My studio
This is my work area in about it's normal state, I don't let it get too disorganised as I can't find anything at all. People often ask me what type of computer I use and, like a lot of graphic artists, the tool of my choice is a Macintosh. I couldn't envisage using anything else and am an incorrigible 'Machead' !!
For the technical it's a MacPro 2 x 2.66Mhz dual core processors, 7 gigs of RAM, 4 x 250 Gig internal hard drives with two flat LCD screens a Dell 24" and an Apple 20" - I'm hoping to replace the Dell with a 30" Apple in 2008. Cost a fair bit but I spend a lot of time sitting in front of this lot and the quality, reliability and ease of use pays for itself - it's good gear.
Also I use an Epson 4800 printer and a Wacom Intuos 3 A5 drawing tablet.
The caricature of me on the wall was done by Vin Altamore of New Jersey, USA it's one of my favourites -check out his link.

Bobtail goanna
Don't do an lot of animal caricatures - in fact I can't think of any - but I had to feature a Bobtail Goanna in a Christmas caricature for some one who has a stifling fear of these small inoffensive creatures. Sadly their habit of sunning themselves on bitumen roads brings about the demise of lot of them.
The client loved the caricature and asked where I got the Bobtail clipart from - cheeky bugger !!
The Cobra & others ......
Pablo
A bit of self indulgence here - as a life long Tractor Boy who has kept the faith despite being 12,000 miles from the hallowed Portman Road turf and the fact we haven't had much to cheer over the last few years - check out this sensational goal from Pablo Counago
Oh we still lost the game !!

Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson
This caricature was completed for the 'Make a Wish' foundation for auctioning at the sixth annual 'Kev Classic' Tournament held at Secret Harbour Golf Links on December 14th.
The 'Make a Wish' Foundation do a brilliant job raising funds to help very sick children realise their dreams - trips to Disneyland, Grand Prix's - anything, anywhere - great.
Kev's happy to help - so am I

Barring something unusual happening (fingers crossed !) Kevin Rudd will become Australia's next Prime Minister in the November elections. So far in front on the Polls it would take a major stumble / gaff to blow it !
Photoshop CS3 - harder work than it would seem - he wanted to look like Bert Newton - are they related ?
.......... added version 2 above, still not there, maybe I'll go with the cartoonists on this just do a basketball with glasses !!
...... never bothered to put this one on my website, I'll revisit it from scratch one day soon, he's really annoying me as PM certainly needs the 'treatment' - licking lips and ear wax - he makes a lot more sense when talking Mandarin !!

Has a dreadful nasally voice with an Aussie accent you can cut - they'll need subtitles overseas.
Photoshop Cs3 - just under 5 hours.

I've opened a little account on RedBubble where you can buy prints of my celebrity caricatures and clothing - in particular T shirts with caricature prints on. Started it off with a greyscale of old rocker Mick. Looks great on a black T shirt .......

Here are a few samples of work I've completed over the last 12 months. In truth I've just been playing in Photobucket and seeing what it does - not sure if I really like this one !!!

Something completely different .....
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fQ9_fyU_RnE/Rmx5Bduk2gI/AAAAAAAAAC8/quFdxJIdeWM/s400/blue_heeler_sml.jpg)
Done using Artrage 2.0 software and finished in Photoshop CS3.
An Australian Cattle dog the Blue Heeler - they can be cranky individuals.
A pleasant change but I was tempted to give him big feet and a huge nose !!!
