CREATURISM

Twinkling Star Deathbringer

2011-10-22T17:00:00.004+10:00

This illustration is for a friend well its was for their birthday but I was kind of distracted by other things. All started with a random conversation about if you had a moon pony what would you name it ? My name was so lame that when my friend told me their's I was it total aura of the name they came up with. Soon us their birthday wasn't far of I decided to create something to do with it.

My first few attempts where kind of lame and was having a lot of trouble getting something that looked cool. I've been very uncreative for awhile and nothing seems to be working for me creatively so I decide to use Tomer Hanuka image us a reference for mine. I like Tomer pose a lot. I like how it's nice and fluid yet has a feel of power to it took me a couple of attempts to get a similar look.

I do feel bad that I ripped of this work but I wanted to get a understanding for myself about how to drawing it and the balance of the pieces. One of the best way I hope to get over a creative slump is to copy and remix other artist that you admire.

If you do like Tomer Hanuka work I suggest checking out this website or even purchase this new book like I have.

The re re do

trying a different technique

2011-04-09T16:45:00.000+10:00

Really want to try something different rather then my usually throw watercolors down over the drawing. Blood hard trying to get that more professional arty look to my work, this was the best of the efforts that took a whole day to do.

Their some promise to it just have to keep working away at it.

And now for something completely different

2011-04-07T23:12:00.000+10:00

I've been struggling to get any kind of illustration work done and it's been an absolute pain. Well sometimes you need to be put outside your comfort zone to get a new perspective. For me that was participating in National Youth Week by creating and art installation.

My idea was simple gather a bunch of toy and put them to war and have people donate some to the cause. But to make it more interactive I was hoping to get people to use twitter, were they would pretend to be their toy and describe what they were doing in the war.

Well it didn't quite go according to plan only had one friend donate toys and I spent the day twitter to myself an imaginary war. That's all right at the end of the night when I had to pack it up saw people playing with the toys and acting like giant kids again so that made it all worth while.

Get out of my face can't you see I'm relaxing

2011-03-28T21:51:00.000+10:00

Sat down to get some more work done on my drunk superhero. But I wasn't loving the pose anymore just felt flat and boring need to be more like someone taking a photo of a wasted up athlete. Think this came from watching both season 1 and 2 of east down and bound even used a little on Danny McBride us reference of my superhero new look.

I have a stressful job so I drink

Rough work for the banner design of my friend blog Jessica Whiting . Good project to get myself back into the swing of things. So my only real suggestion was that it has a hit feminism and this is what I've come up with.

First Drawing of the New Year

2011-01-05T21:49:00.000+10:00

2010-12-03T12:43:00.000+10:00

Original idea worked well till I decided to paint it then it turned into disasters mess

Second and Third attempts. Should have stop with the Jackson Pollock paint through down but that seem unoriginal and lazy don't even know what I was on when I draw on those stupid lines around the body. Already have my next idea to try might should a bit crazy but want I'm thinking involves glue tac and hundred and thousands.

Six Years Later “Consumerism”

2010-09-20T16:18:00.000+10:00

Six Years Later is a visual art magazine/art book intended to get your thinking juices flowing about serious issues within today’s culture. They’re looking for artwork for their upcoming issue which explores this idea of “consumerism” and its effects on our society within a period of six year. My idea for consumerism in the future came from that stupid Keshia video Tik Tok. The whole idea is that companies hire these "consumer whore" to promote their shit using whatever the future new social media is.

2010-07-19T17:38:00.000+10:00

Not sure if its the weather or the cold but I'm just not feeling that creative. Even if I'm feeling a bit under its given me a chance to draw and fix up some idea that I have floating around my head.

Last Dinosaurs poster art remix comp

2010-07-01T17:28:00.000+10:00

Last few design for this were with the close up of the T-Rex face. That concept seem was not coming together at all. I would love to have a pet T-Rex someday,a pocket sized one that would be so cool but what if it escaped ? That my whole new idea for the design.

Link to the competition it more about remix the element that they give you but screw that with a name like Last Dinosaurs I just had to draw a dinosaurs.

Missed the submission

2010-03-31T22:19:00.001+10:00

Bugger.. missed the submission date to enter my illustrations. Spent way to much time on the idea stage and not on completing something.

This is it I swear

2010-03-22T20:39:00.003+10:00

So this is it no more changing my mind. So the idea is to have a hand shooting out laser from it finger tips like its creating the shoe but the hand laser a drawing their energy from the cool a top the hand. I thinks it sound crazy so that a good start but it will look awesome.

Drunk Drawing from St Paddy's Days

2010-03-19T10:09:00.001+10:00

Slept on it now I changed my mind.

