CBP 2012 Tour Poster

(Mankind) The Crafy Ape

Last night I did the final bit of work that needed doing for the new Crippled Black Phoenix album. We started talking about the album art earlier in the year so this is the first day in a very long time that it's not part of my active "what do I need to do today" thought process. It's finished, the experience has been fantastic, and I can't wait to hold a physical copy of it all in my hands. I've also just finished putting together the poster for the band's European tour for 2012, which I'll post soon, but until then here's the front cover for (Mankind) The Crafty Ape (due for release at the end of January 2012).

New Book Now Available

2011 - 2012

The last couple of months for 2011 look to remain as busy as those preceding it. The 23BROKENMACHINES online exhibition continues to develop (more progress shots will start to appear on that blog in the coming weeks). I've got 2 new art books nearing completion. The first, SHIFT/PHASE, will be available in the next week or two. The second won't be available for sale publicly at this stage, but will be available in other ways (confused yet?).

2012 is gearing up to be an exciting year. I'm already talking with people about upcoming collaborations, including a new project with Justin Greaves of Crippled Black Phoenix, and a joint exhibition with one of my favourite Melbourne artists Kaitlin Beckett. I'll also have a few new comics out on the shelves, including the return of a certain gas masked chap......
