FACEPOCALYPSE

Jack mentioned my Florence Welch portrait reminded him of the infamous All Your Base image, so I thought I’d do a tribute sketch. For great justice.

In other news, I got back from Melbourne on Monday.

Excuse the laziness re: my sketchblog. I’ve been stuck in holiday mode. I have been working on a commissioned family portrait though, but can’t really post it til completed.

I was pretty impressed with Melbourne compared to Perth. As a city it’s pretty functional.

Pros:

• Good public transport
• Easy to navigate
• Cheap food, of higher quantity and quality
• Restaurant/cafe service is far beyond Perth’s
• More alternative/indie culture
• Awesome bands actually play shows there!
• The government supports art and design in a forward-thinking manner!
• Better nightlife
• People migrate there from all over the place, so the population is more mixed.

Cons:

• The weather
• Lots of hoons/prominent car culture
• The city is pretty grey. Literally. There are dark grey sidewalks and buildings all over the place. Way to be mopey.
• The weather
• Seemingly not as sporty as Perth. Indie/alt crew aren’t the most active of people.
• The weather.

I’m trying to line up a project for Melbourne this year. Hopefully halfway through the year. Time to up the ante.
