I liked the photograph version of Greed rather than the vector art version. It, seemed to me, a little clearer. But both are good.

Just perusing the rest of your gallery and I have to say I am impressed with your nature studies. I know you said you did them a few years back, but even despite that they are brilliant. The proportions on the swan seemed a little off, but I'll forgive yah on that one.

The insects are amazing! The fly was great, and the locust was, uh, I don't know what to say. I, personaly, hate the fuckers. So annoying to study and even more annoying, and freaky, to handle- they are used as food for some of the larger, more exotic reptiles. I love animal studies. I used to work at Jersey Zoo, so I was always sketching and snapping photos when I wasn't working with the animals. So I really appreciate your work- I saw and took tips from the Zoo's offical artists, and I don't think I saw them draw a locust as well as you have!

Well done!

hahah..thank eh.. yea the swan is off, but i did tat when was 12..haha..when i was applying my art scholarship. hehe..of cos at tat time, i was still fresh and i don't was even any good. lol..

btw, i really appreciate yo comments n its glad to see tat u appreciate it as well. i honestly prefer the first "seven deadly sins" but cos my teacher said the quality isn't high enough to for display so i had to do a vector version of it. hehe.. guess we've got a pretty similar taste eh

so wot do u work as now?

I don’t work now. I’m now just finishing my first term at university in England. I worked as a volunteer at the Zoo for about 4 years, at first in the visitor centre, and then two summers ago I began working with the staff on the animals, caring for them etc, and then I was promoted to a Zoo tour guide last summer. Being around at dusk and dawn when there where no visitors gave me some amazing opportunities for drawing…

Maybe I should put some of my sketches up… Would be nice to get some crit on them, seeing as I am quite an amateur.

Now there’s an idea…



I’m quite liking your ‘Aftermath’. Did you ever think of a suitable slogan?

hehe.. wow! tat's sounds great workin at the zoo! i'm quite an animal lover as well. just at i don't get much opportunity to interact wit the wild. hee..besides, u can draw whenever u have the time n tat sounds like yo drawin for passion rather for someone. tat's good! and YOU definitely should post em up here buddy! HAVE TO! hehe..

i love my aftermath as well, but i still find the text at the bottom is not approperiate, people should interpret the piece by themselves instead of mi explainin to them. oh wellz...i've already thought of a slogan...

" Daddy, what did YOU do in the nuclear war? "

it was from one of those old posters to emphasize the guilt of war?

Nice, very nice. I think that slogan sums it up nicely. But just the image itself hits out with a hard message.

I will post some of my things up I think... If only if I can find them... I remember I gave one of my sketch books to the education department so they could use some of the images in posters and things for the kids (they teach about conservation etc to the local schools). Pity, because some of the animals I studied are not found in conventional zoos. If you have the time, put in a search for Jersey Zoo, check out what they do. It's all about preserving the environment and breeding endangered animals and re-releasing them back into the wild. Makes for some interesting poster designs!

Exactly! We need to do our part for this world and for our children! However small that may be.
