portraits




Been experimenting with new styles of Illustrations for my portfolio, these were inspired by the work of Cicely Mary Barker.



This one is a bit of self-portrait.

Kakariki


I went down south a few weeks back to the Catlins and on my way back home stopped in the botanical gardens in Balclutha. There they had a aviary with beautifully coloured birds.









Since moving down south I have noticed a lot more native birds, so I thought I would try drawing them in a Eric Carle inspired style.. this image was made entirely with photoshop and is of Kakariki.

The latest piece I have finished. I've recently move to Dunedin, and was exploring the city art gallery, and found that they have a very famous self portrait by Rita Angus in their permanent collection.
I've been looking into her portraits and finding her work very inspiring.

Here are some photos of my major project, which was exploring the evolution of Pasifika Aotearoa.

New stuff









It has been a while, a very long while, since I last posted, so here is some new drawings I have done, to get back into it.
