So I did 100 drawings and paintings in 3.5 days purely to push myself. All traditional media on ~A3 paper, with the idea being to be forced to be spontaneous and learn to let go. I think it works out something like, you have to do 1 picture every 20 mins to make the deadline comfortably? Some I spent longer on, some were bullshit fast.. most insane and productive week of my life that week was, and I plan to do it again some time in the future!

Check out the results, and let me know what you think (keep in mind how fast I had to produce them!)

Also, I've just done an epic arty project I'll post soon.

I finally caved... curse you tweeters! (Please make me feel welcome ? )

I totally forgot to post before the launch.. but if you're in Sydney you should go check out Clothespeg at the National Grid gallery before September 22: [link] Put on by the one and only Yolanda Stapleton aka Onetrickpony. I've got some prints exhibited, not sure exactly which were accepted, but mostly submitted my pictures with girls in them (Evelyn, Untitled, The Graeae, etc.). So go check it out and maybe pick yourself up some awesome cheap prints from over 80 artists/illustrators/photographers!

In other news, I just re-launched my website having rebuilt it with Indexhibit: [link]

If anyone out there needs cheap artwork for their bands demo / ep / etc. check out the 12x12 section on there.. I'm selling each of my 12cm x 12cm 'daily sketches' for $30AUD, so you'll have exclusive usage of it (ie. I won't sell it to anyone else, just will keep the rights for my promotional use). Trying it out as a possible project, instead of simply 'daily sketches' I will be using the project as a means of thinking about composition for the purpose of a cd cover. If it fails it fails, just a bit of fun!

As well as this I've got a few ideas in the pipeline for making a few extra dollars selling things at reasonable prices... Raising funds for something... which I won't announce just yet in case it falls through

Over the past couple of years, some have probably heard Otilee and myself mumbling something about 'Forks Open Doors'... well basically the beast has chopped, changed and evolved over the past few years - and we have been quietly working hard behind the scenes this year on taking the full time freelance plunge!

Forks Open Doors is the name of this beast, and is the amalgamation of Otilee and Brendan as an art direction / design / photography / illustration / photo-illustration fused-at-the-hip duo.

We are super excited to announce that our website has now gone live! Check it out at: [link]

Many exciting things to come, and we will be frequently fleshing out the site with new work, content, and ironing out a few kinks here and there.
