new work…
In between everything else, I’ve managed to get some commissioned work done too. Here is “Twin Guard-dog Guardians of the Universe”. Welcome.
coming soon…
The last few weeks have been incredibly busy, and I haven’t had much to update my website, never mind send a newsletter! But there is good reason – in the next few months I will be joining 2 different shows in two different parts of the world!
Last year I took part in the “Domy Books Monster Show 6″ in Austin Texas, and they have invited me back for the next iteration of monster inspired artwork, (maybe) featuring one of my favourite monster artists, Matt Furie. That will be coming up for Halloween, I guess. They should announce dates soon. In the meantime, check out their upcoming events – book signing with Sammy Harkham & Jonny Negron on their homepage, or look at the past events here on Domy’s Flickr.
Then over in the U.K, I will be participating in a friend’s ambitious “100 Houses”drawing show, which will be held at the Tabacco Factory in Bristol also in November. 100 artists have been asked to interpret their idea of a house, with 20% of sales going to a local homeless shelter. Every piece has to be on 10″ by 10″board, so its going to be really interesting to see what folks come up with. A very good idea and a worthy cause. (photo – sneak peak of my piece)
More detail, dates, times addresses and phone numbers to come.
coming up in Decemeber…
Compound Gallery in Portland, Oregon has invited me to join their “End of the World” group show this coming December. Despite the rather sombre title, and the end possibly coming mid-December this year (according to Mayan prophets), the show promises a dash of tongue in cheek know-what-I-mean say no more, so I’m looking forward to playing around with the idea of the end of the world minus floods, locusts and the second coming of AKB48.
new work in progress…
New work! Half way through a short series of watercolour and pencil pieces right now. So far, I’ve scanned and uploaded 3 of a series of 10. More to come in the near future – so check back soon.
summer heat…
It’s been scorching hot in Niigata the last few weeks and near impossible to do anything in the studio. There are a few new things floating about though- small size drawings on some really nice arches watercolour paper I picked up last week. You can check them out on my flickr
A fresh start…
If you have popped into the site over the last few days, you may have noticed it’s been down. Well, it’s back up and it’s had an overhaul with the help of Shaking Paper. Same art work and news will be at your finger tips, plus browsing from smaller devices (ie. phones and tablet devices) has been added to the mix for your convenience. Furthermore, anyone interested in joining up for a newsletter can enter their email up there on the right hand side and I will deliver to your metaphorical door. If you have any comments or questions, drop me an email via the contact page.
Look forward to hearing from you, and thanks for all the the support.
Cheers, Sean.
Back to work…
After a few weeks of R&R in Tasmania and Melbourne, I’m feeling refreshed and already into my next major piece. Here’s progress so far. Another 110 x 79 cm monster, but so far so good. You can get a sneak peak into how gridding up the paper helps keep everything nice and straight. It’s the technical side of the work, but I’ve had a lot of questions about how I keep the perspective consistent, and it’s developed into a kind of routine now. Check back soon for more updates.

On the way home…
Right now I’m sitting at the station waiting for my train to embark on the first leg of my 32 hour trip home. The familiar sound of electronic chimes and p.a. announcements. The long haul. In 32 hours I’ll be back in Tasmania. In 33 hours I’ll probably be very much asleep, and for the next week or so I hope to be doing just that and little else. So posts and artwork will be light, but I’m looking forward to getting back to work with some new inspiration and a bit more energy. In the meantime the 2012 gallery had been updated with some of the pieces I’ve done recently. See everyone in 2 weeks!
details…
I got the scanned data back from the print shop today and they did a fantastic job capturing all the fine details. The image was enormous, so my trusty old computer choked on it for a while, but I’ve managed to sample a few details for closer inspection. Technical issues aside, the piece is done, and over the last few months I’ve learned a great deal about drawing craft, the limits of my technique and also had (a lot of) time to consider why I’m doing such labour intensive work. Hope you enjoy.
