The Rundown

Goldfish Migration

Max's Lament

This piece will be showing along side a Maurice Sendak exhibition at Wonderful World Art Gallery sometime soon.

I'll post more details of the event when they are announced.

I wasn't go to post this one, it's from a comic project I'm working on, but I couldn't help myself.

Don't Ban The Can

Red Handed

Don't Ban The Can is being held in Melbourne on the 20th of September as a protest to a new law that can have anyone caught carrying a spray can fined on the spot.

Red Handed (above) is my contribution to the show.

You can find out more about the event here.

Near Destruction Of Traffic Signal Box Attracts Media Attention

Well, one of my TSBs was in the newspaper the other day, but unfortunately it was at the Victory Hotel's expense...

The building caught fire last Saturday night/Sunday morning and pretty much destroyed that side of the building. Don't worry guys, my box survived... unless they knock it down while cleaning up.

Here's a photo from my office window where you can see the extent of the damage. There's also a teeny fireman hosing down the roof over a full day after the fire.

Robot Surrender

This one is a CD Cover design for an Italian musician called Snoe. From what I can tell his music is ambient/electronica hip-hop or something like that... I'm not too sure. I guess I'll know more when he sends me a copy.

New Painting

Here is a new painting I just finished. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at photographing my paintings and they didn't turn out very clear.

Jimmy & E.C.

"Very rarely does the Universe pair together such an extraordinary match of character and design. I had me in stitches." Rob Corless*

*No one else has really commented on the greatness that is Jimmy & E.C. so I had to go ahead and quote myself.

But don't just take my word for it, go look for yourself. I'm sure you will agree.

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.

Little Bug

FYI - Interesting note, this is my 200th post on my Cyanide Sunset blog.

Reach Out TSB

Located on Marshall Rd, Mt Gravatt.

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.

Jimmy & Emaciated Chicken Meet Cthulhu

This one is not quite finished yet. I'll post the complete version over at the Jimmy & EC blog when it's done.

Planet Lovecraft Issue #2

Planet Lovecraft Issue #2. Cover art by Terry Pavlet.
If you want to get hold of an issue go to the Planet Lovecraft site or contact me.

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.
