Sharpie marker on yellow ‘cloth-textured’ paper, August 2008.
376. Collage: horses and birds
August 31, 2009
Mixed media, July 2009.
This is a collage of my various horse sketches and bird sketches, all glued together! The birds are mostly inspired by southern Australian native species. The horses are mostly inspired by Arabian horses.
It’s available as a card or laminated print at my Bubblesite at RedBubble.Com.
367. Horse and Cupcakes
July 23, 2009
Pen, watercolour pastel and watercolour pencil on paper, Septemeber 2008.
This drawing was inspired by the desert-style horse. I guess I got its general body shape from Akhal-Teke style horses. The cupcakes are inspired by… umm… cupcakes.

Photos from the Bass Coast, Victoria, Australia. Situated on the South East of the Australian mainland, the Bass Coast is a beautiful stretch of beaches and Marine National Parks. It is notable for its fossils of dinosaurs and bird life - as well as being a spectacularly clean place. I grew up in the area and while I don’t live there anymore, I love travelling there to photograph and sketch it, and to make sure my suburban-raised children grow up knowing what a clean, syringe-free beach is like! The Gippsland Tourism website has information for travellers to the area, see: http://www.gippslandtourism.com.au/South-Gippsland/ and http://www.gippslandtourism.com.au/Bass-Coast/. I am always happy to share info on travelling to the South Gippsland region, for any blog readers who are interested! The above photo was taken in Kilcunda, which is not far from Wonthaggi.

Romantic Giraffes! I’ve been amazed at the popularity of my giraffe designs. Turns out there’s a lot of fellow giraffe fanatics out there!

INRI – inspired by the Latinised abbreviation of “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” I’ve made this as both a t-shirt (available in cuts and colours other than the default shown here). While I’ve generally avoided representations of Christianity in my t-shirts, and I on’t want to succumb to cheesiness, I felt that this was a labour of love. The brilliance, uniqueness and wonder of the Gospel – that Jesus died and rose again – means that the vile execution device of the Ancient Romans becomes a symbol of hope for millions of believers linked across the ages. Wow. I can’t begin to describe what Jesus means to me.
Other recent t-shirt designs include a winged horse and hmm another winged horse!
343. Purple And Green Star Horse
May 22, 2009
Watercolour pencil and fine liner ink pen on medium tooth paper, 2007.
This is just a little thumbnail sketch. I was looking at different ways to represent cutesy horses – without turning it into a My Little Pony!
Asiatic Wild Horse, Poland

327. Budenny
April 6, 2009
Graphite pencil on paper, February 2009.
It must be all the Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky books on my bedside table, or the interest in Eastern European culture I”ve developed since marrying a part-Ukrainian… but I thought I’d have a go drawing Russian types of horses. As most of the time I draw Arabians or Thoroughbreds, it was kind of nice taking a break and drawing the Russian breeds. This one is inspired by the Budenny breed of horse.

Romanian Horse
March 24, 2009
I suspect this is a Lipizzaner. Wow, 1984. I was 2 years old then… How I ended up with this stamp, I’m not 100% sure.
323. Trotting Horse… Yes, another one
March 23, 2009
Felt tip marker on cream tinted paper, December 2008.
Horsey
321. Horse And Rider
March 9, 2009
Felt tip marker on cream tinted paper, 2008.
Another sketch experimenting with felt tip markers. This was inspired by a warmblood dressage horse photo. I’ve tried to avoid too much detail and try to cnocentrate on the general flow and shapes. I hope that I managed to capture the movements.
319. Trotting Horse On Red Paper
February 23, 2009
Felt tip marker on paper, 2008.
I was spending an evening just practising quick sketching and – as usual – the horse theme happened. I was trying to do something different from my usual attempts at remotely reaslistic Arabian Horse faces… I like the freedom and simplicity of line sketches made using humble children’s felt tip markers.
318. Colourful Horse
February 16, 2009
Watercolour pencil, ink liner and coloured pencil on paper, A7 (yes, that’s right, A7!) watercolour paper, 2008.
299. Arabian Colt
November 12, 2008
October 2008, pencil on paper.
This is from a greeting card I designed recently. It’s based on the more ‘exotic’ type of Arabian horse – and I must say, for once, I was actually happy with the proportions.
