WWII Nose Art


I was recently up in Darwin N.T. and visited the WWII Air Museum. Along with the gigantic B-52 bomber, the hanger full of awesome historic machines of the air got me inspired to create some artwork under the theme.

This is the first off the rack of a few pieces that will eventually be mosaic-ed into one large piece! Done in pen & Prismacolor pencils, Photoshop background.

If you're interested in buying this one as a large canvas print/5mm MDF board-mounted print, contact me at barra011@hotmail.com

Fringe 2011 - Hot Out The Oven exhibit



This year for the Fringe Festival, myself and three other awesome illustrators - Leigh Harder, Chloe McGregor and Gemma Buratto - are exhibiting over two locations in Adelaide. The first location is the Metropolitan Hotel, 46 Grote St. from the 15th Feb - 13th March. The second being at the Dog & Duck, 125 Hindley St. from the 18th Feb - 12th March.

Opening night will be on the 2nd March from 7pm at the Dog & Duck and established illustrator and university lecturer, Geert Van Keulen, will be taking the opening speech.

At the Dog & Duck I'll have four pieces wrapped on large canvases, and there will be 3 pieces mounted on board at the Metro. See above images for cropped previews...

Come and check it out/buy some awesome artwork for that blank wall of yours! Get in touch with me if you are interested in a custom piece of art on large canvas/framed/mounted on 5mm mdf board.
