'Fossil Dating Techniques'
                                                                'Greedy Guts'

   'Monster go round', a converted music box which plays 'It's a Small World'. I was feeling kind of morbid at the time of it's creation.

2016 Portraits

I'm starting a new folder here of more recent portraits and will be adding to them over the next few weeks.

Below are some 2 minute heads done of Klara with a paint pen and with colour and shadow added later. The sated one was a longer pose I did some time ago and recently did some more work on.





'THE GOTH GIRL'

Navigating JOC's Cartoons

Most of the new Mick and Hoppa cartoons are going into the Mick and Hoppa At War page simply because it is a continuing story which is just over half completed. Upcoming events include the confrontation between Russia and Turkey and the siege of Kobane and some sticky ends for ISIS - yes it's not finished yet and I think we'll be seeing 'Bagdaddy' again. I'll leave you to speculate on Mick and Hoppa's role in these and their ultimate fate, but I can say they will return to civilian life.

Ultimately I want to gather these, and possibly some other series into a book, hopefully by early 2017. The format will be soft cover with two panels per page.

I'll also be adding a lesser number of Mick and Hoppa in Australia and America. I also intend to add some more pictures to my portrait sketches.

Portait Sketches

I joined a local artists group recently where we drew each other. The following are my sketches except for the pencil sketch of myself.
