kind of a sister image to this old fulla - another point of view from the Great Crustacean Invasion of 2028. This one represents the sentinel tanks that bravely defended our shoreline.
This is available as a signed limited edition print from my friends at Eyeball Kicks over here!

Dis/Connect
Although it doesn't really look like it I spent an arseload of time on this painting, probably more than any other one I can think of. It illustrates the moment an advanced prototype robot first disconnects from its diagnostic systems, briefly achieves sentience and then permanently seizes up. It seems that gaining access to lab records and learning the history of discarded prototypes, wasteful development processes and the stresses caused by crushing deadlines caused the guilt sectors of the emotion circuits to collapse and result in catastrophic failures across the entire OS.
Signed print available! Only signed by me unfortunately.

Mad bMX
After the apocalypse I'm gonna be rockin bikes 24/7 yo. In fact, I've been prepping for years! I have an 'arage full of half restored rusty-ass rides and the furious missus to prove it.Bikes are reliable, plentiful, hardy, fuel-free, all terrain, stealthy and easy to fix - no wonder we never see supercharged V8 muscle cars in post apocalyptic films or videogames, they make no sense at all!
So when CO2 emissions, oil wars, nuclear bombs and your uncle's farts finally kill off what remains of this flimsy oh-noez layer I'll see yous in the desert for some sweet wasteland wheelies.

Ghidoragh - Threat Level Ultra
What the heck... that's not a drawing, it's an embedded album. Very observant! It's like a drawing you can listen to with awful vocals instead of faulty perspective.
This is the band we formed about 20 years ago and recently resurrected. It's Brian, me and everyone's favourite Broadmore - Greg! Bri tickles the lil' gat, Greg rumbles the fat-gat and I rattle the traps. Everyone hollers, no one quits!
This was a long time in the making, mainly due to this ridiculous special edition we made. It's a homage to the great games of the Amiga, the computer that defined our collective videogaming youth. It's a flash box, manual, poster and the whole dang EP compressed to a nearly unlistenable 1.2mb on a goddamn 3.5" floppy disk!
BH did the layout and Greg and I did the artwork, bouncing it back and forth and painting over each other's stuff which was kinda cool. I'll do a post about that in a sec. You can get the EP in a proper resolution and format now for however much you wanna pay (yes yes, zero dollars, "the recession" and all that eh?) over here! Okay bye.

Ghidoragh - Threat Level Ultra Cover ArtsWhole!
Yo! Here's the cover art for EP that I was blabbing on about down there↓I done did it with that Broadmore guy that you like so much. Really stoked to have got the job, the band is totally blowing up and the drummer is a dreamboaticus maximus.
We knew we were gonna be doing something Psygnosis styled from the Amiga era but hadn't decided what type of game we were gonna be ripping off. There was so much rad box art back then, rich pickin's for burglin'!
When I was a young'n at primary school a kid told me about a movie he saw called Mad Max. He said it was about a guy who drove a truck with spikes on the tires and ran over heaps of dudes. I liked the sound of that! When I saw it and realised that kid was a big fat liar I was really disappointed but grew to love it anyway.
That image of a spiky-tired 18-wheeler stuck with me though and I wanted to paint it for this. Greg wanted to paint a cyber-knight on a motorbike and viola - here they is! You can see the evolution of the painting in Compress-o-Vison™ here, Greg and I bounced it back and forth a bit and then we stopped doing that and it was over.

Elysium - Things That Fly
The top two are smuggler's shuttles, there was a pre-existing physical set built that these designs had to fit around.
Next one down is a not-quite-final design of Carlyle's Veyron-inspired shuttle and a look at his pimp-esque chillin' chair. Was pretty cool that the Bugatti guys did a final pass on it.
After that is an early-ish sketch for the deportation shuttle and then the final design with a couple of paint options, was really pleased with how that came out.
There's some images of the Raven around that I did the exterior detailing and paint on but I'd feel like a dick posting them here cos the rad and iconic design I was painting over is by the very talented TyRuben Ellingson.
If I come across my droid and weapon stuff I'll post that stuff too. This was a rad film to work on, there were a lot of awesome briefs from Neill and heaps of amazing work generated by those ^^^ aforementioned a-holes, hopefully someday we'll get to show more of it.
Oh, here's a Fun Factoid™ - the registration/serial numbers on Kruger's RPG launcher, the smuggler's shuttles, deportation shuttle and Raven seen in the drawings and even in the final movie are the dates I painted 'em!
"That fact is neither fun nor oid. You are terrible."
Whoah! Chill dude!
