It’s getting cold outside.
Perfect weather to work on some new drawings.
Above is a sketch of what I hope to be turning into something super special. Seeing as I haven’t sketched in weeks (or even months) I thought I would post up a sneak-peek.
And - NO it’s not going to be a Sylvia Ji rip off. Trust me.

I recently interviewed Nathan Jurevicius and the production team behind the Scarygirl online game. If you haven’t seen Nathan’s work before I suggest you take a look!
Best known for creating the quirky world of Scarygirl, Nathan Jurevicius is one of the industry’s hardest working illustrators. Not only is he the creative force behind a swag of collectible figures, various mini comics, solo exhibitions in both Australia and overseas, a graphic novel (due to be released October ‘09) and a proposed feature film. He is also responsible for the lavish styling of the newly released Scarygirl online game.
This was not achieved by one person alone. With the help of Sophie Byrne (Passion Pictures Australia) and financial assistance from the Film Victoria Digital Media Fund - Nathan, and a team of dedicated professionals have brought the world of Scarygirl to life.
In this interview, developers Tony Polinelli and Tarwin Stroh-Spijer from Touch My Pixel, ‘in game’ Flash animator Suren Perera from Renmotion and Nathan Jurevicius share their professional viewpoints on the production of this ground breaking project.

Yep. It’s true… Before I was an illustrator I was a keen photographer.
It’s been ages and ages since I owned a new high-end camera so I saved a bit of cash and bought my first ever Digital SLR. I haven’t read the instructions yet and I’m still button mashing, which proves the UI is easy enough to follow.
Above is a photo I took on my way home from the pub. In the absence of a tripod I had to lay on my back and brace myself against a fence. I’m pretty sure with a bit of reading (and a new stabilisation method) I’ll nail it.
More photos soon.
