I was asked to be the resident artist last year for a special Halloween event at a bar. Basically the bar does a collab with local beer Brewers and one local artist per year, to design a set of beers based on a Halloween theme. This year the theme was Vampires and I was lucky enough to be asked to do the artwork.
It was a huge crunch, 9 paintings in 10 weeks I think it took me. The prompt was vague and they didn't want existing vampire so I gave myself a list to create and started working.
Greatly successful night and super fun once it was all said and done.
Hem and Howl were my favourite of the vampire family for sure.
In August last year a Dark Souls group artshow event was held in my city. I was one of the lucky artists asked to be involved. It was such an amazing turnout, some incredible artists from Europe, US, India and Australia. I had this piece printed on a metal hanging print.
Paintings large and small covered the walls while patrons had dark souls games playing around the venue, had a dark synth dj, a firelink shrine photo booth and some really nice themed food and drinks. Definitely a highlight of my 2023.
Furby's were all the rage for a time. I had one it's was black and white spotted and called itself Snowball. It would make noises in the night sometimes and when the batteries started to die it would make a really loud humming buzz sort of noise until you unscrewed the bottom and took the batteries out.
Being inspired by this duo roots well into early childhood and the beginnings of my appreciation for animation and videogame designing. This is what has started my arts career which is all about creating fantasy worlds and creatures.
The idea was surprising that I have never created an illustration of Jak and Daxter before. I wanted a slightly older look and even a more mysterious feel to it.
Playing around with pushing shapes and stylization. Absorbing some Gorillaz vibes inspiration obviously. Turning some of my closest loved ones into funky characters because why not.
Between April 1st to 30th I have a live Kickstarter to help me fund starting up my first enamel pin set.
I've been pondering the idea of Dungeons and Dragons pins for each player in the group to wear since starting to play a couple of years ago. Organising the manufacturing seemed so complicated and outrageous back then, but after the dark year of 2020 I've done alot of thinking and planning on what's next. I already have a supplier and online store ready to go, let's do this.

A trilogy of paintings I created inspired by Dark Souls. I had been playing through Dark Souls III and wanted to create these based off the alternative endings you can choose in the game.
“Link the Flame”
To link the flame with your soul and sacrificing your flesh in the process will continue the cycle, keeping the world as we see it in tact.
“End of Fire”
Rather than rekindling the life flame, you let it go out and put rest to the world. Maybe this will leave room to blossom a new age, the age of darkness, a welcome place for the dark soul.
“Lord of Hollows”
This process consumes the flame, but rather be engulfed by it, you embrace its power. Now flame ever worshipped and followed can live on within your vessel, making your power ever greater.
Sketch I had practicing curly hair from October. Enchanted was my first art show, unfortunately started just before covid hit Australia in 2020 around March. It was a great time while it was still happening. When I can make plans in the future, art shows and conventions is first on my list.
“Beard Braid” Pastel pencil on 8x 11 multimedia paper
I love how fantasy dwarves are so rough and rugged ale drinking, blacksmiths.
Yet their beards and hair is so nicely braided.
When did they do that? Are they really good at hairdos aswell?
Pencil portrait of Bran Stark, as portrayed by Isaac Wright in the show Game of Thrones. This saga is a massive inspiration to multiple artworks I have made both traditional and digital.
