Art for Costa Rica

I just did an illustration for a publication called Revista Colectiva. These guys are based in Costa Rica. I meet them while I was working at The Hungry Zine, which was a similar publication I work on for about a year and a half with some fellow creative mates.

Revista Colectiva explores a new topic each issue; this upcoming issue will be games. I chose to do a piece about the board games my sisters and I would play as children. We played the classic games like Monopoly and Cluedo. Both of these games can be viewed as rather negative really; Monopoly encourages kids to be greedy and bankrupt their mates. Cludeo on the other hand is a light-hearted romp through a murder mystery, where every character in the game is a possible suspect. Well, so much for the innocence of childhood. Let me know what you think of the illustration world. By the way check out the Revista Colectiva at http://www.revistacolectiva.com

Hello World

Well it took a while, but I have finally created my own Blog. My main interests lie in illustration, graphic design, fine art and animation. I must say that while I may have a great interest in animation I am only now beginning to study it in-depth in my spare time.

As you could guess I am trying to churn out a living as an illustrator/ graphic artist.
It was only a month ago that I quite my part time job at a printing store, and decided to solely do freelance work.

So this Blog is not totally boring to the general public I have posted a sample of an illustration I did a while ago for a Melbourne based publication called Is Not Magazine. The theme was bigger is/is not better.
There it is my first entry for this Blog! Let’s hope I can maintain some form of discipline and make regular entries to this site. Thanks for reading.
