Retro Studies

So I came to the realisation the other day that my painting skills were somewhat lacking of late and could do with a freshen up...or not so much a freshen up but a total overhaul!! Introducing the first of a series of hopefully many more, boring 'copy' studies. Image stolen from the interwebz

Fantastic Noodles Pro Junior - Poster concepts

I was lucky enough a few months ago to be able to submit some designs for this years Fantastic Noodles Pro Junior - an awesome event held annually on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Some of the best up and coming surfers get to rip it up over three days in a bid to gain points.


This design I was trying to capture some unique South Australian elements - Granite Island, whales, the stairs at Waits and of course Fairy Penguins!! Had I finished this design it would've been full colour. It is very very loosely based on some day of the dead type designs and the uber cool Mike Giant!


This was a quick design...I didn't really get the vision in my head onto paper how I wanted. I was going for a crazy frothy noodle wave. It doesn't really look that epic!

Mole Cake!!



So I was feeling a little culinary and creatively deprived of late so what better way to rejuvenate than with a cake challenge!! And what kind of cake do you make a surfer mole...a mole cake of course! ...(the mole reference comes from Puberty Blues)

Didn't quite turn out like the concept but was still a heap of fun to create and tasted pretty good :D ....mmm hazlenutty! Maybe if I hadn't started drinking during the assembly process the vision would've been totally realised haha!!
