FIGHTLAND

For the past few months I have been doing work for Fightland, Vice Magazine's martial arts portal. 

It's always a challenge but always satisfying to do something like this. Here is a bunch of work I have done for them.

The Camel Clutch

Nate Diaz

The Stockton Slap

Headshots

Ken Shamrock

Jon Jones

The 52 Blocks

Kimbo Slice

NEW THINGS

My plan this year was originally to learn how to draw comics, and also paint. 

Things have changed drastically though and I have just started a tattoo apprenticeship at a studio in Napier. My art bud Matt owns Bloodline Tattoo and it was just one of those fateful things that it happened at all, but I couldn't be more excited.

Tattooing is something I have always been really into, a lot of my family and friends are involved in it in some way or another and I guess I always thought I would never have the opportunity to get into it myself.  

So I'm super stoked and feel massively privileged to have the opportunity to learn.

At the moment I'm starting on the very basics, learning to draw traditional american style flash. I'm sure things will change in time but for now i'm focusing on the master, Sailor Jerry

.I'll post progress pics as I go!

Here are some early drawings from the past few weeks, the panther heads are mine, the rest are tracings to learn form and coloring style.

My plan is this year to get a heap of new work done, try out some different mediums and basically focus hard on what I am doing. Here are some new things I made to see in 2016.
