Sketching on the beach

I'm back from a Byron Bay adventure with lots of new sketches and inspiration for new work! Heres a little sketch i did while i was there, i plan on recreating this in to a bigger drawing this week!



Rose Street Artists' Market

You can find me at the Rose Street Artists' Market on Sunday the 2nd and Saturday the 8th of March!


A Tiny Nest and a Giant Bird


I found this tiny nest in my lemon tree this morning. 
I thought it was quite a coincidence considering I've been drawing a giant bird inspired by bird nests all week.



Speaking of which....

 The giant bird made of twigs is complete! I have made a little time lapse video showing my progress throughout this drawing which i will upload very soon!

Hundreds and hundreds of twigs!

Progress shot of a new drawing I've been working on.
