Sketches in pencil and PITT artist pen.

PITT art pen, Pentel brush on cartridge paper

Sketches in pencil, ink and brush, copic marker, digital colour.

These Mai Kai girls were done very quickly on A6 size bristol paper with a Pentel pocket brush pen and gray Copic brush marker. This inking technique is inspired by the work of one of my favourite illustrators Mark Rudolph.

Digital painting (Photoshop).

Started a new sketchbook today (a Daycraft signature A5 size, purchased from the RMIT bookstore in the city). This one has 100gsm smooth cream paper that takes a pentel brush pen nicely.

Writer and model Candice DeVille runs a wonderful lifestyle blog at http://www.superkawaiimama.com.au It’s full of amazing vintage goodness.
These sketches are based on and inspired by the photos on her site.

Just completed these two paintings for a local art show. The inspiration came from those kitsch prints and postcards popular in the 1960′s and 1970′s. They often feature cutesy girls and boys with huge eyes. In fact this type of painting is now know as Big Eyed Art and original prints sell for a premium on Ebay.
You can check out some of the reference I used here. Both paintings are acrylic on canvas and measure 8″ X 16″.
