I can't believe it's November already and that it's only another few weeks until Christmas!
There are some exciting updates on Drawn Wild, with a whole new category of fun. The Wild Whimsy Collection is a cute addition to the Drawn Wild menagerie with gorgeous creatures in beautiful black and white with a touch of cheeky colour thrown in. At the moment the Whimsies are available as Limited Edition A4 prints, mouse mats and soon-to-be-released card sets.
There are also some brand new additions to the Wild graphite section with "And Lift!" ... "Best Toy Ever" ... "The Longest Journey" ..."Hide and Seek" and "Patience"
Welcome to the bloggy bit :-)
Thanks for delving this far into Drawn Wild. This will be the section where I will post stuff and talk about things...the usual way a blog works I guess (having never done one, i'll work it out as I go along). I'll try not to make it too boring and hopefully will attempt to keep it somewhat up to date
Half way through 2011 already and it feels as though I've done nothing at all, yet I've been so busy, my head's been in a spin.
So, what's been happening? Sadly the second half of the year has started with some difficulty as my beautiful Mum Vi passed away suddenly. :)
I've finally managed to complete and upload the time lapse animation of the drawing of Group Hug.
Hope you like it!
Some of my work was recently showcased in the Australian Artists Palette magazine. It was quite a shock to actually see my work in print.
Here's a scan of the piece if you want to have a look.
Time has flown this year and so many things have happened. The days just seem to be blurring into weeks and months. It's been a real time of highs and lows, happiness and sadness.
I've had art shows, competitions, my son and his girlfriend moved in, and sadly, my wonderful Dad passed away. But the art goes on and I've completed a couple more pieces, and I am constantly working on new ones. Keep visiting, you never know what you're going to find.
I have finally updated the site and the newest works are here! These are "Morning Stretch", "Belly Rub", "Straggler", "Mud Fight" and "Not So Different". Please feel free to wander about and have a look.
I am happy to announce that both the SALA Festival and the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize were both successful!
This was my first attempt at doing a time-lapse video of one of my drawings.
I used a Canon 450 digital camera fixed above my desk and connected to my computer. The computer was set up to take a photo periodically giving me some warning (a countdown) so I could get out of the way..
This is the result: Hope you like it!
'Panda Tree', 'Dos Lobos' and 'The Lesson' were all sold at the recent Glenside Lion's Club Art Show! Two weeks prior, 'Roll in the Hay' was sold at the Campbelltown Rotary Art Show and Sale!
I have added a gallery of recently completed commissions. For specific info about commissions please click the 'Drawnwild' tab and go to 'commissions'

I have been flat out lately trying to catch up. I have completed two commissions and have almost finished a third that should have been completed a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately, life sometimes intervenes and messes up your plans.