2010-03-14T16:21:00.002+10:00

I've been a thinking that my Nike warrior idea just so no the right thing so much that I have completely change my direction. Created this quick composition to get an idea of my new direction but I think it will suite my style better and fits the idea a lot more us well.

Nike Warrior

2010-03-13T15:20:00.002+10:00

Stayed true to my idea of a Nike Warrior. The top is my main focus because of the read to fight pose just wanted to see what the triangle guy would look like next to the smoke creature. Still have to add the background,type us well us fixing up any tiny error along the way.

More Nike Air Max 90 Competition Work

2010-03-06T16:01:00.005+10:00

After a fair drawing and a bus trip I gave up on the idea of have a statue with a person reading the about being your own revolution mostly because it looked dull. Still liking the warrior setting on the chair looking at something biggest problem was the sitting "why the hell is he sitting he's a warrior !" easy fix just have him standing.

Now the tricky part adding the detail and making sure the shoes look cool.

Air Max Competition Sketches and Ideas

2010-03-03T09:49:00.003+10:00

Few sketches that I did last night my main think fro this art competitions was to draw some kind of hipster warrior that wore Pegasus Nike shoes with a power glove. I'm sure that I was half asleep when I draw the wacky diamond face ninja sitting down on a chair but just really like it for a strange reason.

Lost and Confused

2010-02-28T14:31:00.003+10:00

The final version of my lost and confused illustration. Decided to drop the tattoo's because taking away from the type and making the whole piece to busy to look at. I had the all seeing eye in one of my rough drawings from awhile back think it helped balance out the rest of the illustration by giving your eye away of following the drawings composition.

Nike Air Max 90 Competition

2010-02-28T11:29:00.003+10:00

Found a competition on foot locker about creating an original piece of artwork on my interpretation of the Nike air max 90. Good thing about the prize is if you win your artwork is shown through out all the foot locker stores in Australia and New Zealand thats some great exposure. Better getting cracking on an idea.

Junior Network Drinks in Melbourne.

2010-02-12T13:55:00.005+10:00

Had a brilliant trip to Melbourne for my first ever Junior drinks night and it did not disappoint. I got to meet Stan the guy pretty much responsible for my trip down even thought he wasn't the Bernard Black of design he was still very cool I do wish I asked a few more question rather then just starting but maybe next time. Also had dinner with the guys and girl behind Junior which was pretty amazing in it own right but they were stood up by the amazing dumplings at this Japanese restaurant oh why was I not paying attention to its name.

Oh Oh.. and I also meet one of guy behind the slyAPARTMENT which when I found blow my mind because I love that blog spent hours just look at the amazing pictures they find.

I must say my biggest disappointment was that I didn't take any photo of my trip down but I was able to find myself in some of the pictures taken from the night but I'm not going to tell you were I'm in the photos.

Burlesque flyer...almost finished

2010-02-07T12:11:00.003+10:00

Man I feel rusty when it comes in actually designing something. Took my inspiration from the amazing Alphonse Mucha but keep my design rather simply compared to his complex masterpieces.

Burlesque flyer

2010-02-05T18:03:00.005+10:00

Development of burlesque flyer for my friends monthly keep active event were she show you that keeping fit isn't just about have to run on one machine for an hour to lose weight . The character that we created has yet to be given a name yet is already of to her second job us a sexy burlesque dancer.

Being more tenacious

2010-02-01T14:51:00.004+10:00

If only get exposer,freelance work and other things of that nature was like training with Mr. Miyagi couple of lessions of waxing on and of followed by a montage and that would be it I would be the creative director of some fancy design company working hard then scoring with hot women all to the tune of some indie rock song. But that fantasy not reality (yet !) but I'm this year want to put myself out their more and get involved with the design community so instead of working on my art stuff been sending out emails to magazine,companies, agency's,blog pretty much anything design related.

Haven't had much word back yet but I did see my work appear on Australia Edge so thats good. I will also taking myself do to Melbourne to the Junior network drinks party thing.

2010-01-25T10:23:00.000+10:00

Watching movie helps me be creative.

2010-01-23T11:51:00.005+10:00

Unhappy with the overall layout of my illustration I need to find a some inspiration that invoked that feeling of being young, angry and slackerish what better then wasting a day watching movies for that inspiration. My brain snap of an idea did'nt come to tell I saw the dvd cover of a clockwork orange it was a quick rush to my sketchbook so I could get the overall design in my head onto paper. Now all that needed is to stop watching movies and get it done.

Last night was my first ever gallery show. It was a great experience seeing real life random's looking at my work. The show was held at Bleeding Hearts Gallery it a nice open space with some extremely comfortable psychiatrist-like couches. The other artist works were amazing its best that you go have a look for yourself cause describing things with words is not my specialty.

the wonderful kick ass work of one Ken Smith
