I’ve always been a Maker at heart. When I’m not working, I’m experimenting with new tech. Whether that’s diving into 3D to play with a bit of colour and movement or exploring the inherently frustrating facets of Gen AI.
This page is a mere taste of that curiosity. Most of my graphic work is born from a lifelong obsession with cinema and graphic novels, usually with a heavy dose of irony. It’s less about a formal "fine art" statement and more about the joy of making.
The Maker in Me.
I created this during the GFC, lamenting the cancellation of NASA’s Constellation Project; the program designed to take us back to the Moon and eventually to Mars. Created well before the rise of SpaceX or the new private space race, it captures a moment when our space programs desperately needed a boost but were instead grounded by a fiscal vacuum. For me, was a reminder of a childhood dream to see humanity explore the stars, at a time when that future felt Earthbound..
Astro-nought.
Clockwork.
As a filmmaker, I’ve always been obsessed with the visual shorthand of classic cinema. This guy is a literal interpretation of Kubrick’s masterpiece. The world’s only true "Clockwork Orange." After years of sketching him on the margins of scripts and napkins, he finally found his way off the page and onto a print. He’s significantly less prone to “ultra-violence” than his namesake, though his mechanical legs still enjoy a “bit of the old in-out”.
Ledgend.
I created this in the lead-up to the 2009 Academy Awards, during that heavy period of anticipation for Heath Ledger’s posthumous Oscar for The Dark Knight. It’s a nod to the chaos of the performance and the undeniable legacy he left on the craft. Seeing a fellow Australian redefine such a legendary role was a massive moment for anyone in the industry
Art Wars NFT.
I developed these during the fallout of the Art Wars NFT saga, as a series of conceptual "Burn & Replace" ideas to solve a quality crisis within the collection. The community response was so immediate that I was fast-tracked by the board to join as a core contributor to help salvage the project’s aesthetic direction. While the entire venture eventually collapsed under a wave of high-profile legal crosshairs, it was a wild lesson in how a single creative spark can ignite a blazing beacon of “hope” for a community in revolt. Very Star Wars indeed.
