The panda Ed. 1 of 50

This drawing is part of series relating to immigrants arriving in Australia.

This drawing continues a theme that I have been building on. I'm trying to get people to think how animals from different countries would react if they had to meet. As humans we are not very kind or hospitable to foreigners and immigrants

​We all know Australia needs China just like China needs Australia. Although they don’t like to admit it sometimes but they support each other, even if it’s just for a tasty snack of bamboo shoots and eucalyptus leaves.

I tried to show a bit of friendship and support that they have for each other while still doing their own thing.

'A foreign affair'

Different animals treat each other with respect and let them be. I believe humans need to do the same. In this series A foreign affair' I will be using iconic animals from different countries in a scene showing how they would interact.

I use my art as escape from my daily grind as an industrial designer.
The sketching and drawing I do for work is very precise and accurate, often just simple 2 dimensional shapes and objects. Its quite constricting but I get to explore and understand shape, form, scale and negative space.
With my pencil drawing I get to be more expressive. Both constrictive and expressive drawing styles help me to explore and expand my drawing abilities, experimenting with new compositions, view points and techniques

Graphite pencils have been my go to medium for years although recently I have ventured into the world of colour pencils and oil pastels. Some say there is no turning back?
I like to explore different subject matter, challenging myself with levels of detail and textures.

Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any queries or commission related questions, and thanks for looking at my profile.
