The Dude

Just a small post...this is a painting of my cat chester..he is a little ranga three legged legend!!The first one is a sketch i did from a pic i took on my phone.The next one is the outline with a few changes(added a banner and another rose and a shitload of leaves)and the last is the final product...i did this while my wife and brooke were getting pissed which was pretty amusing..laura did a great chester drawing too which i will post soon:)thanks for looking..

whats the worst that could happen?

Got a couple of new paintings done over the last week or two...been having a lot of fun painting lately slowly grasping different things(even though i still have so much to learn..)these two are some of the cleanest paintings ive done as far as keeping the rest of the page crisp..normally i leave shitty finger prints everywhere..

i love panther heads and have only done one in the past and it wasn't as good as i would've liked.. this one took a few sketches and some kind criticism..i used some sailor jerry flash for little bits of it but obviously changed it a lot..

This one was inspired by "o brother where art thou" and george cloony's character..he wears this sick hat in the movie which i looked into getting and its called a gatsby. so i was thinking what i could do and this sort of dude popped into my head..he sorta looks like he has aids but hey u win some u lose some.

This is a lightbox I got made for my birthday from my good friend Stewy. I'm super stoked cause I was using a pretty dodgy home job box. Stu has been extremely helpful throughout my tattooing dream/painting days (as has my wife). I'm very thankful and stoked.

Hopefully have some more pics to put up in the next few days..Thanks for having a look!

this will be the death of us

Soooo its been a while..got some new paintings trying to take it back a little bit as far as subjects of my paintings of late.. sort of old school still with a touch of new.not necessarily what i was going for but what happened none the less..I think the colours i use have something to do with it looking newish..im probably the most happy with the butterfly on the 2nd sheet out of the both!

This is a random little one i busted out last nite after i finished work(nothing beats painting,music,smokes and cokeacola when everyone else is asleep!) i just googled 'monkeys' and this guy came up.. its definitely not accurate but i think it turned out ok..

This is me and my wifes collection of toys and what not we have been given/collected over the years..its one of those things if u dont have spare cash its hard to get cool shit u want so its just something here and there..

It was my birthday the other day and i got some awesome stuff..laura always gets me rad stuff like this new painting table which is awesome!also a bunch of awesome rebel 8/mike giant stuff which ive been following for years but never had anything of either.so stoked..have a look at their blog if u havent yet its awesome www.shop.rebel8.com

also got the new 'done with electricity' australian tattoo book,deep blue parkway crew neck and a shitload of art supplies!!my family are rad!!!

I dont know why its taken me so long to get this album cause i loved 'mutiny' but fuck this is awesome!!set your goals just mix everything i love punk/hc/melody and a sense of honesty that seems to be lacking in alot of shit lately!!and suprisingly one of the best guest spots on the album is hayley williams..oh and the cover artwork is bullshit good!

Thanks for having a look!
