CD Design

Here is a design intended to be used as a CD cover and for advertising for a friend of mine who performs under the name of Jimmy Hat.

Transition Between Worlds

Just some concept art I've been working on lately.

Go take a squizz at what Jimmy & E.C. are up to!

Enviro-Super Hero

This is a commissioned piece I did recently for a guy who gave it to his wife as a birthday (update: new job, not birthday) present. She works as an environmentalist so he wanted her portrayed as an environmental super hero. The other elements he wanted included were her favourite things like her cat, Dr Seuss' The Lorax, Alice In Wonderland theme, environmental issues, etc.
Obviously when I heard "super hero" I tried to make it as comic book as possible. It was a fun pic to draw and turned out pretty well too.

Rob's Art Off To The U.S.

Finally, I can rest.
For the last couple of months I've been busily preparing enough artwork to send over to the Wonderful World Art Gallery in Culver City, California.

I've never displayed my art overseas before so it's all kind of new and exciting for me.

Here are most of the paintings and drawings I'm sending over.

Ironically, the painting I spent most of my time working on won't be included.

Rob's Prints @ 696

I recently had some prints made up to be sold at 696 gallery/store in Melbourne. It looks like a pretty cool store, so go check it out (I haven't actually been there myself, but they seem like very nice people). The store is filled with loads of cool art and now they're selling my prints, so if you're in Melbourne and you want to support some stuggling artists or more specifically... me, head on in.

Feeling a bit better than yesterday

As you could probably guess from yesterday's post, I was feeling a little burnt out last night. I did manage to do a little more on this pic though...

Rob's not smart enough to realise when he needs to sleep.

Today, my head hurts. My eyes and neck are sore and I have a headache. There are two reasons I feel like this, (1) I've spent too much time in front of a computer, at work and at home, and (2) I need more sleep. But will I take my own advice to take a break? Probably not. I'm a sucker.
I'm not complaining. I mean it's nothing that some panadol and coffee can't fix, right?

Anyway, this next unfinished pic is part of the reason for my lack of feeling normal today.
Although it's not complete I quite liked where I left off last night so I thought I'd post it for all to see. I've already mentioned I'm a sucker so I guess I'll probably try to finish it off tonight.

4ZZZ Update

So this is what the final version of the 4ZzZ flyer, that is being run in all the local music press, looks like. I think they might be even printing up some large posters which would be nice to see. Keep a look out.

Finished... but no title

So I've finished my painting which remains untitled as of yet. I may add a couple of touch ups at some point, but for now I think I need to move on to my next piece.

More FreQee Photos

You can find more photos from FreQee here and here.

FreQee Photos

Here are some on the photos I took at FreQee last Friday night. The show is running until this Saturday, so there is still a chance to check it out.

There is some fantastic work on display.

Get Your FreQee On!

Tonight is the opening night for FreQee at the Brisbane Powerhouse.

Over 50 local and a few interstate artists have all contributed their interpretation of a bunee qee figure and from what I've seen so far there is some amazing work on show.

It looks like it promises to be a great night so come along if you are around town looking for something to do.

I'll try to remember my camera this year and I'll post some photos of the night.


Go to FreQee's Myspace page to see some of the hype.

Doing my bit for community radio

So anyway, it seems 4ZzZ like my submission and are going to use it in the advertising for their upcoming Radiothon.

I made a few changes to the original image to make it a poster format, like so...

4ZzZ have been the backbone in supporting a unique and rich music/art culture in Brisbane for the last Thirty years.

No Other Radio Like This

My submission to 4ZzZ's No Other Radio Like This competition for art to use as advertising for their annual Radiothon fundraising.

Eli & Mikey

Eli had to say goodbye to Mikey. They bonded in a way that only a four year old and an inanimate object can.

Jimmy's Back!

Go and see what Jimmy & E.C. are up to.

Mikey Macqee, In The Flesh

So anyway with the Freqee exhibition almost at our heels and that I've been seeing a few of the other artists designs, I thought I might as well show off my little guy..... my qee, that is.
Since finishing my Qee I have been thinking of how I could have done it differently. Although it is a bit busier than I expected, I don't think it's too bad for my first attempt.

The Freqee exhibition is at the Brisbane Powerhouse on Friday, August 31st.

Mikey (My Qee)

Having finished painting my Qee for the upcoming FreQee show way early and that I tend to have a problem with containing my patience at times, I've decided to post this photo.

I took the photo with the camera on my phone intentionally to make it crappy, cutting out a lot of detail. Then to further disguise it I very trickily made the photo a negative. My craftiness knows no end.

Press On
