Here's my artwork from 2002-2004; the senior high school years. Probably one of my most productive artistic periods to date.



Artwork: Hey, Ladies! (2004)

Thumb: Hey, Ladies! (2004)

Click on the image for the full size version. I've never really been a fan of raunch culture, and at one point in 2004 I was less than amused by the amount of clothing targeted at teenagers my age that supported it. So, I picked up my rage pen and drew a satirical advertisement which I ...

Portrait: Ben Kweller (2004)

Ben Kweller (2004)

Here’s a wee portrait I drew mid-2004 right after I got into Ben Kweller; one of my first real attempts at a portrait.

Thumb: Nobu-chan Birthday Card (2004)

This was a birthday card I wrote for my first Japanese tutor back in high school. She had a cat called "Meru-chan" (short for "Melbourne), and it was one of those kitties who looked permanently grumpy. Click the image for the full-sized version.

Artwork: Apathetic Swordthumb

Thumb: Apathetic Swordthumb (2004)

Thumb: Chocolate High (2004)

This was drawn directly after a chocolate high in order to recapture the glorious feeling.

Portrait: Father Ted (2004)

Thumb: Father Ted (2004)

I love the show "Father Ted". I drew this portrait of the late (and great!) Dermot Morgan's titular character just after I became obsessed with it.

Thumb: Kavita & Swordthumb are Bored (2003)

This was a picture designed to go in an old web site of mine in the artwork depository. I thought it might be fun to put both Kiba and Swordthumb in their own worlds with their own colouring schemes. I remember I thought I was so cool for incorporating a photo of lightning in the background! ...

Artwork: Street Spirit (2003)

Thumb: Street Spirit (2003)

This was my interpretation of a line from Radiohead's song "Street Spirit". I used to love drawing stylised hearts back then.
