Supanova!
Supanova Brisbane is only a week away! And Supanova Adelaide only two weeks away! I keep looking at the awesome line-up of stars and muttering ‘Wow!’ under my breath. Go look. That slide show of amazing guests goes on and on and on. My humble self will be at the Dymocks stand with my signing [...]
November Calendar – Savara
Over the last month or so I’ve been arranging, with the help of the lovely people at Orbit, to have all my internetty stuff moved to a new hosting service. The old company didn’t have the most recent version of something which meant I couldn’t upgrade WordPress, which meant my website was not particularly secure. [...]
October Calendar – Tyvara
There’s a good chance this post will vanish soon during the website fix up, but I figure it’s better to put it up here and reconstruct later than be late with the calendar. A friend’s daughter posed for the reference photos for both Tyvara and Savara. (Thanks Beany!) I decided to portray her as a [...]
Get Reading!
I was delighted to find out that The Traitor Queen was picked as one of the 50 Books You Can’t Put Down in the Get Reading! promotion for this year. It aims to inspire Aussies to ‘kick back, relax, and get reading’. There’s a free guide available at the site from the 26th August and [...]
September Calendar – Lorkin
It’s been a very busy two months since I drew the last two character sketches and I’ve had no time to spare for finding models. So with no reference photos I turned to my trusty figure reference manual and combined three pics – of a golfer, a boxer and a surfer – to make up [...]
New Bookplates

Since then I’ve wanted to commission some art from her, and when I ran out of bookplates recently I knew it was the perfect opportunity. For my new bookplate, I wanted an illustration that conveyed the sort of stories and characters [...]
Conclusion to the Pinterest Competition Experiment
Thanks to everyone who entered my bookmark competition. It’s been fun and interesting. The winners are at the end of the competition post. If you are one of these winners, please contact me via the email address under the ‘Contact’ menu above. I’ve confirmed a few things and learned a few more. While I love [...]
August Calendar – Ashaki Achati
It’s taken me a while to find usable reference photos for Achati. I’d always imagined Sachakans to be a broad and stocky people, a little like polynesians in appearance. Achati, however, is smaller and more refined than the average Sachakan. Scouring the internet, I eventually found one actor and a tourist shot to refer to [...]
Win a Set of Bookmarks
As I said in my last post, I recently had a small initial run of bookmarks printed to give away at signings. Now, since I’m not going on tour this year, I thought I’d give readers a chance to own a set by holding a little competition. And as a little experiment and to reward [...]
