My graphic novel Apt. 41 is now available to order here:
The book is 42 pages, perfect bound and printed on 130gsm munken polar, while the cover is 300gsm textured card. As this is self-published there will only be a limited amount available, while the first 20 sold will come with an original drawing. So excited to finally get this out there!
Now to get started on work for our next group exhibition which will be held in Auckland on Jan 31st, keep a look out for updates in the coming weeks.
Paperman by Disney is a wordless tale of romance between two strangers in mid-century New York City, the movie is a simple construct, supremely well-rendered, and in black-and-white, except for a few crucial blotches of red lipstick. It may, in its modest way, point towards a new frontier in animation, where computer-generated visuals are brought face to face with old-style hand-drawing, because it uses both at once.

All we want for Christmas is Philippe Halsman’s ‘Jump Book’… photographer Halsman, who had over 101 Life covers during his career, was not content to photograph his subjects sitting still but instead asked them to jump. The way that each person jumped showed their true personality. There are hundreds of photographs of iconic figures jumping, including President Nixon, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Dali, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and architect Walter Gropius. Sadly the book is now out of print you might be able to track it down.
