2011 was a busy and eventful year- looking forward to a new year of further development, change and satisfaction in all creative endeavors.

All the best.

Anamorphic recap…

Big plans for Red Scarlet X when she finally arrives but in the meantime I’m having a lot of fun with these two medium format beasts…

Mamiya 1000s and the Kiev 88.

All the best for the new year.

I am pleased to announce that Leacock Gallery in Sydney will be showcasing my art.

Last month I spent some time in the Catskills painting and drawing with friends. It was an an amazing time and a nice shift from the intensity of NYC. I lugged my 50mm square front LOMO around the world with me- some confused looks from airport security.
Golden hour/s in Hunter, NY…

In NYC on a Tuesday or Thursday evening?… then be sure to check out the Society of Illustrators Sketch sessions.

A great atmosphere and inspiring models…

Some quick plein air between gallery hopping, meeting and eating while in the USA…

I am happy to see that this cinematic trailer won “best trailer at E3″. I worked with the team at Digic Pictures providing digital matte paintings for the castle. I’m a big fan of the filmic quality Digic brings to their trailers. The camera work, lighting and motion capture/animation is superb.

The Tassie wilderness has a special place in my heart- specifically Cradle mountain and Lake St Clair. This is the second visit, the first with our son who hopefully will grow up with an appreciation for this environment. The air is crisp, the weather changes rapidly and the wildlife is abundant. It brings rejuvenation and a nice break from the clutter and choking city. I took down my new gear- 70′s LOMO anamorphics and a slider. Here are a few stills from the 50mm…

Beyond the trench is 85 x 85cm oil on linen painted for the Gallipoli Memorial Club art prize. It’s somber tone tries to deal with the psychology and human conditions of the Gallipoli Campaign in the hills beyond Anzac Cove.
