The man who lost his mind Page 2

New page of 'The man who lost his mind'. It's all fairly introductory and atmospheric so far but rest assured non stop action and daring intrigue are just around the corner for our as yet un-named protagonist. See it here.

Also here is a drawing of Matt Preston. Enjoy.

The man who lost his mind

Just started a new comic over at my website. You can check it out there or maybe here. It starts with a man who wakes up to discover he doesn't remember who is is or how he came to be locked inside a wrecked car in a junkyard. Its a project that I've had sitting in the back of my mind for some time now and I'm pretty darn excited to get it started. I'm hoping to update at least once a week, so stay tuned

Sketches

Australia INfront - Woman

I spent the last few weekends [and week nights] making this piece for a visual response competition at Australian INfront.

I wanted a woman that was strong, self assured and wearing a silly helmet. It seems to be a recurring theme lately, drawing all sorts of people in strange hats. Sigmund Freud would probably have something to say about that, but he'd probably say it in German and I'd have to figure it out from his gestures. Although the gestures would presumably also be in German.

Don't judge a cover by its book.

Titles are something that fascinates me. Perhaps it's a sign of laziness but I sometimes prefer to name art and projects rather than produce them. So although I am not a member of any band or currently perform or record music, I've already given my second album the title 'God sleeps better naked'. My next novel [which I have no intention to write] is entitled 'The hand that strokes the kidney'. I also tend to like the titles of books and films based only on their titles, 'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension' being a case in point.

So with that I mind, recently I've using books and their titles as the starting point for a series of drawings. Using books from op-shops and second hand bookstores I make drawings on their covers based on their titles. Below are 'The Snow People' and The Black Spectacles'. I've got a whole stack that I'm working through so look forward to 'Approaching Priests', 'BABIES NEED BOOKS' and my favorite 'Future Youth: How to reverse the aging process'.

Together and Alone

Long ago in the swirling mists of time, back in a era that the ancients would later call February, my girlfriend and I put on an exhibitionat Arthur Gallery in Ballarat. It was a great success, we had a lot of fun and people asked us many questions about our collaborative pieces, I also ate my weight in cheese and wine. Now all these years later I've finally put together a record of those heady days here, enjoy.
