AIRBRUSHING/ART:
I have completed Tony Vowels Airbrush Venturi photo rendering and portraiture course in 2006, and again in 2009. It was such a great opportunity to learn about facial shape, form and Light/Shadow. I often do paintings for clients. Ive painted Pets, Celebraties and loved family members onto large Canvas's. I've also combined my uniqure cartooning style with my airbrushing and put on a couple of small exhibition at the North Shores 'Artspace' Gallery. Please look at the attachments below.
MUSIC:
I am the lead vocalist in a few musical projects. The main one being an Original Hardrock progresssive band called "Frozen Alice" and in a covers band called "Whitewash" playing rock/pop covers regularly at weddings, bars, parties and functions all over Auckland and Northland. I also play solo acoustic shows in bars and restaraunts all over Auckland. Although as much fun as it is, i hope to leave the covers world behind me and record an original solo album at the end of 2011.
