2012 Premiers Round – Jarrad Waite (number 30)

3 Aug

I love this dude – he’s so damn athletic and he looks a little like a wolf roving around. He doesn’t really run so much as lope. And he’s such a good mark!!

AND – he’s played for the mighty Blues for 150 games!!!! This week against the mighty Swans at Etihad (where we haven’t had the best bunch of games, it must be said).
For other pics in the series go here
(By the way – just ignore the bits in the picture that say Round 7 and The Saints … I drew this months ago and then found out that he was being rested, then injured … and then he didn’t come back until this round – … so he didn’t reach 150 until this week … I’ll fix it up after I get the score at the end of the game)

This is from my sketchbook at the beautiful house concert in Hobart on Sunday the 22nd of July.
Tim played bouzouki with Nigel Varley (contrabass) and Kim Kerze (banjo and electronics) – it was exquisite!

Bluebagger Heroes 2012 – Sam Rowe

19 Jul

Sam Rowe in on the Blues’ list, he’s a mature aged rookie, this was to be his first year. Most Carlton fans were looking forward to an exciting prospect up forward for the Blues – a key position player that we so badly need. But when Sam got diagnosed with testicular cancer I reckon that put life into a stark contrast. I watched Sam’s interview on the tv during the second game against Collingwood (where we beat them yet again) when they were raising awareness for the Peter MacAllum institute for cancer research – he’s a brave bloke.

Life can throw you some curly ones – So I drew this in his honour.

Well … it’s been a strange week – we have no captain … I’m not even certain we have a vice captain these days.

But here’s a man with balls –

Rough sketch of poster

7 Jul

This is a sketch I did for an abandoned project recently … well – I abandoned the concept for the poster … I still kind of like the picture … and i turned it upside down to look at this way – I like it even more … but I won’t use it because I’m not sure about the theme for the concert that it’s for yet … that’s in November – stay tuned.

Number #22 – Shaun Hampson had eye surgery in the off season – he’s been playing some absolute corkers despite the team having a form slump!

We play the Pies for the second time this season – GO BLUES!!!

The Long Weekend Pages 96-98

previous pages to read

Next pages in a few weeks – check back here.

So the first page here took me ages … as in, it didn’t take me long to do – I just procrastinated for ages on it … because I was sort of dreading the work that it would require in terms of research. It turned out quite nice I reckon. The themes are starting to get a little Chatwin-ish here with the Songlines criss-crossing the planet.

From September to December I’ll be starting a campaign to see if I can get this project funded for printing. I have asked the wonderful Nadine Kessler to assist by doing the book design. Pay attention to this FACEBOOK page for update … or if you’re not a facebooker then come back to this website during that time and you can find links to the campaign here – you’ll be able to make a pre-order on the book then!
