Awakener Part 1

Last week I posted an unfinished version of the first page of my Awakener comic. You'll be able to see the whole story in a future issue of Planet Lovecraft magazine. Not sure which issue yet.

Rob's Comics

Here is the first page (minus the dialogue) for a short comic I've been working on recently for Planet Lovecraft Magazine.
It seems I've been spending a lot of time working on comics lately and I'm about to commence work on a huge story with American writer Dave Radford, which I'm very excited about. Dave has written a story that is insanely grand, complex and amazing. I'll post more details and sneak peeks as we go, so keep a look out.

The Sparrow Visit TSB








Garden City Shopping Centre at Mt Gravatt is slowly turning into my very own gallery. After completing two TSBs in the area, I have another four to do over the coming weeks. I'll post some photos as I go.

Speaking of Traffic Signal Boxes, Queensland Urban Ecology have just released a new book featuring some great box designs from all over Brisbane painted by over 100 artists. It's a great collection of varied work and, hopefully, the first of more to come. You can order a copy here at the Queensland Urban Ecology website.

Robot Vs Dragon


Here is a new Traffic Signal Box I painted last week. It's located at Mt Gravatt outside Garden City Shopping Centre.

At one stage I was totally saturated with rain. The rain also made some of the paint run, but I have a messy painting style so we can pretend it was deliberate.

Planet Lovecraft



Issue #2 of Planet Lovecraft is now available and features... yes, you guessed it, yours truly.
Planet Lovecraft is a magazine based on the ideas of horror mastermind H.P. Lovecraft, inventor the Cthulhu mythos which attributes all things scary and tentacle covered (apart from the scary, tentacled octopus, which is of course very freakishly real).
I have a short two page comic about what happens to children who don't respect the boundaries of the unknown... and get eaten by a big scary tentacled demon.
I'll have another comic in Issue #3 and I think, the cover for Issue #4, which I've posted a little sneak-peek of below.
So if you're a Lovecraft enthusiast, into creepy horror stories or just love cool independent comics you should definitely check this one out.

Hatraiser TSB

While I was recently on holiday I painted another traffic signal box. This time in the heart of Brisbane City, box no. 1 (B001) no less.
This box was previously painted by Anthony Lister and then by Simon Degroot who have both since achieved artistic success, so here's hoping some of it rubs off on to me.

You can check out the original Hatraiser design here.

The Origins of Jimmy & E.C.

Jimmy & E.C. had to come from somewhere, right?

Well I've posted the first part of their origin story over at their very own blog. So now there will be no more mystery or speculation as to how Jimmy came to be demonically possessed.

Although you will have to wait for E.C.'s introduction. I haven't made that one up yet and I want to make it as silly as possible.

Go check it out at Jimmy & Emaciated Chicken.
