It seems some of you who are friends with me don't even know what I do for a living, so without further a dooo.
I'm a freelance illustrator.
I draw pictures for a living, it is a job, it's not always fun.
This is why usually I roll my eyes when someone asks me to draw them a picture.
I've been working since 2003, and I'm going to paste a whole bunch of work in this here blog.
Mainly because tonight I have been going through gigs of artwork, sourcing some hi rez stuff for my agency as they're putting out the new field guide.
One of my most fun ongoing random jobs are from Official Xbox Magazine. (US Version)
These are just a few recent ones, but I started working for Xbox in I think around 2005.. So there is a LOT more.
I'm mostly known for drawing pinup girls.
Although usually its more of a hobby, and a personal means of incoming through licensing the artwork as prints, stickers, drum sticks, bottle openers etc etc.... It actually started out way back when creating the nudey Pinup girl in the back of Picture Premium magazine, an australian porn mag.
( I also, did editorial illustrations for the regular Picture magazine, which contained some pretty racey and disturbing subject matter. It was humerous at least.)
That was 7, of probably nearing 100. I have no idea how many there are now, but it has been a constant evolution. My ladies do kind of get around, I'll admit. Apart from just floating freely on the internet without a care in the world, they have ended up printed on Drum Sticks, Bottle Openers, T Shirts, Cars, Books, tattooed on loyal 'fans' or just people who liked a particular drawing and would you believe even a US Marines Commemorative coin.
I've been working for an Illustration Agency for a year and a bit now, they have been getting me jobs like this:
Yellow Pages, ANZ, Holeproof Socks, Yoplait, McCain, Virgin Australia Airlines, Players Tobacco, etc.
Storyboards, quick visuals, Vector Illustrations for flash animated web ads, Polished art for Calendars.
Tough deadlines, tough clients, good money, amazingly friendly agency.
I still get some big jobs through my own means though, like a few jobs for Hasbro:
Well it's getting late here, its crazy how long it takes to upload images on SG.
I guess I'm doing a bit of reflection tonight, If any of you actually know me, you will know that I am extremely critical and hard on myself. I am never ever happy with what I do. But sorting through it all, I can see now that I have done A LOT. Sure, there is plethora of work I don't like, but that's ok. Its the mere fact that I did something at all that makes me happy now.
What you have seen here is probably about 2% of my work, I wish I could upload everythingm it would be the biggest blog EVER. But, I'm not that crazy and it would take months.
If you got this far, thank you for getting to know me.
And if you see me in the SG chatroom, I'm probably working on something like you have seen in this blog.

My best friend (gumbilove) who I'm moving in with when I get over there can fire staff and I can fire hoop. So it's a class act
