Drawing Bat Head Illustrations
April 11, 2020 / From Freestyle Drawing & Art
Bathead Drawings As a freelance illustrator it is always good to experiment with illustration techniques. I wanted to test drive some new brushes I bought for drawing with on my iPad Pro. After hearing a story that someone ate a bat I came up with this series of bat head illustrations. The drawings were also […]
Hand Lettering & Textures
March 6, 2020 / From Freestyle Drawing & Art
Over the years I have always experimented with shapes, text and hand lettering.

Bear with Bunny Slippers
September 12, 2019 / From Freestyle Drawing & Art
This illustration was going to be stand-alone street art though go used in a larger mural. The main figure is a bear who is wearing an African mask while casually wearing bunny slippers. The idea is that what may seem frightening on appearance is actually soft and cuddly. This type of illustration could work really […]
Wild Yetis or Yowies
August 24, 2019 / From Freestyle Drawing & Art
This is from a series of illustrations I have been working on exploring the lifestyle of wild yetis / yowies in their natural habitat.

Banana Ghost One of my favourite freestyle illustrations at the moment. I really enjoyed drawing out this idea. It was a bit of a mashup of a ghost, banana, rainbow and pool floaty to give extra character. Later on I will find a wall to paint up this illustration as a mural / street art […]
DEAD Snake Juice

I love working with textures when creating illustrations. This illustration was based around the dangers of drinking toxic substances. The snake is distilled in an alcohol based solution. The solution is what killed the snake in the first place.
Floating Zombie

Diamond & Snake Illustration

Friends 4EVA While I was working at a table in Sydney I saw this carved out diamond in the desktop. This gave birth to the idea of friends 4EVA illustration. A snake wrapping itself around the diamond, protecting the friendship at all costs. The overall look and feel was a bit trend based on the […]
Experimenting with Hand Drawn 3D Lettering
April 11, 2019 / From Freestyle Drawing & Art
Hand Drawn Typography Was wanting to draw this hand lettering style for a while as I think it would translate well into mural work. Below you can see a combination of hand drawn lettering with illustration and photo montage. Each item was drawn quickly to give that gritty feel about it.
