More Sketches

Eternity Be Mine

The Venetian

Le Destin Malade, Je Peur

Continuous flow of sketches
and piles of sketchbooks in my studio,
I should photograph them more often...

Concept Art Test for Gameloft



Was asked to send some quick sketches to Gameloft in Auckland
It's only a test.
Here is what I came up with thus far.

Allegorical beasts

The Temporary Muse, Covered in Peacocks
acrylic on Arches paper
24 x 36 in.



Monsieur Ambition
acrlyic on Arches paper
24 x 36 in.


My allegorical beasts 
Parts from a final project
I love the characters.
Playing on ideas of great expectations
obsession, illusion, ambition and desire.

Caricature venture



Never really tried caricature before.
Only portraiture or invented cartoons
Exaggerated life,
This was the result.

Sketch: A Macabre Fairytale


A sketch I made
that got rather detailed
funny interaction between these two
who is more impenetrable really?

Portraits from Ko Chang







Became restless and needed to draw someone
In Ko Chang Thailand
Created these tiny portraits of the people I met.
Cannot forget the intoxicating magic of that time
motorbike rides and coconut shakes.

Renata, Yossi, Adam, Bjorn & Hobbe, pencil in sketchbook, 100 x 140 mm

Sketchbook








Sketchook excerpts
Maybe I will flesh out as gouache and coloured pencil works. 
Traveling through Southeast Asia the past four months
I have had a lot of ideas without the time,
My sketchbook is packed and nicely falling apart.
The first picture was drawn on an e-ticket
I ran out of paper on an island sans art shop.

Concept Art for The Island of Niljora













Getting lost in my island world again,
Bit more fantastical than the story I am writing
But that's alright,
Will I ever write it all? 
An illustrated novel or even a film,
